Spending time with nature is an enjoyable experience in itself; And to establish a true and deep connection with nature requires learning and seeking through ancient practices and rituals, meditation, survival skills and handicraft.
Establish a deep connection with Nature; cultivate a stronger sense of belonging and a pathway to self- awareness.
Rooted in the earth, return to our home to unearth and nurture our inner abundance and strength.
Programme:
The journey begins with an introduction to SOW Nature Education, then an understanding of life in the indigenous communities of Long Lellang and Long Main, the Kelabit and Penan cultures, ways of living, primitive craft, food and survival knowledge.
We will next dive further deep into our human-being experience, a retreat with dynamic meditation and ceremonies.
Through these simple practices and experiences, let us step beyond the doorway into the awakening within, rejoice in silence, peace, creativity and connection to self, nature and others.
Activity highlights: # Jungle trekking, long boat journeys, river hiking # Kelabit village experience # Experience “the sons of tropical rainforest”, Penans’ way of life + making & playing indigenous musical instruments # Guided personal meditation in primary rainforest # Connect with nature through meditation & self-awareness exercise # Nature observation & night walks in different types of rainforests

靠近與享受大自然，是非常美好的自然體驗； 真正建立與自然的深入連結 ~ 更需要喚醒古老的文化、儀式與靜心、生存技能與手作；
搭建心與自然的橋梁，建立更深、更貼近自己與自然的洞見和觉知； 扎根于大地，回到我們的家園，發現與體會内在的豐盛與富裕。
讓我們通過這一趟回家的旅程，從認識雨林學校開始，深入瞭解隆拉浪村以及隆馬因村歷史、發展與演變；續而結識葛拉畢及本南原住民文化與生活、其傳統食物、音樂等。
之後轉道往内進行靜心冥想與儀式。讓我們通過這古老而簡單的學習與實踐，循序而漸進地提高自我觉知、覺察，開啓回歸大自然的心門，尋獲内在的安詳，平和與知足；建立自己與自己、自己與自然、自己與他人的連結。
活動特色： ~ 小組活動，最多十人 ~ 導師引導下，在原始熱帶雨林進行個人靜坐 ~ 通過靜心冥想和覺知課，尋求人與自然的連接 ~ 於不同類型的原始熱帶雨林進行自然觀察和夜間觀察 ~ 森林徒步 + 長舟川行河道 ~ 體驗葛拉畢族村落生活文化 ~ 體驗有“熱帶雨林之子”之稱的原住民本南族的生活 + 樂器製作與彈奏體驗
