Forest as a space for reflection and a source of inspiration
We perceive your concern with meaningful forest pictures. You will be able to understand and reflect them thanks to your perception, our tailored questions and our explanation from a forestry point of view. With such analogies and metaphors, we create bridges between the forest pictures and your concern. We work with corresponding theories and models regarding leadership, communication and organisational development.
In the forest you can «arrive and experience yourself» in order to feel your own highest future potential. You connect with your inner self, absorb an impulse and act accordingly. This approach that I call forest dialogue is based on Otto Scharmer's theory U. Based on the procedure you will experiance a conscious forest dialogue or an unconscious forest dialogue.
The coaching in the forest always takes place at your place, so that you unconsciously take up the perceived forest pictures and experiences during subsequent visits to the forest and thus, over time, specifically address your concerns and develop further.
My book «The forest as an organisation - what we unconsciously learn from a visit to the forest» (available in German) provides you a first insight. The approach « forest dialog » continously develops further and contains distinct topics.
Why in the forest
A place of relaxation
According to Yoshifumi Miyazaki, spending time in the forest has been proven to have a soothing effect: it lowers blood pressure, decreases the pulse rate and reduces the concentration of the stress hormone cortisol.
Organisations are living systems
According to Frederic Laloux, living systems such as the forest can perceive changes and adapt to them from within.
Forest as a metaphor
According to Peter Senge, metaphors and mental images are a successful method of concentrating the subconscious on one point.
