The experience
Before the world gets going. In a nature area in the Netherlands, somewhere between forest, dune or open landscape. At 06.00 the coffee is ready. Phones off, watches off. Sun and moon on.
What once began with a small group has grown into a fixed place for calm, reflection and connection. People who walk along sometimes find new perspectives, sometimes their own rhythm back, and sometimes simply a morning in which nothing has to happen. No office. No agenda. Just heading out together, into nature.
The Community Hike is free of charge. We believe nature belongs to everyone. The exchange lies in your time, your presence and your curiosity.
Who this is for
Said plainly, so you can rule it out as easily as rule it in.
- For everyone who feels like playing and going deeper outside for a morning
- You don't need a specific question — maybe something is moving, maybe you just want a few hours without distraction
- Anyone who takes a walk now and then can join
What's included
Included

Nature's Playground
5 years running experiences
Niels Thijssen and Alexander “Ali” Gerritse take individuals, teams and organisations into the wild so that they come home, in their own words, “essentially different”. Their working idea is awe — the moment nature is so much bigger than your own story that the mind briefly falls silent and perspective shifts. Programmes run from a single day in Dutch woodland up to four-month trajectories built around an expedition in Italy, South Africa, Norway or Slovakia, and they also run a free monthly Community Hike.
