Healing
We wish to empower and inspire individuals to embrace a regenerative lifestyle, nurturing their own well-being while contributing to the well-being of the planet
Regenerative Farm
We believe in the power of regenerative farming, where enriched soil yields the most delicious, healthy food straight from the land. A culinary journey awaits in natural harmony.
Our purpose
Modern day society is not a very healthy place. We are not naturally equipped to handle life’s fast pace, to perform under continuous pressure and the influence of its extreme information density. In these times people can be restless, stuck in their mind, feeling controlled etc. Therefore it is absolutely crucial to be mindful and work on your own mental and physical health. This retreat is a great kick start for a change of lifestyle, it gives you tools for different perspective on life.
The Facilitators
Michiel van Ogtrop
Co-founder Forci & Facilitator
Michiel is the co-founder of Forci and focuses on creating life changing experiences. He is a passionate adventurer, certified coach, breath teacher, facilitator, a father and is driven by positive energy to help you feel alive. After 9 years of entrepreneurship, up’s and down’s, he went deep within. Solo travel through Tibet and Nepal, a trail in Africa and a memorable nature trail in Italy brought about a long lasting shift in life. After a lot of “homework” he dedicates his time sharing what he has learned over the years, via trails, retreats and coaching in the surrounding of Forci. A regenerative living estate, where it all comes together with a holistic view on well-being with nature at the center of everything, focussing on a lifestyle change as medicine.
Kristofer Twofeathers
Healer
Kristofer Twofeathers, sun dancer from the Lakota tradition, was trained thanks to the numerous teachings received from the wisdom of various medicine men and women from different Native American traditions. For over 20 years he has been conducting numerous ceremonies in Italy and in Europe such as the Inipi, the sweat lodge, fasting ceremonies and various ceremonial dances. He believes that these ancient rituals should not be lost because they constitute a great source of healing, they give us the opportunity to reconnect with our true nature, with Mother Earth and with the entire universe. Ceremonies create magic and in these special moments we become aware that we are in relationship with everything that surrounds us and we return to be newborns, simple beings amazed by the beauty that is all around us.
