NEED FOR NATURE NATIONAL PARK EXPERIENCES – deepen your nature connectedness with us
NEED FOR NATURE NATIONAL PARK EXPERIENCES offers deep, sensory, transformative, and nature-connected experiences in national park landscapes, grounded in Nature Connectedness research and evidence on the importance and effects of cultivating the human–nature relationship – and the consequences of not doing so.
National Park partner
As a partner with, among others, National Park Skjoldungernes Land, NEED FOR NATURE NATIONAL PARK EXPERIENCES has in-depth knowledge of the area’s nature and cultural heritage, as well as a broad network of collaborators. This ensures that we can always combine our experience products with local produce, authentic locations, and uniquely facilitated nature experiences.
The team behind National Park Experiences also acts as advisors to a range of local, national, and international actors within the experience economy and is therefore your leading experience expert and MICE partner – regardless of your nature experience needs. We always tailor your experience, and everything from content to budget is agreed individually for each experience. Our experiences take place both at specific, unique locations and, if desired, we are happy to come to you.
Built on research evidence on the human–nature relationship
NEED FOR NATURE NATIONAL PARK EXPERIENCES was founded by Nature Connectedness researcher and experience designer Tanya Uhnger Wünsche and offers a truly unique portfolio of deep, sensory, transformative nature connectedness experiences. These are designed according to specific evidence-based principles for facilitating emotional and sensory relationships with the natural world around us.
All of our guides are trained and certified in outdoor and nature interpretation, nature therapy, or nature and cultural communication, and are also nature connectedness facilitators specialized in supporting and evoking the experience of being part of something greater than ourselves.
When special equipment is required, this is provided for all guests. Guests are informed in advance about appropriate clothing for the weather. A National Park Experience is an experience of being taken care of and gently guided into deep encounters with nature, allowing you to lean into nature to find resonance, rhythm, and calm.
Inspired by the elements
We mirror nature’s cycles and rhythms and are never closed; we do not operate with seasons. Instead, we ensure that all experience products in the NEED FOR NATURE NATIONAL PARK EXPERIENCES portfolio reflect the nature around us, year-round. Our nature-connectedness experiences are inspired by the elements of fire, water, earth, and air, and also embrace specific phenomena such as the magical light of an early spring morning on a DAWN walk in April, or the deep, meditative winter darkness on a GOODNIGHT silent walk on a cold, raw November evening.
Tailored for you
Research shows that nature connectedness is the feeling and mindset humans need to cultivate to ensure both personal health and well-being and a sustainable future for nature and the environment around us. This applies at both individual and professional levels.
Therefore, we offer nature connectedness experiences that create depth and provide meaningful breaks for the area’s course and conference audiences, as well as experience products in the form of announced pop-up events and on-demand nature-connectedness experiences for Danish and international guests. Our experience portfolio includes both add-on and stand-alone experiences, where we actively connect the nature-connectedness experience to the theme of courses, conferences, or current festivals and events for nature-interested audiences – where you will always meet us ready to deliver a unique nature connectedness experience.
