Hekseringen

Vi kommer sammen en gang om årstid i løbet af en dags vandretur for at vandre, opleve livet i skovene i Københavnsområdet og blive en del af dem. Vi faster eller spiser let til at øge kvaliteten af oplevlesen. Efter turen samler vi vores oplevelser omkring et bål og fejrer med lækker mad.

We gather once a season for a day of hiking where we walk, experience life in the forests in the area of Copenhagen, and become a part of them. We fast or eat light to increase the quality of the experience. After the hike we bring our experiences together around a fire and and celebrate with delicious food.

Faste / Fasting

Vi faster for at dykke dybere ned i oplevelsen med mere introspektion, intention, skarpere nærvær og også for at forbinde os mere intimt og dybt med det, vi er i gang med at gøre.

Vi drikker vand og varme drikkevarer hele dagen til at hydreres godt og vi har snacks i rygsæken. Der er ingen risiko for en sund voksen at faste i et døgn. Alle deltagere, der ønsker sig at faste, besvarer en spørgeskema inden turen.

Dem der har lyst til at spise, kan selvølgelig spise så meget de har brug for ind og under turen. Det er nemlig ikke en konkurrence men en invitation til at undersøge grænsen mellem komfort zone og det ukendt og spændende på den anden side.

We fast to deepen the experience with more introspection, intention, sharpened presence and also to connect more intimately and thickly to what we are doing.

We drink water and warm drinks the whole day to stay well hydrated and we have snacks in our backpack. There is no risk for a healthy adult to fast for a day. All participants that wish to fast answer a form with questions before the trip.

Those that want to eat can of course do it before and during the hike. This is not a competition but merely an invitation to explore the frontier between your comfort zone and the unknown and exciting that is on the other side.

Hvem er jeg / Who am I

Jeg hedder Shifa og arbejder dagligt med mad og planter, facilitering, kropsterapi og konflikthåndtering. Jeg har i de sidste 15 år dyrket personlig erfaring med forskellige former for faste, herunder monodieter, intermittent fasting, ramadan og kontemplative vandringer.

Siden sommeren 2022 har jeg samlet folk omkring mig til at deltage i én-dags retræter, hvor vi vandrer og faster. I december 2022 arrangerede jeg også en weekendlang intim fejring af vintersolhverv med faste og vandring. Jeg er ikke læge, men jeg tager stor hensyn til at passe på dit helbred, mens du faster. Jeg har både personlig erfaring med praksis og har studeret fysiologien bag faste.

Jeg synes det er vigtigt at dyrke en relation til skov og ild.

My name is Shifa, and I work daily with food and plants, facilitation, body therapy and conflict management. I have developed a personal experience with fasting for the last 15 years (mono-diets, intermittent fasting, Ramadan, contemplative hikes).

Since summer 2022 I gather people around me to do 1 day retreats where we hike and fast. In December 2022 I have also organized a weekend long intimate celebration of the winter solstice with fasting and hiking. I am not a doctor, but am very fond of taking care of your health while you fast. I have both personal experience with the practice and am documented about the physiology of fasting.

I think it is important to cultivate a relationship to forests and fire.

Har du lyst til at være med? Har du nogle spørgsmål? Skriv gerne til hekseringen@pm.me, så kan du få alle de praktiske oplysninger om den næste tur (præcise tidspunkter og mødesteder) og hvordan du kan forberede dig til den.

Update 2024: Jeg plejede at arrangere madlavning til de tidligere arrangementer men gør det ikke længere pga manglede personlige resourcer.

Alle deltagerne er bedt om at tage noget mad til at dele med de andre deltagere ved bålen til slutningen af turen.

Vi deler omkonstinger af brænde til bålet. Resten er gratis.

Hvis du har interesse for at hjælpe mig med at arrangere de kommende begivenheder, send mig en email.

Do you want to join? Do you have some questions? Write me to hekseringen@pm.me, so you can get all the practical information about the next hike (precise time and meeting points), how you can prepare yourself to it.

Update 2024: I used to prepare food for the previous events but I don’t do it anymore because I currently don’t have the personal resources for that.

All participants are asked to take some food to share with the others at the bonfire at the end of the day.

We share the cost of firewood. The rest is free.

If you are interested to help me with a more curated type of catering for the future, send me an email.

"After initiating the circle in Dragør close to the sea, each of us went alone, followed a couple of minutes after by the next one. It was an invitation to a non social and mostly non verbal walk, with you, yourself and what is. At the end of the day, under a light rain, we arrived one after the other and gathered close to Amager Naturcenter, our arrival point. We broke the fast and shared about our experience."
