It’s hard to put into the words the richness, quality of experience or sense of togetherness that comes forth at FreeSpirit camp. We feel the community experience is such an important part of what makes us feel alive and fulfilled as human beings, and without it, we are often missing something.

Increasingly we experience our lives as stressful, disconnected from nature, isolating, competitive and even in some cases lacking in meaning. Many of us have a deep yearning for contact, support, community, harmony with nature and the simple pleasure of friendship. When all this and much more is found in the camp environment a very profound transformation can occur. It is not just that we relax and 'chill out', it often feels as if a new (or perhaps an older) way of being is experienced.

When we feel connected and seen, loved and appreciated, involved and included, supported and nurtured, we experience a deeper connection to ourselves and a remembering of who we are. We are social creatures wired for connection and often feel most alive when we are both deeply rooted in ourselves and feeling held within community.

There is profound healing that comes from this camp and how we approach the community experience. It can be heart-opening, soul-nurturing, wisdom-revealing or simply a great way to meet new people and feel a part of something that is positive and good for all involved. People tend to relax, open up and connect in ways that can seem rare in today's society.

We have a great deal of experience running these camps. They are a perfect balance of organisation and free-flowing spontaneity. We bring people together in a very real & accessible way. You will feel welcomed and encouraged to be part of the community from the moment you arrive, to both bring yourself forth and relax into the support and hold of a co-creative community vibe.

Perhaps with only the thin material of a tent or a van between one person and the next, and between ourselves and the earth, we realise the values of simplicity and togetherness. The closeness between people seems to develop very quickly. It is not easy to hide or be superficially pleasant in this environment, so many people say they feel more real, more themselves, and more able to take risks. With so many new friendships easily emerging.

FreeSpiirt camp gives all kinds of ideas about how things could be different in how we choose to live our lives. How we can take care of ourselves, be more community oriented and come back to our connection with the earth and how we care for the environment that we live in.

The camps, at their best, offer a space for all of us to feel safe to push our edges and boundaries, and to become more than who we thought we were, to discover aspects of ourselves that we didn't know about. They also offer a great learning space for kids.
