With every kilometer, mine increases positive excitement and tension. I ask myself: How will it go? How will it feel entering the enclosure? How will I react to the wolves, or more importantly, how will they react to me?

In the research center Prof. Dr. Kurt Kotrschal, the head of the research center and Patricia Staniek, the developer and Training the Wolf Experience. We are a group of ten people.

 Create eye level to the wolves

The visit begins in the seminar room of the center with information about the Behavior of the wolves and a few safety instructions. We should avoid hectic movements, us self confident move. If we want to establish real contact, standing still is useless.

We must eye level craft by crouching down and touching the ground. After a final safety check - putting up long hair, removing everything that is plush or fur from clothing, removing jewelry - we march with the experienced employees of the research center around Prof. Kotrschal and Patricia Staniek in the direction of the enclosure. The wolves are waiting.

First direct contacts

As we approach the large fenced area, three wolves immediately trotted up. They come close to the fence and watch us. These are very intense looks, from beautiful yellow-brown to green-speckled Eyes. I do have one now light queasy feeling, but the joy of being able to experience the limits here right away outweighs it.

In single file we enter the enclosure and - as instructed - line up in a semicircle. Now the wolves get used to us, and we to the wolves. The first “brave” in the group crouch. I follow this example.

Just expect nothing

Suddenly a great calm comes over me. I don't expect anything, I'm in the moment, enjoying the sun and closing my eyes for a moment. Suddenly I feel a touch on my outstretched arm Hand, a wet muzzle has dared to sniff my fingers.

I open my eyes and in front of me stands Nanuk - the lead wolf of the pack. He looks into my eyes, I into his. What an incredible moment. Instinctively, I have done what is right in dealing with the shy beings, the wolves are now times. Do not expect anything, do not put dominance in the days, do not want to attract them. Do not want anything. Let go and be at the moment. Then they approach each other.

The wolf as Spiegel our personality

What a lesson! And that's what this wolf experience is all about. We may learn through the wolves that we do not determine what happens. Wolves caress and spend a beautiful afternoon is not the real goal of this experience.

Rather, it is about our own behavior in the Society and in the Business get to know better. The wolves, with their shyness and sensitivity are a perfect one here Spiegel.

Stop wanting!

Anyone who absolutely – I want, I want – tries to force contact with the wolf will probably not get one. Whether manager or well-known politician, PR consultant or journalist, in the wolf's enclosure we are all one. The Wolves decide, whether they want to get close to us or not.

My personal moment of glory that afternoon: When a wolf approaches me and puts his front paw on my outstretched left hand. I have no Anxiety, only great joy about this vote of confidence. Rarely have I felt as one with nature and especially with myself as I did at that moment.
