Abstract

Nature is calling and currently many people are listening to her call. Wilderness educators guide people in returning to their true home in nature. Building on the knowledge of indigenous people, wilderness educators are able to provide strong and various connections to nature. These connections are facilitated on different levels: on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual; and that simultaneously. Participants of seminars and programs explore not only the animal and plant world using the approaches from these levels but also their own human being. Wilderness educators take into account the full range of human talents and that’s why they can design learning journeys that are more effective than the study in academic ways we moderns are accustomed to. Henceforth our friendship with nature finds emerging spaces of experience. Reflecting on that naturally brings about a sustainable world view.
