A Hero’s Journey through the PhD studies

What?

During this 2 day canoe adventure you will experience an active break in nature, a sense of community, adventure spirit and time for reflection and exchange. We will have a fun time on the water, enjoy jointly cooked outdoor meals and spend day and night in nature. The time in nature slows us down, widens our perception and allows a switch of perspective. The hero’s journey metaphor will accompany us. This will help you to gain a new view on challenges that you are facing, on the essence that you learn from these and on your past, current and future callings.
