Meet Danny Shmulevitch
Wilderness Facilitator, Embodiment Guide, Long-Time Friend of Concord
Danny Shmulevitch is an experienced guide and facilitator whose work invites participants into a quieter, slower rhythm of life one rooted in the body, nature, and presence. Raised among semi-nomadic tribes in the Sinai Desert, Danny draws from decades of immersion in nature-based wisdom and leadership.
His retreats are set in forests and wilderness settings and are centred around deep listening, simplicity, and embodied awareness. Through movement, stillness, breath, and nature connection, Danny supports individuals to return to what is essential within themselves.
“The pace of his retreats is quiet and unforced, yet deeply transformational.”
A Shared Commitment to Inner Transformation
Danny has been a long-time advocate for the work of Concord Institute. Though his courses sit outside the Concord curriculum, there is a shared intention: to create the conditions for meaningful and lasting transformation.
While the methods may differ, Danny’s being rooted in nature and Concord’s in structured practice, dialogue, and kitchen work both approaches aim to wake us up to the present moment and to the possibility of living with greater integrity, clarity, and purpose.
Many people who attend Danny’s retreats later choose to take part in Concord’s core programmes. Equally, those who have undertaken Concord’s transformational curriculum often feel called to deepen their work in the simplicity of Danny’s outdoor retreats.
Together, we form a broader pathway for those seeking not just insight, but a fundamental shift in how they live.
A Natural Crossroad Between Two Schools of Work
Danny’s work and Concord’s curriculum sit as complementary pathways within the same landscape of transformation. People often move between the two—some starting in the forest and later entering the dialogue room, others beginning with The Foundation Course and later finding themselves by a fire in the woods with Danny.
This relationship is not formalised, but organic. A living conversation between two bodies of work.
Whether you’re looking to reconnect with your body in the stillness of nature or to challenge your patterns in the depth of group work, the two streams often go hand in hand.

This experience has changed the focus and direction of my life. Nature is speaking to me differently, my body feels stronger and I feel more powerful than I ever have before. This reatreat heralded a new chapter for me.
