MAN.OF.NATURE

As an experienced wilderness educator, Alfred Silbergasser sees it as his task to help people rediscover the beauty and meaning of nature. The main objective of wilderness education is to make nature accessible to people. This includes re-establishing a mindful attitude towards the natural world by making it more easily comprehensible, as well as fostering an understanding of the coherences within nature. This helps people to reconnect with nature. The path to this understanding leads along real-life paths: they who walk, understand.

Rediscover nature

Setting off on a hike with Alfred Silbergasser means studying and hearing stories about the natural environment, tracing animal tracks and learning to identify animal noises as well as plants and trees. Once we discover that the inconspicuous little weed growing on the grass verge is a highly effective medicinal herb, that the tree we usually pass by without a second thought has hundreds of years under its belt, and that the clouds in the sky allow us to draw conclusions about the weather, we realise how much we don’t know.

Back to nature
back to me

It is with this concept in mind that Alfred Silbergasser takes you into his home, into nature. He invites you to recharge in centuries-old spiritual power spots, helps you destress through nature meditation, guides you on herb walks and tells tales of nature. Alfred Silbergasser invites you on a journey to discover your innermost being.

Locating spiritual power spots
This workshop lays the foundation for introducing the concept of spiritual power spots.

There are external and internal places of spiritual power. Both are equally accessible, when you know how. Under the expert guidance of Alfred Silbergasser, you will learn how to locate, recognise and utilise them. By the end of the workshop you will experience and sense your own areas of transcendent power. Places are limited.

  • Day 2: 9am – 12pm and 2pm – 6pm

    Alfred Silbergasser takes you on a hike to spiritual power spots and on a journey within yourself.

    This full-day hike leads to one of the Gastein Valley’s most historic sites: the old pass road, nicknamed the Three Pilgrims by locals owing to the legends and tales associated with it and the energy fields that can be experienced there.

    Immerse yourself in a world steeped in nature and magic. Then enjoy refreshments nearby on the Kögerlalm.

    You can choose from the following themes:

  • Inner power spot – locate your inner spiritual power and experience harmony, peace and tranquillity. This theme is well suited to anyone who needs to destress.
  • Power animal – from a shamanic perspective, everyone has a power animal (for example an eagle, a stag, a bear...). Knowing your power animal encourages development and gives power, strength, courage, confidence and much more.
  • Inner female – everyone has both a feminine and a masculine side, and they often need to be brought into harmony. This meditation session establishes contact with the inner female, touching on the feminine attributes (intuition, devotion, empathy, love etc).
  • Inner male – everyone has both a masculine and a feminine side, and they often need to be brought into harmony. This meditation session addresses the masculine side which contains attributes such as strength, determination, a thirst for adventure etc.
