The Rewilding Advent Calendar

24 little doors to slow down, step outside and connect as a family this December.


Where this tradition comes from

Sarah grew up in Franconia, in the south of Germany. A big part of her childhood and teenage years was spent walking the dogs with her mum through the forest near home, and wandering the same woods with her granddad, learning about plants and mushrooms.

In December, those walks turned frosty and magical. Candles in the windows, the smell of Lebkuchen, and on the wall an Advent calendar with 24 little doors. Behind each one, in true German tradition, a small piece of chocolate.

We love that tradition. But this year, we wanted to give your family something more meaningful than chocolate.

Moments. Twenty-four of them.

What’s behind each door

A short video or voice message from us every morning, from December 1 to 24

A tiny nature ritual, a story or a small adventure to do together

Ideas that work anywhere, from a snowy forest to a tropical beach

No crafts to buy and no prep, just five to fifteen minutes a day

Everything in a private Telegram channel, easy to follow on your phone

Our little ritual

Here’s how we love to use it: light a candle at breakfast, gather the kids, press play together and let the day’s little door set the tone.

Some days it’s a winter story. Some days it’s a mission outside, a question to wonder about or a small act of kindness. Every day it’s a moment where everyone looks up from the busy and simply shares something together.

It’s the kind of December we want for our own family. Slower, warmer, more connected. We’d love for you to join us.


A calmer December for you, too

The Advent Calendar is for the whole family. Our Rauhnächte journey is just for you: twelve quiet evenings between Christmas and January 6 to reflect on the year and set intentions for the next.

You can add the Rauhnächte at checkout for just $37 instead of $47.
