Magic with your brain

Outdoor coaching

Enjoying nature in Sweden while creating new brain pathways. That is what Outdoor Coaching is all about.

Just imagine walking along a narrow path through a dense forest. You walk in the shade of large coniferous and deciduous trees growing intertwined. The ground, completely covered in a soft, green layer, feels like a carpet under your feet. It is a kind of green that is barely captureable in photographs, it is so vibrant.

After walking a short distance without encountering a single soul, we arrive at an open clearing where we can do an exercise. We use nature, your body, and your mind to learn new things about yourself. And, of course, gain a new, applicable skill to learn how to control your mind and body.

We walk on again, playing and training your new skill as we go. Beside us now is a rock face of enormous stones. You feel warm rays of sun constantly hitting your face, filtered through the leaves. At the end of the path is a beautiful lake with crystal-clear water. What a delight!

Outdoor coaching comes in many forms; below you will find the most common ones.

Outdoor week program

4 or 5 full mornings immersed in Swedish nature and a different way of thinking.

I will take you to the most beautiful spots in the area where we will go for walks, go through various exercises, or a combination. This week is most used by people coming from far away who want to make a serious impact on the chaos in their heads and lives.

Perfect for

-if you keep running into the same pitfalls

-Burnout recovery and prevention

-ADHD

-depression

-think

fears

-Strong internal critic

-you are looking for direction in life

-calming your nervous system (and learning to keep it)

-if you are very sensitive to your surroundings

The program is not strictly defined and is personalized. Broadly speaking, what we work on during such a week looks like this:

Monday morning: gaining influence over your way of thinking, letting go of what is irrelevant, and being able to think purposefully, while allowing the body and brain to work together again. Family systems will also be discussed.

Tuesday morning: Learning to feel boundaries and motivation, emotion regulation, and clearing the mind. Letting go of old issues. Creating tools to move forward.

Wednesday morning: Break day OR integration morning. Of all the above. Depending on your pace, we will adjust what is needed here.

Thursday morning : Addressing unhelpful thoughts and converting them into helpful thoughts.

Friday morning: Insight into where you want to go in various forms. Aftercare and what is still needed. Making a campfire and a simple Swedish farewell lunch.

Individual coaching sessions beforehand are sometimes helpful, and follow-up care is also available afterwards. During the coaching week, you arrange your own accommodation and travel. This form of coaching has proven to be very effective, and so far, all participants have been enthusiastic. However, it can be intensive (it was formerly called intensive coaching). Therefore, I keep a close eye on you during the coaching, and we scale back if necessary. Incidentally, this is almost never needed. My experience and nature provide an excellent learning environment. People are often amazed at how much they can learn.

Get in touch to get in touch, see if it's right for you, and discuss any wishes (perhaps there is something you would really like to do or see in Sweden).

Single outdoor sessions

Are you ready for coaching and do you live nearby or are you passing through?

If you live nearby, it is easy to come by yourself for coaching.

For individual sessions on location, we can We can meet for a walk as mentioned above, or as normal coaching usually works: on an hourly basis. We will then get acquainted first, after which I can accurately assess what is needed, what your process might look like, how many sessions you need, and what the costs will be.

Back to basic

Do you want to take things a step further than the outdoor coaching week? Then this is for you! We will head out together to less accessible spots where we will also spend the night: one or two nights in the Swedish wilderness, on a small island in a lake, or in the forest.

Are you ready to catch your own fish? And cook it over our homemade fire? Or would you rather take something along to eat between our sessions? It is all possible. Get in touch, and we'll see what kind of wonderful adventure we can experience together!
