In April and May, after being frozen solid for months, the ice on the rivers begins to melt, break and flow downstream. This time marks the annual rebirth in nature. Fowers and plants show signs of life after being buried under snow for months Reindeer begin to calve, and the days become increasingly longer with summer just around the corner.

The element ‘wood’ is associated with new beginnings, connecting with cosmic forces and promoting spiritual growth. It is also associated with our imagination and fantasy. The power of vision and the ability to dream something in future are all possible. We use this time for sitting around the crackling campfire together, meditating, and doing mindfulness exercises specifically designed to connect with the power of vision. This process is supported by seasonal food preparation at the fire and chopping wood together. Every activity we introduce allows you to feel your energy breaking through and increases your ability to focus.

Our canine coaching partners also feel this breakthrough energy. They become more adventurous and their leadership abilities are even more apparent. We will incorporate this flow of energy into various outdoor activities. Again, Shamanic healing drumming, along with acupuncture, sauna, and hot tub immersions round off the day. In the cozy teepee, next to wood burning stove, you can once again can indulge in your visions.

Usual temperatures: 5°C to 15°C
