⦿ the fire within ⦿
~ a retreat in the forest
23.-25.05.2026 // 1h from Berlin
a small group.
three days in the forest.
time to slow down. time to feel.
firelight. birdsong.
earth beneath our feet.
fresh air and spring energy.
movement, silence, connection.
we step out of the everyday
and into something simpler.
something more honest.
we listen to the body.
to what feels alive.
to what feels ready to shift.
some moments quiet. some full of energy.
some asking for courage.
we walk through the forest.
we gather around the fire.
we move, rest, share, breathe.
we cook and eat together.
little by little,
something opens.
vitality returns.
clarity appears.
what wants to change
begins to show itself.
nature becomes companion and mirror.
the group a space to be real.
this retreat is not about becoming someone else.
it is about coming closer
to the fire within.
3 days & 2 nights
outdoor
daily embodiment practices in nature
guided nature therapy sessions
connecting with nature, yourself & others
music, movement & dance in nature
sharing & experiencing in a safe space
community, fire circles, cooking & connection
being & silence
everything in between...
"Olivia lead us through a beautiful journey, talking us through our insecurities, emotions and personal discoveries with her fully present warmth, soul and knowledge. Combining sharp nature therapy and freeing dances turned this weekend into a truly empowering and reinvigorating experience."
~ Leonore
"Vorerst ging es mir bei Olivia's Retreat im Wald darum, zu entschleunigen, `der Natur‘ näher zu kommen und mehr darüber zu lernen. Was ich nicht erwartet hätte ist, wie emotional die Walderfahrung werden würde. Olivia bietet ganz viel Raum über sich hinauszuwachsen und sich sicher zu fühlen und es waren ganz tolle Menschen dabei."
~ Sophia
"Gestern erkundigte sich eine gute Freundin von mir nach dem Retreat, und als ich ihr ausführlich davon erzählte, fiel mir erst wieder auf, wie viele intensive und gute Eindrücke ich in den drei Tagen mitgenommen habe. Ganz herzlichen Dank - Du hast mir / uns einen sehr fürsorglichen und guten Rahmen gegeben, und ich werde sicherlich noch lange davon zehren!"

Who is guiding this retreat?
Hi. I’m Olivia and I’m looking forward already to accompany you and the group on this very special journey. I’m a systemic nature therapist. My vision is to help you to connect with your inner and outer nature. There is so much to discover out there – especially about ourselves. I’m aiming to support and guide you through your discoveries based on your own personal perspective.
What do I need to bring?
You'll get a detailed packing list once you register. The essentials are:
-
(inflatable) sleeping mat
-
sleeping bag
-
tarp & ropes as your main shelter (we suggest you to follow our invitation to sleep without a tent but please speak to us if that is something holding you back. We’ll sure find a solution.)
-
for eating: plate or bowl, cup, cutlery
-
head torch or flashlight
* Certain equipment can be rented from me.
* We won't walk a lot with the equipment, meaning you don't need a hiking backpack.
Here you can read more about my wild camping equipment and tips.
What are the pillars of this retreat?
-
connecting with your outer & inner nature

With which topics can I take part?

-
you feel stuck in your life
-
you are facing a crisis or a decision to be made
-
you feel the call to connect more with nature, the elements and yourself
-
you want to explore what wants to be seen

Where does it take place?
The retreat will take place close to Eberswalde. We'll spend our time in a little secluded private forest next to an old manor.
The space provides a beautiful balance between a wild, old and untouched forest with the proximity of urban structures around us to hold us. We'll have an emergency shelter and the luxury of a compost toilet and running water. The exact location will be sent to you after your registration.
You can also easily arrive via train to Eberswalde and onwards via bus or a shared taxi. We'll also organize car pools from Berlin if applicable.
