mother nature
journey course
The project started by looking at Joseph Campbell Hero’s Journey and searching for threads of connection and relevance to the journey of motherhood. Hero’s Journey served as an inspiration and framing to write up the curriculum of Mother Nature Journey Course, while making it more feminine and relevant to us as mothers.
The first pilot groups met in 2018. Over 100 women joined these groups and we integrated all the feedback and learnings to create a course of six face-to-face meetings that are run locally by trained Mother Nature facilitators using a mixed methodology of art- Nature- and mindfulness-based learning methodology.
Mother Nature Journey Course is led by a facilitator and follows the same curricula regardless if you join one in Germany, UK, Slovenia or elsewhere. Each meeting explores one step of the mother’s journey and through conversation, creativity, nature connection and reflection participants get a new perspective on their own pathway.
If you are interested in taking part in one of the courses, please get in touch or join our mailing list to be informed about future events.
Mother Nature has been an interesting perspective about motherhood and our way of living it. It has given the importance to motherhood it deserves, giving us the possibility to speak with intensity about something we can hardly ever talk about. Lovely and close experience!
Exchanging our experiences with other mothers should be part of everyday life. Knowing that I am not alone with my challenges really gave me power. The tools used during the courses helped me to express my feelings, this was liberating. I received a boost of self-confidence, quality me-time.
The biggest realisation was that other mothers are facing similar challenges. Dancing on a rainbow between pink clouds is a gift only a few mothers are given. And they weren't there.
It was good to focus on the future and to dream, especially during these times when we are lost in everyday problems and tasks, and there is so little time to plan and think big.
The meetings were all rich and stimulating for me, it was the first time I started a circle and invited women to participate... From this experience, a plan emerged to continue to meet with other mothers, maybe once a month. I would like to start an experience in nature that can be productive and nourishing at the same time.
