Read This If You Want To Know If Its For You
For whom is the Spirit of the Hero?
A Spirit of the Hero camp is for you, if you are a seeker... if you know that there is more to your life than working and spending time in front of your devices! It is for you, if you want to experience yourself and life deeper. This is it. That's enough to join.
But besides that, the Spirit of the Hero is for people who love breathing, laughing, movement, holistic living, campfires under the stars, the forests, the oceans and nature itself. It is for everyone who is stressed, overworked and just needs a big time out. You don't need any foreknowledge and don't need to be fit at all. Nevertheless, the camps are also popular amongst martial artists, yogis and sportsmen who want to understand themselves on a deeper level.
In short… it is for all the heroes out there, who long to get out of their status quo and into the extraordinary world! :-)
So, for whom is it not?
People who are not open to different modalities, traditions and new approaches. And people who only want either meditation or a physical bootcamp. We believe that human beings need both aspects and that we have to bring them in harmony and train them together to develop our potential. Don't avoid your inner side! And don't reject kicking your own ass! :-)
How fit do I need to be?
It is very important to us that everyone can join the camp! We have a wide mix of participants at all imaginable fitness and experience levels. If you haven't moved for years and never saw a meditation cushion in your life or you are a professional athlete, either way you will find your challenge and your individual path of growth at the camp.
What modalities, sports & techniques will I experience?
The camp's training process will include parts or a blend of many different modalities. Among them are Meditation, Qi Gong, Yoga, Animal Styles Movement, Martial Arts, Taiji, Shamanic Journeying, 5 Elements Analysis, traditional Archery, Mori Gari (forest fighting challenge), Self-reflection training, Nutrition workshops, and many more...
What is the camp's language?
The training will be given in English and the group will communicate in English. Don't worry if your English is only basic - communication is not an issue once you are there and experience the group. Additionally, we will also be able to translate into German, and to a limited extent, to French & Japanese.
Where exactly is it?
Each camp takes place in a unique, selected location. We only choose places that we love, that have a special magic and that offer everything a Spirit of the Hero Camp needs - nature, great healthy food, energetic places, and that sense of adventure.
