April Walk: Life Force
Experience communion with nature through guided practices that bridge traditional wisdom and contemporary understanding of our bodies and minds.
Trees, plants, and the changing seasons offer knowledge that can inform and inspire us — but accessing this wisdom asks for a different pace and presence.
Berlin Breath Walks offer a way to reconnect with nature through sensory awareness, expanded perception, and shared experience.
April theme: life is waking up and moving forward—growth, fertility, and the momentum of renewal. Let's sense into that and join the movement.
Join us to walk, sense, play, and co-create through this carefully designed experience. Celebrating warmth, joy, and a sense of aliveness.

We take different paths: accessible and occasionally more adventurous, move slowly with frequent pauses for practice and observation.

About the walks and facilitator
Hi, I’m Yulia, your host.
One day, as I had exhausted my repertoire of wellness and mental health practices (and believe me, it is quite rich), and no light could penetrate my inner darkness, I was offered a lifeline: a sense of being nature. Being held, loved, and accepted just as I am—by the trees, the flowers, the sky and the moon, the birds.
That day opened up a universe that had been under my nose all along, yet never fully penetrating my skin. As it did, it felt as if a void had been filled. A source of energy, meaning, and inspiration sprang up.
A year later, I founded Nature Flow Lab, where I design and facilitate nature-centered formats for teams, organizations, and public groups supporting connection, creative thinking, decision-making in complex or high-demand environments.
In my work, I explore what I call collective worldmaking: facilitating experiences that bring interconnectedness into awareness, invite a felt sense of agency in the more-than-human world, and allow learning directly from living systems, with Nature as an active partner. Much of this takes place outdoors, often through guided nature walks that work with movement, breath, sensing, and the specific qualities of a place.
My background is a mix of corporate life in Silicon Valley, environmental activism with Greenpeace, founder experience, and training in facilitation, coaching, and wilderness guiding. Nature Flow Lab brings these threads together as an expression of how I understand change: experiential, relational, and rooted in direct contact with the living world rather than abstract ideas alone.
How I work
I offer nature-centered experiences offline and online, including:
Team walks and outdoor formats for organizations and institutions
Public nature walks in and around Berlin
Online sessions supporting creativity, innovation and collective sensemaking
