About the Experience with Zach Bush

How do we understand life when we stop separating the biological from the spiritual? What changes when we approach the body, the Earth, and consciousness as part of one continuous system?

In this week-long course, physician and researcher Zach Bush, MD brings a multidimensional inquiry into the intelligence of life — from soil to cell to soul.

Through lectures, physical practices, shared experiences and open dialogue, Zach will explore the patterns that connect ecology, human health, and spiritual awareness. His teaching draws on both scientific knowledge and intuitive insight, creating a learning environment that is embodied and alive.

The week includes:

• Daily short, simple, impactful somatic practices to activate the body and enliven the mind. These practices can be implemented into your life as daily habits.

• Hands-on sessions: tree planting, herbal medicine, and conscious cooking

• Time for rest and integration: walking, silence, spaciousness

• Time with Zach that respond to the energy of the group and the space

Core themes include:

• Where life begins — from the microbial soil to human consciousness

• The body as a vessel of spiritual intelligence

• Healing as a return to wholeness

• Nature as a living teacher

• Regeneration through food, movement, and ecology

• Reclaiming agency beyond the pharmaceutical model

The week will be shaped by the group, the setting, and what emerges organically: inllectually rich, emotionally resonant, and grounded in lived experience.

Whether you come with scientific curiosity or simply a desire to be present with someone who teaches from the edge where disciplines dissolve, this week is a space to listen deeply, move honestly, and reconnect with what truly sustains life.

Participants don’t need to be familiar with Zach's work, but are invited to bring an awakened presence: ready to meet the experience intellectually, physically, and relationally.

(Optional, with an additional discounted cost of €70 ONLY for TTS students)

  In this spirit, we welcome Zach Bush, MD for a week-long course that opens a dialogue between science and spirituality, between soil health, biology, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.
