Join the waitlist for one of our seasonal 4-week Portals of Wonder programs, part of the Flow path in the Wonder Path framework. Over four weeks, you’ll explore the natural world, creativity, and digital tools through guided outdoor activities, reflective exercises, and collaborative projects—using your smartphone as a portal to new ways of seeing, documenting, and engaging with nature.
Portals of Wonder is designed for people who want to engage with nature and creativity in a way that feels meaningful, accessible, and gently social. Participants love the program because it offers:
A gentle way to connect — with nature, creativity, and others.
Portals of Wonder blends seasonal landscapes with simple smartphone tools to spark curiosity, reflection, and shared moments of discovery in a small, welcoming group.
Designed for people who crave depth without overwhelm.
Ideal for locals, slow travellers, and work-from-home retreat guests who want meaningful experiences, light structure, and creative exploration — without screens taking over.
Small groups, seasonal rhythm, lasting inspiration.
Each 4-week series follows the energy of the season, creating space for connection, continuity, and ideas that linger long after the program ends.
