Abstract
Professor Knut-Willy Saether from Volda University, Norway, will provide an introduction to the Norwegian concept of 'friluftsliv' and his interdisciplinary research, emphasizing “deep experiences” in very wild nature, such as the high mountains of Norway, Svalbard etc. He will then address some more philosophical reflections on the “trajectory” from these nature experiences towards spirituality (where the important of “place/space” will be highlighted).
