A Taste of Experience Week from Selena Lucas
“I know that each of us came away feeling like we have an extended family.”
We are planning to hold our core programme Experience Week in 2025 on the beautiful Isle of Erraid on the west coast of Scotland. For all of you who haven’t done Experience Week yet and for all of you who are interested in finding out what it is all about, we would like to give you a taste of what Experience Week can feel like in a short video from one of our participants, Selena Lucas.
Selena joined Experience Week in September 2023. In the video she shares about the different flavours of this week and describes it as an “incredible experience at the highest level” as she appreciates the balance between group time and time for contemplation, the way the week was facilitated, the interactions in nature, the time for deep sharings, and playfulness. Her most precious experiences were the mutual support and the feelings of deep connection within the group, which made her feel as though she had found an “extended family”.
“The sharing was extremely poignant, very deep and very honest and all of it was held in such beautiful confidence, caring and support that I know that each of us came away feeling like we have an extended family here amongst the group of us.
Nothing could compare with the closeness and the experience of being here where there is so much history of cooperation and love and working with nature and with each other. And I highly recommend it to anybody that wants an experience of closeness and of understanding of what more we can do for nature.”
