Four winds
Training Course
30 May - 4 June 2020 | Litija, Slovenia
For whom?
The training is open to participants around the world, who would like to:
Explore and nurture their deep connection with themselves and everything that surrounds them,
Get to know various nature-based approaches to support the personal and group processes,
Learn about the Four winds methodology and symbolism,
Participate in an embodied and experiential methodology process,
Share their story and experience.
Programme
Through a 5 day training we will be experimenting with the four levels and their symbolism (water, earth, fire, air; spiritual, physical, cognitive, emotional; winter, autumn, spring, summer; …). We will be connecting with each of the four levels through different channels/methods - music, dance, theatre, gardening, nonviolent communication, medicine walks, …. The process and reflection will be supported by the coaching and art of hosting methodologies. The main aim is to build connection and appreciation with everything around us, learn to live together and then, with the support of a forest medicine walk, seek guidance in nature for a future which can support us in carrying the burden for a better tomorrow, for everyone. We will cocreate the training with guest trainers, who are experts in different methodologies (embodied dance, nonviolent communication, theatre…).
The story behind this training
The Four winds project represents the combination of experiential, non-formal, embodied, peer-to-peer trainings in the natural environment, which is a result of 5-years of work, experimenting with various nature-based approaches; and creation of cards with diverse activities.
(the participants will receive a set of cards on the training).
In the next days, we will share a link to the blog post, which tells the story behind more in depth.
The project is funded by the European Union and Bridge 47 network (https://www.bridge47.org/).

Association Lojtra (Youth NGO)
Established in 2014, “NGO Lojtra” is a young and devoted youth organization.
The association mainly covers topics of non-formal education, community building, street education/animation, outdoor education, global learning and youth work. These topics are addressed through various activities on the local and international level.
The main activities are mentorship to young people, capacity-building projects for youth and youth workers, community based projects (community garden etc.) and experimentation with trainings in nature.
We believe in the non-formal educational approaches such as experiential learning and participatory learning. Regular reflections and evaluations, which assure the learning processes, are supported by young youth leaders and trainers willing to improve their competences.
