For academic researchers the use of retreats in not yet commonly presented in the literature, and thus evaluations are also scarce. The increasing administrative burden as well as the pressure to “publish or perish” is well known. Being a researcher and seeking knowledge means that you face a potentially limitless amount of work and therefore it is important that we become more aware of our embodiment and adept in the skills of reading the warning signals of stress. Many musicians share this experience

The results show a strong correlation between perceived value and shared experience where the sharing of the natural space was felt to put humanity in perspective. Irrespective of how the different workshops were evaluated, the total experience was related to a strong embodied share dexperience.

Conclusion: 1.We need of a new vocabulary for researching researchers’ and musicians well-being, 2.The capacity of nature-related activities ability and meaning in the curriculum of academic life and in the life of a musician is warranted.
