Fire, a symbol of warmth and transformation, has always been essential to human life. It connects us to nature’s raw power and each other through shared stories and communal experiences.
Our FIRE experience range invites you to embrace the elemental force of fire to ignite bonds and inspire unity with your surroundings. Our offers consist of experiences built around the bon-fire element.
FIRE
FIRE is a co-creating taste experience focusing on connecting with our surroundings through connecting with nature through the food we eat. Using only fresh seasonal local groceries from our National Park Partner colleagues, we ensure that nothing has traveled far, and that everything we serve is fresh out of the ground, down from the branch, out of the ocean or field. In smaller groups you prepare a multi course meal and aesthetically arrange this on the beautiful buffet table we co-create, as we know that cooking for fellow humans is always a great way of showing compassion.
We bring all groceries, kitchen supplies, water, firewood etc. needed for your meal preparations. You will, in smaller groups, be given responsibility for your own bon-fire pit.
We instruct and facilitate the group experience, have the overall plan – and timeplan, but urge you to enjoy the process trusting that what you cook over your bon-fire, is going to fit beautifully into the common meal everyone around you is preparing simultaneously.
We are around you, available to help out whenever you have questions about a recipe, the bon-fire, the groceries or the concept of Nature Connectedness.

RAW
RAW is a sensory co-creating experience of compassion for yourself and your peers through the preparation of a bon-fire meal. We cook raw meat, pick our own birds or pheasants, filet the freshly caught fish, or skin the deer ourselves. The preparation of the feast involves experiences of sensory involvement, awe, and often intense first time experiences with witnessing the whole process chain from animal to meal. Supplied by delicious fresh local organic vegetables and groceries from our fellow National Park partners. We might top it with seasonally fouraged herbs.
We bring all wild meat, groceries, kitchen supplies, water, firewood etc. needed for your meal preparations. You will, in smaller groups, be given responsibility for your own bon-fire pit.
We instruct and facilitate the group experience, have the overall plan – and timeplan, but urge you to enjoy the process trusting that how you prepare your meat, and what you cook over your bon-fire, is going to fit beautifully into the common meal everyone around you is preparing simultaneously.

LISTEN
LISTEN is a captivating storytelling experience that brings you closer to nature and human connection through the ancient art of storytelling around a bon-fire. Through our, your own or our ancestral or indigenous inspired storytelling we immerse tales of folklore, culture, history, and personal adventure. We encourage guests to share their own stories, fostering a co-creative atmosphere. By sharing and creating a sense of wonder, empathy, and community, we form compassion for both our surroundings and each other – we are more alike than we sometimes think. You can LISTEN to tales of the National Park heritage, while enjoying the warmth of the fire, the smell and sound of crackling wood, while almost in your thoughts transported to different times and places.
You are served light snacks and warm drinks during the event.
We build up a nice fire suitable for the group size, and provide reindeer hides or camping chairs for comfortable seating.
Dress weather appropriately, as evenings can be chilly when sitting still.
Our team facilitates the evening, ensuring everyone feels welcome and included. Whether you are an avid storyteller or a captivated listener, our aim is to create a seamless and enriching experience for all. We are always in the circle around the fire, or nearby to assist with any needs or questions you may have.
If you wish to join in as a storyteller please feel free to do so ad hoc. If you have any specific requirements in order to tell your story, please advise your guide staff at the beginning of the event.

DINE
DINE is our luxury dining experience in natural outdoor spaces. Our sole purpose with DINE is to redefine your concept of luxury, showing you that dining out, may as well be fine dining in the outdoors, and that fancy restaurants is a concept you create – wherever needed.
In groups you prepare, and cook a small part of the co-created gourmet meal over the bon-fire. When done, you arrange your food nicely, and prepare your presentation of it, to invite your fellow DINE chefs to enjoy your dish with delight.
We bring all groceries, kitchen supplies, water, firewood etc. needed for your meal preparations. You will, in smaller groups, be given responsibility for your own bon-fire pit.

When we DINE we co-create an outdoor restaurant; we set tables nicely, maybe even with table cloths. We care about decorations, that we spend time collecting and creating from nature materials. We eat out of beautiful porcelain and enjoy quality drinks in beautiful glasses. Camping styles goes Glamping when we DINE.

What Our Guests Say
“Visiting Naturterapeutisk Refugie was truly transformative. The peaceful surroundings and thoughtful activities allowed me to reconnect with myself and find inner peace.”
Sarah M
“The place you have here! Oh my! This was just what we needed after a stressfull week of travel and workshops – combined with long morning walks in the beech forest, we are now both back in balance. We’d love to come back – but in the meantime, come visit in California!”
Peter & Nancy
“I loved spending an intense writing retreat week with my post-doc colleagues at the Refuge so much, that I had to come back with my family! I love the flexibility you guys have created here. Thank you!”
