Do you feel like organizing a guided walk in the Sonian Forest? There are several options: new & full moon walks, edible forest walks, or walks where you learn to recognize trees.
All walks are an initiative of Anaïs Berck, represented here by the thousands of trees of the Sonian Forest and by artist, storyteller and nature guide An Mertens.
Walking when all the colours disappear from the forest is a special experience. You tune in to other senses. You discover silence, but you also notice movements and sounds that are absent during the day. Moreover, when you walk during the most intense and important moments of the lunar cycle, you can transform your intentions. That is what these walks invite you to do.
We walk in silence, interspersed with some experiments to which An invites you. Each walk takes a maximum of 2 hours. We conclude the walk with a cup of tea.
On this walk, you’ll discover all kinds of goodies found in nature, whether along a path, in a tree or by a bush. From the smallest plants to the biggest trees, there are many beings in the forest ready to share edible and drinkable parts of their body. The Sonian Forest is a protected area, so picking is out of the question. But there is all the more abundance!
During each of these walks, you’ll get to know four different trees. You’ll learn to look at their shape, bark, leaves and fruits. You’ll also discover their medicinal and spiritual powers and what they’re used for in practise. At the end of the walk, you’ll have enough tools to meet your own tree friends.
