Circles
The practice of Wild Circles is one of the main ingredients of our group experiences, offering a profound way to connect deeply with others. It's a way to create emotional safe spaces that fosters deep tribal healing and transformation. Our approach to circling is not new but draws significant inspiration from the heart circle models developped by "We-powered" and "Heart IQ," infused with the guidance and richness of Mother Nature.

Wild Team
Jerry Mattox
Jerry is a facilitator with a unique approach developed in part through his own personal pilgrimage and undying fascination with the intricacies of the human experience. As an instructor with the Breathwork Masterclass, Jerry offers bodywork and a keen awareness of how the breath and nervous system contribute to personal transformation.
A dedicated space holder- Jerry ensures a sacred container for exploration, while his incorporation of somatically informed shadow work invites profound self-discovery and healing. With an “apologetically weird” sense of humor, Jerry likes to titrate the deep work with moments of laughter. Jerry brings psychological, philosophical and mythic models of understanding to bear on the questions of how to live a conscious life and is well versed in the archetypes and stages of personal transformative process.
Ruben Carpentier
Hello, I'm Ruben, and my life has been intertwined with the wonders of nature for as long as I can remember. My journey began as an avid outdoor and rock climbing enthusiast, which eventually led me to pursue a career as a professional rock climbing guide in my young adult years.
As I immersed myself in nature, I discovered a deeper fascination not only with the external natural world but also with the rich inner nature of human beings and thus my own inner parts. Influenced by Zen and other "light inspired" philosophies, I transitioned into facilitating outdoor experiences, embracing a path of self-discovery and mindful exploration and combining this with outdoor activities.
This personal journey confronted me with hidden aspects of myself, revealing the transformative magic hidden within my shadows. Today, still dedicated to my own self-discovery, I feel a profound calling to share my experiences and guide others on their journey towards their own authentic heart, while very often finding guidance myself thanks to these connections.
In my professional capacity, I undertake a multifaceted role:
-
Functioning as a nature-inspired life and intimacy coach, I employ somatic-emotional intelligence to guide both individuals and groups on journeys towards inner authenticity, fostering genuine connections of the heart.
-
Presently pursuing training as a psychosomatic therapist, I am duly licensed as an autogenic superior training practitioner and a psycho-spiritual therapist (ETPS Swiss), facilitating transformative processes geared towards inner realness and genuine connection.
-
Holding certification as a "we-powered" heart circle facilitator, I orchestrate spaces conducive to authentic interaction, nurturing sincere bonds among participants.
-
As an outdoor facilitator and Swiss rock climbing guide, I advocate for a mindful approach to wilderness exploration, channeling nature's innate wisdom to deepen personal and collective experiences.
-
Additionally, I serve as an educator for children and adolescents from fractured family backgrounds, providing support and mentorship to foster resilience and personal growth. Through these endeavors, my overarching aim remains the accompaniment of individuals and groups towards the realms of inner authenticity and heartfelt connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
The retreat is open to all individuals seeking deeper personal discovery; no specific prerequisites are needed.
Due to the unique nature of the retreat, an intake video call with one of the facilitators is necessary. This call is not for "approving" participants but to ensure transparency about the retreat's content and to allow both parties to determine if they are fully aligned with participating.
While experience with circle work and/or breathwork is always a nice extra, it is not required.
During this retreat, all food, drinks, and snacks will be fully vegan with vegetarian options. This means we will serve standard lactose-free food, with options like eggs and cheese available for those who want them.
If necessary, our catering team can easily provide alternatives for other intolerances, such as gluten-free, soy-free, or nightshade-free dishes.
If you require any of these options, please reach out to us by email.

We strongly recommend participating in a "heart-opening retreat" like this one with your partner, as we believe it's the perfect way to solidify the foundations of your relationship.
However, we want to inform all participants that joining with your partner can come with extra challenges. There's a good possibility that both your personal discoveries and your relationship dynamics will come into play, which can create intense yet rich experiences.
A helpful tip is to ensure that both partners are a "full yes" to participating.
