Water, the essence of life, symbolizes purity, flow, and renewal. It sustains us, connects us to nature’s rhythms, and brings people together through shared experiences.
Our WATER experience range allows you to dive into the elemental power of water to refresh bonds and inspire unity during this experience and beyond. Our offers consist of experiences built around the water-element that is the pride of Danish nature.
FLOW
FLOW is a deep sensory nature experience of floating in the ocean. You get to experience being held and supported by the surrounding ocean, and can – for a while – rely on the ocean to carry some of your daily burdens. The experience of Nature Connectedness is very profound in FLOW – and you will be connecting to your surroundings on both a cognitive and embodied level.
FLOW takes place in the water. On a beach, or in the rare case, a lake bank.
You wear your own swimwear when floating. Or have the possibility of borrowing one of our wetsuits.
You support each other in pairs. And we always spend time thoroughly explaining the activity, and facilitate exercises for you to get to know each other’s preferences and relation to the water element.

WADE
WADE is an immersive oceanic adventure that invites you to experience the majesty of the sea in a unique and personal way. You get to put on wetsuits or waders and walk into the ocean, feeling the cool water embrace you as you explore the intertidal zone. This sensory wade fosters a deep connection with nature, heightening your awareness and appreciation for the marine environment by being in the midst of it. We get to experience fish, or even often small Nise dolphins, or seal if we are lucky-.
WADE is about experiencing the ocean in its raw beauty, evoking both a sense of awe and tranquility. Our team is always nearby, ready to assist with any needs or provide additional insights about the marine environment and the concept of Nature Connectedness.
Our guide staff always makes sure to know the conditions of the beach, lake or stream at the current time for the WADE event. They are all trained in water safety procedures and first aid.
You can wade in your own gear, or borrow Wetsuits or Waders.
No matter the time of year, water experiences can get cold. Make sure to bring warm and weather appropriate clothing.
WADE events take place in small groups formed to both enhance the intimacy and personalization of the adventurous experience, and to avoid disturbing the marine or mammal environment.

LET GO
LET GO is a transformative nature experience designed to help you connect with your inner self and release what no longer serves you. Through guided activities and mindful engagement with the natural environment, you will explore feelings, behavioral patterns, or memories that you wish to let go of.
Drawing on our experiences and tools as Nature Based Psychotherapists and using nature gestalts, such as creating symbolic representations of what you want to release, you will engage in a powerful process of physical and emotional release. This might involve burning your gestalt in a fire, throwing it into the water, or other symbolic acts of letting go.
LET GO offers a profound opportunity for personal and professional growth and renewal, and can be facilitated on both an individual and a collegial collective level. LET GO can be used as a corporate supervision session.
LET GO is not therapy. LET GO is an experience of connecting with your inner self, through connecting with nature around you.
We allow sufficient time, and facilitate respectful space holding for your needed processes.
Our guide staff provide blankets, snacks and create a calm environment aroun the group.
Should a need for a therapeutic talk arise, you are in a safe place with skilled professionals to handle whatever situations or needs may occur.

BLADE
BLADE is an invigorating paddling adventure that allows you to connect deeply with nature as you glide across the water surface in a kayak or canoe.
BLADE is about experiencing the closeness to water, more than about the distance or experience of overcoming an element. Feeling the rhythm of your paddle blade slicing through the water is a meditative experience once you get the hang of it, and the sensation of being one with the water element you paddle awakens an experience of connectedness with the element and surround nature that is truly special.
We offer BLADE in suitable weather conditions ensuring great experiences for all. Our guide staff are certified instructors and outdoor recreation professionals, ready to help you get going and ensure your safety during the experience.
We provide all necessary equipment, including kayaks, canoes, paddles, and safety gear.
In case of larger groups, participants are divided into smaller groups paired up with their own instructor to ensure both experience and safety on the water.
BLADE is designed to be a flexible and enriching experience for all, encouraging you to embrace the process of paddling and discover the joy of this way of experiencing nature at your own pace.

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!”
