Get started on your journey with us

Since 2014, we have created innovative programs for leaders ready to find new meaning. Through professional guidance in beautiful natural environments, participants are given the conditions to get to know themselves in a new way. 

While our programs share many similarities, they differ in purpose and participant groups. Our longest program, Core Leaders, runs over several months with recurring meetings. This allows for deep exploration of key questions and the opportunity to form close relationships that last for many years. Core Wisdom offers an intensive start to something new, where the network continues to meet and work together with a shared purpose. Our corporate programs are fully customizable, often focusing on a critical challenge for the organization that gets full focus during some days in nature — far from everyday routines. We also offer coaching for leaders seeking a tailored approach to their specific needs. 

Nature plays an important role in our programs. We have, for example, hiked in the Atlas mountains, spent nights on an island in the middle of Råne älv, warmed up in a sauna on southern  Gotland, and ridden across the Icelandic highlands. Combined with professional guidance, group discussions, and meditation, we create experiences that help you challenge the familiar — and find your inner core.

Core Journey

Bring your most important issues or questions and join us for an unforgettable journey. Perhaps your question is: What is next? Is this it? Should I stay or go?

Core Journey

A journey symbolizes change. It can be an inner journey and a journey to a new place somewhere in the world. The Core Journey embraces both. Bring one of your most important issues or questions and join us for an unforgettable journey.

The question can be anything that matters to you. What is next? Is this it? Should I stay or should I go? Why is my life governed by other people’s expectations on me? It can be a reflection of something personal, professional or both.

You will be part of a group of fifteen companions who unite and support each other throughout this journey. Our facilitators are there to ensure a safe and open space filled with trust.

Your question will get full attention in different group settings. Often, the most important dimension is when you find the space and peace to meet with yourself and listen to your inner voice. You will experience new valuable perspectives to your question or issue from yourself and your fellow travellers. You will also get closer to your own core, helping you to move forward in life, with grace and confidence.

Practicalities:
First of all, you send us your application. Then we schedule an interview to get to know you and your issue. On the first day of the program we establish the group and build trust and look at the collection of our issues. A few weeks later, we embark on a 3-4 days’ journey with your fellow companions to a beautiful nature setting. A month later, we gather again for a follow up and deepening of the insights.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
Without exaggeration, Core Leaders is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had! I gained insights into how I am and how I function in interaction with others, both in my professional and personal life. On top of that, the unique opportunity to connect with new people in a completely "filter-free" way left a profound impression on me. Michaëla and Martin have a wonderful dynamic in how they engage with the group. Their knowledge and experience set the tone for our group and how we opened up to each other. Core Leaders has given me tools and insights that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. And as a bonus, I gained an incredible bunch of friends – hard to beat!

I had never previously “taken a journey within myself.” During the program, I got the chance to do just that, and it was an incredibly valuable learning experience for me. The participants often shared their collective experiences, which gave me many insights and a great deal of inspiration.<br /> I would say that the program was truly an eye-opener for me. I gained some absolutely invaluable insights. Thanks to them, my approach has changed, and I feel that this change has been for the better—both at work and in my personal life.
Mikael Thunved

I heard about HumanCore from a couple of previous participants who said it was something completely different from the usual leadership programs. What they described sounded more like a cult (in a good way) than a course. They mentioned that at the beginning, you don’t share your last name or where you work, which felt like a relief – all titles and CVs would stay outside the room. It also turned out to be an odd but powerful mix of spirituality and brutal honesty, which suited me. Martin and Michaëla led us with a strangely perfect combination of sharpness and soul.
Amanda Lundeteg
CEO, Allbright
For me, it was a truly fundamental journey—one where I ultimately found my way back to who I really am as a person. By gradually peeling away several layers, I was able to see how my upbringing and life experiences had shaped me into the person I am today. I also learned to better distinguish between external expectations and my own inner voice, and as a result, I have become much better at listening to my own inner compass. I feel that this has made me a more confident and authentic leader.<br /> <br /> It was also an incredible experience to follow a group of people so closely over the course of a year. You get to know each other on a profoundly deep level in a short amount of time, and when you meet again, you immediately dive into honest, deep, and challenging conversations. Having so many genuine sounding boards in my life is an incredible privilege.
Lene Sandvoll Stern
Partner, Adelis Equity Partners
Even though I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into, I had high expectations. But I feel like I got more out of it than I expected. I gained a clearer understanding of who I am and what drives me. What I want from my life (mainly my professional life), when I'm at my best, but also what makes me become a less flattering version of myself.
