Would you like to boost your sense of connection with both yourself and nature? Do you long for a moment of reflection on a quiet, crisp autumn morning? And would you like to be inspired by stories and experiences from the wilderness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday morning, June 24, the Foundation for Natural Leadership (FNL) is organizing an ‘early morning walk’ from 7:30 to 10:30 AM with South African guide Alan Mc Smith, hosted by FNL facilitator Nienke den Os in the Amsterdamse Bos, close to the Zuidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan is an experienced nature guide who, through dedicating his life to discovery and experiences in the Okavango Delta, and through his connection with the wisdom and knowledge of the baYei Bushman, the Herero, and Shangaan trackers, no longer sees the wilderness as a place to visit but as a way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWilderness is not a place; it\u2019s a way of life. We cannot be sure where our work ends and where our personal space begins. Or if the boundary even exists at all. Our lives are a declaration to share both, and to respectfully suggest that the human experience cries out for harmony with nature. The natural world is not something apart; it is a living comfort that feeds our souls.\u201d (https:\/\/www.alanmcsmith.com\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan is visiting the Netherlands and is eager to share his knowledge and experiences with FNL trail participants. We will gather at the parking lot next to the Bosbaan in Amsterdam (near the Bosbaan restaurant) and then take a walk under his guidance through the natural surroundings of Amsterdam. Afterward, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and share experiences in a “talking stick” style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cover Alan\u2019s travel and accommodation expenses, we ask for a contribution of \u20ac17.50 (and \u20ac17.50 for non-FNL members), including VAT. (Those interested who have no trail experience are also welcome).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
