SURVIVAL IMMERSION
A full one-week Wilderness Immersion in the UNESCO protected Valle de Madriu.
The week is a mini expedition starting with its preparation online classes and home study exercises provided by a professional guide through Go Prepared protocol consisting of Introduction to the course, Emergency Response Plan, Risk management, route planning, equipment and nutrition.
During the field week, basic survival skills such as fire making, axe and knife use, shelter building and camp management are combined with personal development exercises that normally take place slightly outside of the participants comfort zone.
Meditation, sensing, observation, wildlife tracking, group dynamics and group- as well as self-care will be the fundaments of the learning journey.
By combining the hard skills necessary in the wilderness with the soft skills needed to create memorable experiences, this course offers insights and training in wilderness expedition, survival practices, wildlife observation, interpretative guiding and hospitality, while also focusing on personal development and (re)connection with nature.
