It is aimed at all these who may be dealing with (in varying forms), burnout, moral injury, and/or PTSD - especially that which was borne over from the Covid period. Using nature, mountains, woodland, wild-swimming, bushcraft/primitive skills, tracking, foraging, star gazing, natural navigation, campfire cooking, hammock sleeping, forest bathing, and many other nature driven methods - the aim is to use this all as a means of natural therapy - something that has had its effectiveness proven time and again through anecdotal and study based evidence. There is a growing percentage of personnel leaving the NHS and similar professions due to stress, depression, burnout and PTSD with a growing number of suicides throughout the UK. Our aim at DeWolf Buschraft CIC is simple - to reduce stress, help reduce chances of suicide and reduce the chances of people leaving their chosen profession. On a typical weekend, people will sleep in hammocks, cook and chat round a central campfire, learn foraging, and primitive fire lighting techniques. We will also do wild walks into the local hills/mountains, wild swimming in the tarns and lakes, use sharp tools and learn primitive techniques to make hunting tools such as Atlatls, spears, and arrows, or primitive jewellery. We will learn ancient primitive methods on community and well-being, star gazing, being as one with nature. Personal hygiene will be in the wilds and toileting will be via compost loo. Ultimately, we will have the chance to just be . . . to sit in the wilds of nature and stare at the fire – if this is all that is required to allow personal recharge. There is always the chance of follow ups and offers of repeat visits as we will never turn someone down. Secondary to the Sanctuary Project will be paid services such as Jungle Training. So far this has been to Ultra Event companies for preparation for clients and also to Mountain associations for CPD for leaders. This provides much needed funds that so far have been channelled directly back into the CIC to help the Sanctuary Project and keep costs to those who need it, to a minimum.
