De belevenis
This expedition is about returning to joy. It begins at the Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre above Lago Maggiore for preparation and grounding, then moves up into the mountains.
Cold exposure, breathwork and stillness are used the way the research supports them: to settle the nervous system and build emotional resilience. Multi-day hiking through Val Gronda terrain asks nothing of you except presence.
Deep Ecology practices, following the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects, run alongside guided group processes designed to build belonging. The programme weaves these elements together with love — in one of the most humbling landscapes on earth.

OTRO Elements
Organiseert al 6 jaar belevenissen
OTRO Elements run “nature-based expeditions designed for reflection, deep connection, and the art of letting go”. Their basecamp is Alpe Selvaccia — 22 hectares of alpine meadow and pine forest above Rassa in the Valsesia, with rustic huts, a fire circle, a tipi and a yoga platform looking out at Monte Rosa. They call the facilitator team the Tribe: Quirine, Fenneke, Tjeerd, Marit, Kalijn, Fernanda, Raymond, Robert-Jan, Benny and others, working alongside local Italian hosts and mountain guides.
