I’m Natasha, also known by my Buddhist name Nagadipa which means light in the depths - this name was given to me ten years ago, as a mirror of my essence and as a life teaching.

My approach is grounded and embodied, emphasising the slow and steady way. It is easy to take a workshop, learn some vocabulary and use it - it is another thing altogether to practice, and to put the learning into many experiences in many contexts. To this end I prioritise experiential understanding, which includes learning to listen to our bodies and learning to live the practices. We are saturated with information about the world - I support you to find your own wisdom through your direct experience.

All of this is in service to the aliveness of everything – our inherent animacy – which is also a doorway to the imaginal and our unfolding mythic journeys.

Werner Pilz is an experienced Vision Quest guide and Wilderness Facilitator with more than twenty years experience as a lead guide. He started his spiritual journey 30 years ago at the Buddhist Naropa Institute in Colorado later training with the SOLB in the US.

He has been guiding Vision Quests for over twelve years and facilitates guide training programmes at the Eschwege Institute. He’s also on the board of The German-Speaking Wilderness Guides Network.

His current passions are guiding sacred soul-journeys for men and mentoring young adults. His work is informed by Rites of Passage, The Four Shields, Council, Focusing, IOPT, Music and the Art of the Trickster. He is a very proud father of two blossoming 29 year-old women.

I originally trained-in wilderness rites of passage work some twenty five years ago. My official training in the U.K. was in the system taught by the School of Lost Borders, however I also learned (and continue to learn) alongside various teachers and contemporaries from differing traditions. 

For stages of my life (ongoing) a radically disabling genetic condition and associated compound-crises has forced ordeals of survival, questioning and reorientation. I lived through several years unable to walk, and far longer than this incarcerated by the limitations of the condition. Some apprenticeships are institutionally sanctioned, and some happen through all manner of life experiences that are far less visible or recognised.

All the above and more, have helped temper my appreciation for the archetypal underworld and the lessons it can reveal, the value of different states of being, the potency of nature based initiatory work, the font of creativity and mysticism, and the sheer glory of every messy, unfinished human being at their honest core.

I also have a degree in Natural Sciences (Ecology) from the University of Cambridge, taught earth education from a young age, traveled and worked in various capacities including in Honduras, Southern Africa, and Outer Mongolia, co-guided short courses at Schumacher College, and more recently have illustrated a children's book called Little Fish.

The archetypes of the magician, mediator and wounded healer sit very closely at Ulrich's heart, with the green man currently joining the band.

As does the question, what does mature masculinity look like in 2026, and the work of co-creative communal explorations around Sacred Masculinity and Men’s Spirituality.

He has also published two books on Buddhist-informed conflict work both with a twist towards embodied mindfulness in communication and conflict. Available on Amazon.

I´m dedicated to inspire and facilitate healing and compassion, and I´m therefore excited to co-guide with Natasha on journeys towards authentic connection in both inner and outer landscapes.

A “strange” longing led me on a journey including Yoga, Meditation, Dancing, Buddhism and Shamanism. Every chance I get you will find me in the forest – with leaves in my hair and dirt on my cheek. It never fails to amaze me the magic that happens when we take our practice outdoors. The natural world has such wisdom – simple, raw, wild, unpredictable and beautiful. Here anyone willing to listen will get just the answer they need – to bring back home, to digest and to grow.

My journey so far has helped me reclaim and integrate my wildness, and to listen and be true to my longing for an authentic, natural and passionate life.

I’m Geeta and I am a human being on a journey to remembering my sense of belonging to this earth. The path that has been offered to me by the meaning of my name is that of embodying a love song. Through my own journey of growth and transformation over the past 25 years I have gathered tools that include nature connection practices, forest therapy, awareness through movement practices, experiential anatomy, deep listening, meditation and breathwork.

I bring with me a sincere intention of sharing and learning with fellow humans, the embodied resources that have supported my understanding and deepening of what it means to be alive and connected to this beautiful place we call home. Home in the body, home on the earth.
