The experience
We meet in a nature area in the Netherlands. Away from screens, diaries and the race of daily life. Walking through forest, dunes or open landscape, space arises to pause and consider what is going on. No office, no table between us, but a conversation in motion.
This day revolves around one question that is asking for attention. Something in your work, relationship or life where you are looking for clarity. A choice you keep circling, or a feeling that something has to change. By walking, slowing down and asking the right questions, more insight often arises by itself.
We guide you in that — not with ready-made answers, but by making space so that you can find them yourself. Sometimes it stays with this one day. Sometimes it is a first step towards a longer trajectory.
Who this is for
Said plainly, so you can rule it out as easily as rule it in.
- You don't need to have a fully worked-out question — often it starts with a feeling that something is moving under the surface
- You notice that it is time to really pause
- You want the day one-to-one rather than in a group

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.
