A family in the wilderness

I, Alexandros Sun Eagle, am a wilderness guide and traveller. In 2011, I decided to successfully end my studies to fulfill my dream. . by living for one year in the northern woods of the U S A, as participant in a guided wilderness program. We were 25 adults and 17 children, coming together to live as a clan, following the traditions of the aboriginal people. During this time, I found out a lot about myself and experienced old ways as new for me. We lived together for almost one year without technology or the influence of civilisation. What the Family Year was all about: - NATURE: Stepping back from romantic fantasies about living in Nature and facing the challenging and beautiful reality of it - COMMUNITY: Practicing new methods of communication and finding tools for creating a peaceful and healing togetherness - CHILDREN: Accompanying our children in a natural way - ADVENTURE: Having experiences that I had only known about from movies or books! - SELF-AWARENESS: Sharing all the thoughts, ups and downs and feelings I had during the Family Year
