We want to warmly invite you to our Advanced Trainer course Tending the Wild Soul from 27th of July until 1st of August in the Belgian Ardennes with Rupert Marques. 
Rupert has been working in 
the field of experiential Nature-based practice for over 25 years, with a
 particular emphasis on rites of passage and contemplative practice in 
the wilderness. He has learned and worked with many elders in the
 field, such as Joanna Macy, Steven Foster and Meredith Little, Joseph 
Goldstein, Arnold Mindell,..
In this course, Rupert and I will be guiding a process that explores the foundations between contemplative and nature-based practice.
 Specifically, we will be looking at how the Four Foundations of 
Mindfulness and nature-based practices from the Four Directions 
Developmental Wheel (Bill Plotkin) can be mutually supportive to one 
another and deepen the ground of presence in our daily work for this 
world as guides.   
We also feel a strong importance to gather people who are already engaged in this work in Belgium, together with new facilitators who are called to explore how to offer their own work in the field of nature-based practice. 
As
facilitators leading you through this process, we will be modelling this approach to intergenerational learning -
one of us being an experienced facilitator and one of us being relatively new, yet very much dedicated towards this
field. 
Acknowledging the increasing importance of peer-mentorship and mutual inspiration in these times, our work is offered as a meeting ground that wants to sow seeds for future collaborations and cross language peer-learning, at a time when this work is becoming increasingly important in facing the magnitude of the collective challenges we are living through.
We hope to enable a gathering that will inspire the heart of many, both us and all the beings that are reached by our work. 
We warmly invite you to fill in the application form
 if you are called to join this adventure to meet other nature-based 
trainers in Belgium and receive inspiration from experienced or new 
facilitators in the field, while also deepening your own skills and 
tools to offer this work. If you unfortunately can't join this journey, 
but would love to be informed about future offerings, please also get in
 touch with us, so that we can keep you updated about future offerings. 
We hope to create a regular gathering of peers out of this journey, if 
there is a steady interest. 
Please
 also feel open to invite and forward this invitation to your team 
partners, co-facilitators or other nature coaches or guides that you 
know of, for whom you feel this journey might be close to their heart 
and of great interest. The course will be held in English, but 
translations in French, Dutch or German will be possible. 
The training will take place at Chamai, in the Belgian Ardennes. You can read more here about the place and its story and the vision of the work being offered. Full hosting is included in the course, you can find more about the scaled pricings here in the detailed program description.  
If you have any other questions or inquiries, please do reach out to us through chamaicentre@gmail.com
Looking forward to welcoming you here on this land and to a fruitful journey together, diving into the depths of this work. 
For the love of this Earth and our People,
with blessings and love,
Sophie & Rupert
