"All things speak for themselves. How do I make it so that I understand their language? A forester doesn't see a tree, he sees timber prices, pests, storm damage, etc. Who else can see a tree as a tree? The child." - Hugo Kükelhaus, 1956, founder of the Erfahrungsfeld.
At Freudenberg, places, clearings, gardens, rooms, chambers... are staged so that each and everyone finds, discovers and recognizes in their own way. For some, the field of experience begins with the architectural monument of Freudenberg Castle, the facades, the staircase, the windows.... A castle with 58 rooms. Others discover the preciousness of seeing, the coloured shadows, the rainbow colours, the afterimage and the play with the visual axis and perspective. Children conquer the wide slide on the main staircase and youngsters swing on the swings at a height of 4 metres. Or the barefoot path becomes a praise of the feet that carry us through life and are now massaged, kneaded and invigorated.
A whole new encounter with smell. The olfactory organ on which the hellebore sonata sounds leads into the world of scents, perfumes, smells and the memories associated with them.
In this desire you discover "the other", the "you" and enter into relationship. Especially with groups, school classes and teams the experiential field work shows ways, field paths to perceive and distinguish: I, YOU, WE. A fieldwork that creates the basis for learning together and working together.
