WaldLing Digital Detox - For Families

Here on earth we live in deep solidarity with nature, she carries us with love in every moment and all its secrets. We experience holistic moments in the middle of the forest: with trees, plants, animals and mushrooms, insects and with wind, sun, moon and stars. We are in the Being -  the HERE and NOW. With forest meditation and sensitization exercises during our barefoot hike, we will approach the forest mindfully. Together with our children, we discover the forest and expand our knowledge.

 

Our digital detox is the attempt to elude from the human technology and the cities - no digital technology and computers, no mobile phone use, no networking, no internet, no phone calls, no clocks, but natural darkness and one Woody background noise, in the middle of the Märkische Schweiz nature park. This Location is only about 1 hour east of Berlin, near the spa town of Buckow.

 

Disconnect from City to reconnect to Nature - We wean ourselves from the city and build a new connection to the forest.

Mosquito nets can be installed without difficulty. The tent floor is made of wood and can be swept. We offer numerous mattresses on site, but you are also welcome to bring your own.
