On January 27 2017, Vivienne (VivU Buntu) organised INTO YOUR NATURE. The purpose of this event in the beautiful surroundings of 's-Graveland was to inspire by the wisdom of the Earth Keepers in DOWN to EARTH, have a dialogue on its impact with Rolf Winters, get acquainted with the global goals for sustainable development and connect to nature and other fellow human beings.

2016 has been a challenging year in a lot of ways and has tested our ideas of the shape of the world. This has caused many people to take greater responsibility in contributing to take care of our world, whether being it from a personal or business perspective. Many people are looking for places where they can be inspired to bring out the best in themselves while at the same time connecting with like-minded others. Across different worlds (corporates, freelancers, start-ups, GO’s, NGO’s and human beings everywhere) I hear and sense this longing, and with my own purpose of ‘serving the world and humanity by connecting’ I loved to facilitate an answer to this longing this with INTO YOUR NATURE. I believe that the more people become conscious about the importance of connecting to their own nature, the more we can make a difference in taking care of the world and each other. 

After the film and dialogue we went outside for a reflective walk in the beautiful surroundings, with nature providing the perfect opportunity to connect with the other participants as well. Following lunch the participants had the option to choose from three workshops: Qi Gong, a guided walk with a ranger, fishing with a local, or a transformational breathing session.

With a lot of gratitude I look back on a very special and inspiring day with a group of 70 beautiful human beings. I want to thank all the Earth Keepers present for their open minds and hearts and for connecting.
