Shambhala Wilderness School: Austria The school was founded 1997 by Claudia R. Pichl, Franz P. Redl and Peter Wetzler (Austria). Our focus is on rites of passage work in various different settings: Vision Quest, 4 Shields and Medicine Wheel, Ceremonies of the 4 Shields, Mirroring, Sweatlodge, and a year-long group 'Spiraling to your Self'. We also train people in a very individual way to become Vision Quest guides (2 to 4 years). We offer seminars in: Austria, Italy, Sinai/ Egypt, Sahara / Libya and Southern Africa. We are teaching in the spirit of the "School of Lost Borders" and our own way of the heart and with the background of our long experience. We have sponsored Steven and Meredith, and now sponsor Meredith and Scott in Central Europe (Mirroring and Empowerment, and The Practice of Living and Dying). www.wilderness.at , This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Renaissance Foundation: South Africa Judy Bekker and Valerie Morris have been guiding vision fasts in the Cape, South Africa for the last 16 years. Their eleven day programmes begin and end next to the Indian Ocean and the solo fast is set in a huge tract of private wilderness three hours out of Cape Town. The land is beautiful and generous and filled with the art of the bushman people who once roamed and hunted there. Judy and Valerie run up to four programmes a year in the summer months between October and March.

Our work is informed by the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Norse ancestral traditions of these islands, together with ecopsychological perspectives. We offer weekends focusing on, for example, the four ways of being as well as vision quests. We are part of the European English Speaking Network of wilderness guides.

Beside our own workshops and Vision Quests in the spirit of the School of Lost Borders, we offer training programs, team development and coachings in this spirit. Our aim is to introduce “rites of passage work” to places where therapists, socialworkers and teachers work with others in transition crisis on a daily basis. In this context we have seen the need for modern Mentors to guide others through the process of transition. Therefore we have created a special two year training program to explore the themes of mentoring and the diverse forms of rites of passage and the vision quest. For this training we offer seminars that address special fields of this work, cooperating with a faculty of international teachers. We feel honoured to sponsor staff from The School of Lost Borders. Women and Earth: Switzerland www.womenandearth.ch/, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Women and Earth was founded in 1996 by Susann Belz. With a circle of different teachers from around the world, we offer many programs. All the training's are earth-based teachings and have many different settings: Weekend Groups, Vision Fasts, week-long trainings in healing ways, and Rituals for the 8 Seasons. The School is a place for women. Together we learn and grow, always in mind to what serves Mother Earth and all her beings who are a part of this great family. A very important ingredient of the learning is living together during these seminars in a beautiful house just on the border of Switzerland and France - a chance to deal with our own borders and boundaries. |
