HIKING & CONNECTING
The Nature Walk
An occasion for each one of us to enjoy the company of like-minded people and meaningful conversations while enjoying the energy of nature. A moment to relax in the mind and sink in the heart and body. We walk, we talk and we take a moment in silence for ourselves. People have always enjoyed the walks for multiple reasons. They get to know beautiful like minded people, they get to relax in nature. Whether you’re joining alone of with people, it’s always homecoming.
WHAT, HOW, WHEN?Details
Details
Group size
The group is never the same and varies depending on time of the year and the weather. We have moments of being 6 and moments of being 20+. We believe that you showed up at the nature walk that was meant for you at that moment.
What to expect
We simply go for a walk. A very accessible way of getting to know new people and allow yourself to recharge in nature. We have moments where we sit in stillness, other times when we share and hang out around the lake. It brings everything connection is about.
Duration
The walk will take at least 3,5 just to be safe. We meet around 13:30 make a good 12,5km and then come up. Often closing off with a swim in the lake.
When & Where
Next walk: Sunday 19 May
Start at 10:30 and back around 13:30-ish
This for now takes place the the Duincafe in Nationaal Park Zuid-Kennemerland. Zeeweg 12 in Overveen.
Donation based
We never charged for the walks, but if you think it is worth something to you the support/gesture is always welcome!
What people like you experienced
“Oscar has this magical gift to bring people together and have them create deep bonds in the blink of an eye. He’s genuinely curious about what makes other people tick and has no judgment. He’s a great listener. Other than that the group carried itself somehow. Even for my 4-year old the experience was amazing”
“That it’s beautiful to literally go back to basics with like minded people, enjoying the simple things life has to offer and that we humans are always more alike than we think but still very unique in every way. ”
“For me it was all that I needed! It brought me so much joy! My heart is full and I bring back a lot of inspiration from the people I have met. Oscar is such a loving and positive person. He has the ability to feel what the group needs and acts on it. So stop doubting, and join the next Back to Basics! I promise you.. You won’t regret it!”
“Let’s just keep it simple, have meaningful conversations, enjoy being together while being surrounded by nature”
Meet your guide
Hi there!
My name is Oscar, I like to call myself a life-alchemist, a Jedi and an adventurer. Sounds like a big-deal right!?
Nothing more than just a big fan of life that came to realise after traveling a great part of the world and always dealing with different people, that we’re not so different from each other. We go through the same phases, deal with the same emotions, identity and search for meaning. And this is what I want to share, by creating an opportunity to share this journey called life together. Obviously with a lot of adventure, courage and connection. Because we’re in this together.
