Wilderness empowerment Personal development through nature experience. Youth exchange survival camp in Sweden
I am the one. I am the one that can walk alone. I am the one that finds my way. I am the one that face my fear. I am the one that walks through darkness. I am the one that finds the light. I am the one that makes the fire. I am the one that builds the shelter. I am the one that finds the food. I am the one that survives. I am the one that grows stronger every day.

Worst case scenario – a workshop in “personal” crisis management
What if we are not able to do the transition into a sustainable 10 billion people planet? What if things go to the worse – fast.
Are we prepared? Are you prepared?
Financial crisis?
Energy crisis?
Major weather disruptions?
Ecosystem failures?
Food production failure?
…or just an economy in long recession and a state not fully delivering security and welfare.
