Grounded Living: A Bushcraft Weekend for the Modern Mind

Primitive Skills, Present Mindset

Weekend Bushcraft Workshop in Drenthe

Not surviving, but living. Learn what’s essential. Let go of the rest. Remember what it means to truly be outdoors.

What This Is

This weekend isn’t about escaping the world. It’s about reconnecting and stepping into it — with your skills, your senses, and the wild clarity that comes from moving simply and intentionally in nature. Away from screens and schedules, you’ll reconnect with the parts of yourself that don’t need reminders: your hands, your breath, your instinct, your attention.

We teach classic bushcraft techniques, infused with modern awareness around self-care, minimalism, and creative expression. Not primitive — but deeply real. By learning how to make fire with your hands, find water without plastic, and read the land instead of your phone, you’re not disconnecting, you’re reconnecting — with your skills, your senses, and the wild clarity that comes when you move with purpose in a natural environment.

This isn’t survival mode. It’s presence mode. Not a break from real life — but a return to what’s real.

Modern Tools, Timeless Mindset

We’re not going back to the Stone Age. And we’re not anti-technology. We don’t hide from modern gadgets—we choose them wisely.

This isn’t about rejecting tools. It’s about learning to use the right ones. Not the kind that depend on a wall socket, but the kind that last. Durable, analogue, field-tested gear you can trust when the battery runs out.

A fire-steel instead of a lighter. A compass over an app. A solid blade, not a 15-in-1 gimmick.

We infuse traditional skills with smart, modern tools — so you can walk lighter, think clearer, and stay capable, even when the signal drops.

Technology should support awareness, not replace it.
