Manuel Sturm

Manuel Sturm (CH, 1989) spent three years training as a Scandinavian nature and wilderness mentor, blending this expertise with his previous work as a change facilitator in the Netherlands. He now provides transformative experiences in nature, specialising in leading vision quests—immersive journeys designed to facilitate deep reflection and personal growth.

Manuel believes that wilderness is not just a place, but a state of being—one that invites adventure, self-discovery, and transformation. He designs and hosts experiences in nature that cultivate curiosity, gratitude, and learning, helping individuals reflect on who they are and the world they wish to create. From this place of insight, courageous leadership is encouraged. He lives with his family in a small log cabin nestled in the Norwegian mountains, surrounded by national parks. Together, they live with and from nature, guided by their mission: ‘Be wild, be real.’
