Discover Wild Ascents
Climb the mountain, meet yourself
Wild Ascents bring together mountaineering, embodiment, and emotional intelligence — the meeting point between outer adventure and inner transformation.
These high-intensity, mountaineering-based adventures blend physical challenge, technical skill, and inner exploration. Experiences that take you to high, raw places, where each step upward reflects an inner movement toward truth and humility. The mountain becomes both challenge and teacher.
Guided by mountain professionals with somatic-emotional guidance, Wild Ascents invite you into conscious and heart-directed adventure. One that strengthens the body, awakens the heart, and humbles the spirit.
This is not about conquering peaks, it’s about walking with them, learning from their silence, vastness, and demand for honesty.
Here, effort becomes meditation.
Altitude becomes expansion.
And the climb is only ever a reflection of what rises within.
What Makes Our Wild Ascents Wild ?
Wild Ascents are wild because they unite adventure and awareness.
We climb not only peaks but the inner mountains of fear, trust, and surrender.
In the face of altitude, exposure, and raw nature, your body becomes teacher, your breath becomes guide, and your heart becomes compass.
The mountain asks for humility and always offers perspective.
These experiences are not for everyone, but for those who are ready to rise into their strength with presence and respect, they open a doorway into deep aliveness.
Because when you meet the mountain fully, you meet yourself.
The ingredients of
Wild Ascents
Climb | Commit | Meet Yourself.
Location | High-altitude environments such as alpine peaks, glaciers, ridgelines, and rugged mountain terrain — places where raw beauty, risk, and precision meet.
What | Physically demanding mountaineering where real adventure comes first. The mountain sets the pace, the conditions shape the journey, and intensity becomes the ground through which deeper layers of self are revealed.
Content | Guided climbs and mountain travel, rope work, safety and terrain awareness, breath and body presence, simple circle moments, and short reflective practices — allowing insight to arise directly from exertion, exposure, and shared responsibility.
Physical Level | High — requires strong physical condition, basic mountain or outdoor experience, and the capacity to engage sustained effort, altitude, and intensity.
Preparation & Integration | Several online and physical preparation sessions covering equipment, safety, and emotional readiness, followed by a dedicated online integration circle.
Connection | Trust and cohesion forged through real dependence on one another — moving together in exposure, holding the rope, sharing decisions, and standing side by side in the face of vastness.
For You If | You feel called to meet yourself at the edge — to let the mountains confront you with simplicity, consequence, and truth, and to discover who you are when there is no room for distraction.
Types of Ascents | Alpine summit expeditions • Glacial travel and rope-team journeys • Initiatory climbs for men • Threshold and edge-exploration ascents • Silent or minimal-dialogue mountain immersions • Leadership and decision-making ascents under real conditions.
"Stop acting so small. You are the entire universe in motion."

The Power of
Co-Creation
At Wild Hearts, we believe that magic happens when hearts and minds come together.

From trusted friends and facilitators who share their expertise to the participants whose presence shapes the energy of the group, every voice plays a role in crafting a meaningful and transformative experience.
Below, meet some of the incredible partners (individuals and organisations) who bring their passion and heart to the creation of our group experiences, we create spaces for growth, connection, and discovery.

Foundations and Inspiration
A mix of proven methodologies
Behind everything I offer lies a foundation of practices and methodologies that keep the work safe, deep, and effective.
I draw from a wide range of proven approaches in somatics, psychotherapy, circle work, mindfulness, and depth psychology.
Rather than following one fixed method, I weave these traditions into a living, responsive practice , always guided by the body, the heart, and the moment.

Co-create Transformational Experiences
Wild Hearts collaborates with organizations, schools, communities, and teams that wish to bring depth, connection, and authenticity into their environments.
Whether through a one-day Tribal Gathering, a multi-day Wild Retreat, or a fully immersive Journey in Nature, we design each experience to meet the unique needs of your group. Together, we craft spaces that go beyond training or recreation — into transformation.
Rooted in somatic intelligence, circle work, and the power of shared humanity, our approach strengthens emotional awareness, teamwork, creativity, and genuine connection. The wild outdoors becomes both classroom and catalyst, revealing the natural intelligence that lives within each person — and within the group as a whole
These co-created experiences can serve as:
-
Team or community retreats to deepen trust and collaboration
-
Educational immersions for youth and schools
-
Well-being or leadership programs for professionals
-
Transformational journeys for those seeking authentic connection and renewal
Wild Hearts believes that when groups awaken together, they ripple healing far beyond themselves — into families, organizations, and the collective field we all share.
→ Let’s co-create your experience.

The Free Discovery Call is a 45-minute conversation with a team member, designed to explore where you are in your journey (or where your organisations is) and what you’re longing for. Together, you’ll clarify your needs, intentions, and what kind of experience — Wild Days, Retreats, Journeys, or Ascents — might best support you.
It’s a space to ask questions, feel into resonance, and see if the Wild Hearts approach feels right for you. No pressure, no sales pitch — just an honest human exchange to sense what’s alive and possible.Wild Hearts is a movement of heart-connected group experiences in nature that blend emotional exploration, nature immersion, and authentic human connection. We create spaces for people to reconnect with themselves, others, and the living world — together in nature.
Wild Hearts events are not escapes from life — they are returns to life. Every experience is rooted in nature, emotional intelligence, and embodied presence. We don’t teach from theory; we guide you into real, felt experiences of connection, transformation, and belonging.

Wild Days — Short 1–3 day workshops and circles combining nature, group resonance, and emotional discovery. Accessible to all.
-

-
Wild Journeys — Moving experiences through wild landscapes — hiking or walking from place to place in the spirit of pilgrimage and initiation.

Wild Hearts welcomes anyone ready to reconnect with what’s real — whether you feel called to heal, to grow, to feel more, or to rediscover your place in the greater web of life. All ages and backgrounds are welcome, as long as there’s a genuine willingness to explore with openness and respect.
All of our experiences can also be adapted to the needs and wants of your organisation, school or business.
All our experiences are designed to meet you where you are. Some events are beginner-friendly, while others (like Wild Ascents) require more physical and emotional readiness. Each offering clearly mentions the level of intensity, both on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Nature isn’t just a backdrop — she’s our co-facilitator. Every Wild Hearts experience is guided by the natural world: its rhythms, challenges, and mirrors. Weather, terrain, and the living landscape become part of the learning — teaching us resilience, trust, and flow.
Each experience is co-led and/or co-created by a team member of Wild Hearts, often alongside other skilled facilitators, teachers, and guides. Together, they hold grounded, trauma-informed, and heart-centered spaces that honour both safety and transformation.

Expect to be moved — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The work can be powerful and sometimes intense, but it’s always held with deep care and respect for your rhythm. Every process is trauma-informed and rooted in choice, consent, and your body’s pace.

“Joining the Wild Tribe”, where you’ll receive only meaningful updates — no spam, no noise.
And always remember: the best way to stay connected… is to step outside in nature...
