The Fire Within: A Forest Retreat

May 23rd - May 25th, 2026• Finowfurt, Brandenburg

Three days in the forest.
Time to slow down. Time to feel.​

Firelight. Birdsong. Earth beneath our feet.

Fresh air and spring energy. Movement, stillness, connection.

We step out of everyday life and into something simpler.

Something honest.

We listen to the body. To that which feels alive.

To that which is ready to change.

​Some moments are quiet. Some are full of energy.

Some are bravely simple.

We encounter the landscape.
We gather around the fire.
We move, rest, share, breathe.
We cook and eat together.

Little by little,
things begin to open up.

Vitality returns.
Clarity emerges.
What wants to change
becomes visible.

Nature is a companion and a mirror.
The group provides space for authenticity.

This retreat is not about
becoming someone else,
but about getting closer to the fire within us.

Meet your guide

Hi. I’m Olivia and I’m looking forward already to accompany you and the group on this very special journey. I’m a systemic nature therapist.

My vision is to help you to connect with your inner and outer nature. There is so much to discover out there – especially about ourselves.

I’m aiming to support and guide you through your discoveries based on your own personal perspective.

  • "Olivia lead us through a beautiful journey, talking us through our insecurities, emotions and personal discoveries with her fully present warmth soul and knowledge. Combining a sharp nature therapy and freeing dances turned this weekend into a truly empowering and reinvigorating experience. I can only recommend you to join one of Kailo Nature Therapy activities and experience it for yourself."

    Leonore

  • "Initially I joined Olivia's forest retreat to slow down, get closer to nature, and learn more about it. What I didn't expect was how emotional the forest experience would become. Olivia creates so much space to grow beyond yourself and feel safe — and there were wonderful people there."

    Sophia

  • "Yesterday a good friend asked about the retreat, and as I told her in detail, I realized again how many intense and good impressions I took with me from those three days. Heartfelt thanks — you gave me/us such a caring and good container, and I'll draw from it for a long time!"

    Kristina

  • "Thank you, Olivia, for creating and holding space for slowing down to that part of me that had been buried in day-to-day fear, grieve, loss, rage, quick-joys… I’m coming back out of the woods bringing home with me another part of my reclaimed self…"
