Grounding and healing trails in the Swedish outback
Growing up in a fast, concrete build, materialistic and social media focused environment puts a tremendous challenge on youngsters.
Certainly on those who, for whatever reason, have a less fortunate starting position.
Thiis outward pull, into a world where “fake” becomes normal and inner essence gets lost. In such a setting, addictions and self-destructive behaviour are never far away.
Around the campfire, discomfort is shared, stories open up, truths are spoken, and silence is allowed. Nature holds both pain and possibility — a place to face shadows, break destructive habits, and reconnect with inner strength.
If appropriate, we integrate a sweat lodge ceremony: a Native American cleansing ritual that supports physical and mental renewal.
We offer a program where we help youngsters /people with a difficult background (addiction etc.) to find back themselves. in nature — a conscious program, focused on personal development and healing..Far from pressure, distraction, and old patterns.
Throughout the process, we follow our core principles as:
“Development comes from within.
No participation, no development.
No healing, no development.
The hurt of one is the hurt of all.
The healing of one is the healing of all.”
Fun and healing, challenge and reflection — together they grow a healthier social fabric. Participants experience and share steps beyond destructive victimhood, support one another, and learn how to hold healing dialogues themselves.
Back home, we provide a follow-up program or collaborate with partners who continue the guidance.

In the middle of nowhere, they meet quietness, each other, and, most of all, themselves. In a native-inspired program, related to the 12 step program, we create a socially safe, grounding, and challenging environment where participants gradually come to their choice to face dark places within themselves. In this experiential-learning program, participants choose challenges that build courage, trust, and resilience. In doing so, they find the support in themselves and each other to overcome and find new direction.
