About this event
In the middle of our busy lives, we often forget how deeply we are connected to nature and how much we actually need it to feel calm, clear and grounded. Especially when we live in a city we sometimes forget to make time for a walk in nature.
There’s a reason why in Japan, time in nature (“forest bathing”) is even prescribed by doctors.
It helps regulate the nervous system, reduce stress and bring us back into balance.
This morning immersion in the Amsterdamse Bos is an invitation to experience that for yourself but with a slightly different approach.
We won't be just walking through nature, but we will use nature as a gateway back into the body.
How the morning will look like:
We begin slowly, arriving in the space and gently stepping out of the rush of everyday life.
You’ll be guided through different practices that help you reconnect with your body and senses:
We’ll awaken the senses, allowing you to become more present with what you see, hear and feel. A simple yet powerful way to come out of the mind and into the body.
Through a somatic movement flow, you’ll be invited to move in a way that feels natural and intuitive, releasing tension and creating space in the body.
We’ll work with a nervous system reset, using accessible tools to bring your system into a state of calm and safety. And we'll finish in a way that nature itself becomes a mirror.
We close the morning with a shared, nourishing breakfast in nature, giving you time to land, connect and integrate the experience. Because I believe food is love and that should always be shared.
This experience is for you if you:
-> feel the need to slow down and step out of your routine
-> spend a lot of time “in your head”
-> want to reconnect with your body in a gentle way
-> are curious about combining nature with inner work
No experience needed! Just an open mind and comfortable clothing.
If you have physical problems we can make adjustments in the morning flow, don't worry.
This morning immersion is part of a series of 3 workshops, designed to help you reconnect with your body in different ways.

About Melanie:
For the past 10 years, I have been working with the body as a foundation for change and healing. About halfway through that journey, I began to deepen into the mind and nervous system as well by studying coaching, breathwork, energy work and hypnosis.
This path started from a very personal place. My own nervous system had been deeply overwhelmed for a long time, shaped by earlier experiences. Learning how to reconnect with my body and find safety within it became the turning point and eventually, the basis of my work.
Today, I combine different modalities to support others in that same process. I continue to study and expand my approach, often integrating nature as a powerful element within my work.
My intention is always the same: to help you find a sense of calm, safety and connection within your own body (and within the patterns you carry).
