“TOGETHER WE MOVE MOUNTAINS”

Transformative Learning Experiences In Nature

We journey together to remember our nature, and discover the medicine we have come to share with the world.

Our dear friend Annemein created this beautiful after-movie for our Mountain Medicine Expedition ‘Nature of Self’ a collaboration with Henk Petter. With 9 brave souls we ventured into the forests, fjords and fjäll of the northern wild, here at our back-to-basic retreat venue on the Swedish Westcoast of Bohuslän. A week of living in community, working with the elements, and connecting to our hearts.

What is Mountain Medicine?
A Nature-Based Development Practice.

Our approach to human development looks at individual issues as an expression of a greater collective calling. Our methodology supports people to activate their innate learning capacities, to drive the community as a whole towards greater maturity, integrity and responsibility. Looking through this lens, we place personal questions back into it’s context of nature & society.

How does Mountain Medicine work?
A Collaborative Space of Learning

We offer a variety of experiences, designed to foster positive changes for individuals, groups and organisations. There’s no fixed route for any of our journeys. At the heart of our work lies the ambition to create collaborative spaces of learning, that are action-oriented. Our programs bring best practices from multiple disciplines together, on the mountain

What has Mountain Medicine done so far? A Journey of Learning By Doing

Mountain medicine has emerged from an initiative titled Man In The Box, founded by Jorn Vetter in 2015. Through the gatherings that emerged, the central practice that now forms Mountain Medicine has taken shape. In the portfolio section, an overview of past and present initiatives provides an insight into the content, structure and form of the experiences we create.


Testimonials

  • .. one of the most beautiful and intense experiences in my life.

    “The 1-1 retreat with Jorn in Sweden was one of the most beautiful and intense experiences in my life. When I compare it to my plant medicine Dieta in Peru it was similarly impactful on my journey of healing. Whereas the Amazon and the work there felt more feminine, Sweden felt more masculine with its rough and cold wilderness and grounded mind & bodywork. Jorn’s work was costumized tailored to my needs. Reconnection with nature was essential among shamanic rituals, breathwork, meditation, ice bath, therapeutic elements. Thanks also for the delicious food, care and hospitality. I can truly recommend this work.”

  • .. it was as challenge in the best possible way; I could not have asked for a greater experience

    When joining the leadership trail I was in search for contact with nature and seeking refuge from the daily hustle and bustle. I did not expect I would indeed find that, and so much more. Thanks to Jorn’s guidance me and the group’s warmth, I felt I finally had space to breathe, share and connect, body, heart, mind and spirit. It was a challenge in the best possible way, and I could not have asked for a greater experience. I left the mountain humbled and strong.

  • ... Jorn's pure, authentic and humble facilitation has truly helped me explore uncharted territory.

    “What a journey. Incredibly beautiful to experience nature in such an intense way, and spend time in the mountains to take time for my own questions. I’ve enjoyed the great outdoors so deeply; Jorn’s pure, authentic and humble facilitation has truly helped me explore uncharted territory, and I’m infinitely grateful. Through this Mountain Medicine Summit, I got to know the shamanic way in an accessible, personal and understandable way, that made me curious for more. I wish I could’ve stayed..”
