Wild Asturias Leadership Program
Ponga Natural Park
Dates 27 March - 2 April 2026
Booking via Presence Outdoor
Wild Asturias is a leadership program in the European wilderness. A return to what is real. Walking in the footsteps of the wolf, we remember who we are.
Back to the Root
This week is devoted to the Old Way. We awaken our senses as they were shaped over thousands of years of human evolution:
-
To know our place within the landscape.
-
To deepen our understanding of the world around us.
-
To recognize our role within it—as humans, as leaders, and as part of a greater whole.
We move from perspective to insight, and back again.
For seven days, we walk and live together as a small circle in the mountains, as people have done for centuries. We reconnect with one another, with the land, and with something larger than ourselves. Through reflection, ancient ritual, and the guidance of the elements, we allow the wilderness to lead the way.
In collaboration with Presence Outdoor and Orkestra Hotel.
