Soul-Centric Families – A Wild Family Camp – Otago

25 January, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 28 January, 2024 @ 3:00 pm

  • « AUCKLAND – Communicating Compassionately – NVC Foundation Weekend with Deb & Wayne
  • Words Matter (online/Anna B) »

Enjoy a relaxing and nature-soaked bath with your most precious inner tribe. Set in the relaxing and tranquil Hunter Hills in Waimate, Canterbury.

Upskill your family dialogue while dipping in and out of the mystery and wonder of the natural world. Facilitated by skilled Nonviolent Communication (NVC) facilitators and Ecotherapists.

Play with and enjoy witnessing the play of your children as they are guided and encouraged to wild their souls a little in both unstructured and structured nature based play.

Enjoy eating in community wholesome gluten free plant based meals and retire each night after a story around the fire (or community led entertainment) and wake each day into your tents with natures melodic chorus.

This weekend begins on a Friday night and ends on Sunday afternoon. It offers parents an opportunity to unwind, sharpen their soul centric parenting communication, enjoy games and fun in the wild with their children while also taking space for contemplative self-reflection in nature.

The facilitators are skilled in Nonviolent communication (NVC), Ecotherapy and supporting children to play naturally in the wild.

What we provide: Lunch and dinner (gluten free plant based), teas and coffee, plant-based milks.
