The re:nature institute

We see the re:nature institute (uma institute until 2026) as a place of learning and a space for relationships, where people can (re)discover aliveness. With nature and the local landscape. With our history and our European ancestors. With our own humanity in today's world.

Management re:nature institute

Ursina and David Seghezzi

Our paths crossed in 2011. Since then, they have run together, connected as a couple and as parents.

Since 2013, we have been living, working, and researching together in the Wendland region. We support and inspire each other. And we feel that together we are better than either of us alone.

Team and partners

Working together

The re:nature institut is not just Ursina and David. We have the good fortune to be able to work with wonderful and competent people and very competent nature spirits. 

Our seminar house

An old house...

... in an old, round village. Since 2013, the re:nature institute has been located in the Wendland (Northern Germany). A magical place with lots of nature, heart and soul.

Our approach

re:nature is also the headline for our approach, in which we have pooled over 30 years of experience and research from ritual and nature work, and from working with teams and organisations. 

The uma workshop

Trying new things together

The uma werkstatt is an association of graduates from re:nature training courses. The uma werkstatt association meets once a year in Beseland to learn about the latest research and practical developments from the re:nature institute, to trial new applications together, and to make an impact on society.
