Reboot and Rise

Reboot and Rise Workshop 2024

The first project weekend form Reboot and Rise was very intence and a good experience for us and the people which joyned.

Here are some impressions from the participants.

"The Reboot and Rise-weekend for me was a very welcome oasis within a stormy world, a healing place to take a step back, breathe, reboot and rise."

"The weekend contains a thoughtful programme following the steps of active hope - with sharing, meditation, information and activities. Combined with free time, games and good food, surrounded by nature, it indeed was a place for peace and regeneration. Thanks to Pieter, Carmen en Maaike for the pleasant, safe and inspiring environment that you created for us."

To be continued...

There will be two workshops in 2025.
One workshop will take place in Spring and the other in August. As soon as we know more, we will post the exact dates here.

What to expect?

The program

Reboot and Rise is a workshop w about finding hope and resilience in the midst of the climate crisis. Facing the reality of this crisis makes us feel worried, anxious or even desperate. It is a normal human reaction when you care about this world, when you care about life. This week we will relax and reboot ourselves, and we want to rise up with new hope and resilience.

In this week you will find your own way to deal with your feelings of climate anxiety and to become empowered and active in your own way without burning out.

This program is made for you if you suffer from climate fear and climate anxiety, you are interested in topics of inner work, you want to become more sustainable, you like some fun outdoor activities in a nice group.

The program is a mix of: accepting your climate anxiety, dealing with feelings of helplessness and powerlessness, understanding things that block you, finding your own vision that motivates you and discovering the power of community. It will also be a week of relaxation, wonder, finding peace, creativity and connection. Together we want to create a safe space were everybody feels welcomed and free to speaks about emotions. That is the basis for becoming a group. (racism, sexism and any other form of discrimination are not welcome) You will learn what blocking people to become active, we gone work with coaching tools, and different techniques of mindfulness. We also talk about Self Care in activism. During the project we want to enjoy the nature together. You can looking forward to an week with nice activites as, campfire, hiking, wildpicking. Next to this active activities we are offering calming activities as meditations, wildbading

Our Team

Maaike Graafland

Leave the roads, take the trails. That’s Maaike; always seeking for adventure when hiking through the mountains with family or friends. But never without a map, because for her some control is required. Maaike is theologian, teacher in religion/worldview and self-employed wedding planner. With an open mind she seeks the value of religion in our world. For her master thesis she travelled to Lebanon to find out what religion means in the life of refugees. Her sense for what really matters also becomes visible in her passion for love. Love for our planet, for all life on earth, and also love in a romantic way. Organizing weddings is really her thing and with her creativity and organizing skills, she makes every wedding just perfect. Maaike in two words: diligent and passionate.

Pieter van der Toorn

There are people who always come up with good, wild ideas. Such a person is Pieter. And he does not only have ideas, but also makes it work. He has hitchhiked more in his life than anyone else (i.a. the country Iran), explored Europe by motorbike, and loves to wonder around in the forest wherever his feet or the sun will lead him. In his love for the earth and everything that lives on it, he sold his motorbike and is using his talent in the climate movement. Currently he is working as a spiritual caregiver for homeless people where he uses his talent for asking good questions. He has the art of not thinking in boxes but of being open to all kinds of people and making them feel at home. Pieter in two words: adventurous and hopeful.

Carmen Aichelin

No mountain too high for Carmen who loves doing climbing with friends. In a blink of an eye she’s on top of the wall. Carmen is educated as teacher in i.a. psychology, worked in the psychiatry and has her profession now as systematic coach. It is her passion to explore and help others to grow, get connected with each other and with nature. For herself she finds this connection in Tai Chi: peaceful and gentle. The happiest is she when she can ride her bike on a warm summer day in her hometown Freiburg. Winters are not her favourite, but she is brave enough to take a cold ice-bath in the lake; enjoying nature in the most vibrant way. Carmen in two words: emphatic and powerful.
