Active Nature Retreat at Hornsjø, October 22nd to 25th, 2017

As a follow-up to our Wisdom Together Conference “Consciousness in Business”, taking place in Oslo from October 20th to October 21st, 2017, we invite you to spend 4 days and 3 nights with us in the beautiful nature reserve of the Øyer mountain, just a couple of hours north of Oslo. Here, you will find yourself at the One World Institute. Founded in the 1970’s, the Institute, today also functioning as a high mountains hotel, has offered educational programs focused on the societal questions of the contemporary world, i.e. social and economic conditions in the developing countries and in Europe, people’s living conditions, and expectations towards the future development of our world.

A Retreat at the One World Institute will allow you to further reflect on the conference, while experiencing the incredible silence surrounding Hornsjø, the beauty of Norwegian nature and the special feeling of being in a land where in the fall, the days shorten day by day, allowing you to witness incredible sunrises and sunsets, and where at night, you just might see the Northern Lights.

What a better place to truly connect to yourself, to nature and to the beauty of the world all around you?

Notes

The Retreat is arranged by Wisdom Together in Partnership with DMC Authenticore. Authenticore, founded by Karina Fuerst over 20 years ago, believes that, as more and more people are seeking to move away from a material lifestyle in search for deeper values and meaning, there is a need to provide meaningful travel experiences, inspiring and benefitting both the local populations and visitors. Authenticore offers all kinds of travel experiences in Norway, bringing visitors to get to know people who live their dreams and make choices in order to create a lifestyle they love and stand for. In other words, “Ildsjel” or “Fire souls”, as they are called in Norwegian. For more information about Authenticore, please see: http://www.authenticore.no/
