Wilderness Vision AS Reviews 

The Human-Nature-Quest guided by Manuel and Thoralf is a very unique experience. It deeply brings together the harmony of nature, the values of community and the space for inner self reflection. In the process this week provided we went through many layers, I myself felt myself going deeper into my layers each day. It is a beautiful way to come closer to yourself, to truly see where you stand in life and what is holding you back. A lot of time and space is created for this. This quest takes your through your depths and then uplifts your essence to a new inspired light. At the end of the week I felt renewed, in deep connection with myself, the nature and the people I shared the week with. I thank the commitment of Manuel and Thoralf to guide participants through this process, and find it most inspiring to see the guides share and participate in this process as deeply as we participants did.

My experience with Manuel & Suzanne facilitating my Vision Quest was outstanding, deep and full of awareness and great facilitation starting with the intake, the Quest itself and the aftercare. They made it possible to create an experience with my heart, an experience and learning about the nature and about life and feeling what it means to be alive and sowing seeds, which became possible next steps in my relationship(s) and my consciousness in life and work.

Manuel is a very grounded man, caring for the people in the process with his heart, head and hands, a great listener and a very independent leader. He helped me in all the ways needed to step into this experience as prepared as could be. Susanne was great in holding the space, putting ends together after introducing and 'lecturing' about what it could be to experience this Quest and give her perspective on things after the Quest.

If you are looking for a profound trajectory of self-development, based on old wisdom and tools, I highly recommend you to contact Manuel to feel and understand what a Vision Quest could mean for you.

After I met Manuel in 2010 for the first time in my life we used the payoff Welcome Home. This goes for my whole experience, within myself, and for the heartfelt and innate great facilitation of my Quest.

I had an initial call with Manuel to discuss whether the Vision Quest was something for me. This early focus on my goals and meeting with Manuel set the tone for my commitment over the following months culminating in the Quest itself. I decided quickly this was the right thing for me at this stage in my life and with acceptance on the Quest, materials followed which spoke to my heart and mind demanding courage and commitment which already provided a new momentum in my life.

Manuel is grounded, caring and independent. It was always my Quest … which he supported through advice on preparations in the lead up, sharing of skills at base camp with the four of us ‘questing’ before providing more context and tools on our return. The Quest was exactly the test and opportunity I was looking to introduce into my life. Sharing his own experiences with questing in his deeply personal, no nonsense and humourful way, Manuel was a courageous, respectful guide who we were all glad to have in the background protecting our individual adventures.

I would certainly recommend discussing with Manuel if you are wondering what a Vision Quest is or already know and are looking for the right set up. An early discussion and commitment was good for me so I had time to focus on and deal with different aspects. The four day fast was surprisingly easy (I think we were well-prepared finally at base camp for that); the cold was a challenge which I think supported my process by giving a clear (!) structure to the 4 days in the wilderness; the nature in Norway and particularly where we were is beautiful. After the 8 days, I spent a night in Lillehammer and two in Oslo which seemed like the perfect amount of time to adjust. Oslo was a good mix of nature and busyness and I got lucky with beautiful spring weather.

I would highly recommend a Vision Quest with Manuel.

Both Manuel and Marie are excellent guides that teach and live unique natural outdoor skills. The winter course teaches such a broad array of winter and outdoor skills, while you are also diving into a wilderness experience. They are great hosts and experienced in guiding participants through the process of such a course.

I had an unforgettable experience on an expedition in Sjodalen, Norway, with WildernessVision. Spending three nights in a bivouac camp at temperatures as low as -25°C was extreme but absolutely incredible. Our guide Manu was not only highly professional but also incredibly kind and supportive, making the experience both safe and enjoyable. He provided expert guidance, and I learned so much about survival and the outdoors. It was a truly unique adventure that pushed my limits in the best way possible.

Ich hatte das große Glück, vier Tage im Winter mit Manuel von Wilderness Vision in der norwegischen Wildnis unterwegs zu sein – und es war einfach fantastisch! Dank seines enormen Wissens, seiner perfekten Planung und seiner ruhigen, professionellen Art konnte ich die kälteste Nacht des Jahres bestens vorbereitet erleben.

Neben atemberaubenden Skitouren durfte ich auch viel über Bushcraft lernen – von Feuermachen im Schnee bis hin zu Überlebenstechniken in extremen Bedingungen. Manuel schafft es, Sicherheit und Abenteuer perfekt zu vereinen, sodass ich mich jederzeit gut aufgehoben fühlte.

Wer ein echtes Naturerlebnis sucht, das herausfordert, inspiriert und unvergessliche Erinnerungen schafft, ist bei Wilderness Vision genau richtig. Absolut empfehlenswert!

This winter course was a truly unique experience. Without a phone, watch, electricity, or internet, but with breathtaking landscapes, a small group, delicious food, and a pair of wooden skis, we had the opportunity to learn a lot about winter in Norway and experience everything firsthand. Everything we needed as a group was provided, and anything that wasn’t, we simply didn’t need.

I would recommend the courses to anyone with a basic level of fitness. No special prior knowledge or expensive equipment is required for the trip.

Amazing company that ran the winter course Jan 2025 that I attended. The Instructors were brilliant at providing a safe yet challenging environment that allowed me to fully enjoy a truly unique winter bushcraft experience. They could not have been more helpful and encouraging. I would 100% recommend to anyone interested.

The location is magnificent, the course is very well prepared and led by people who truly believe in what they, all material is available and there is room for getting information and training on specific topics which you are more interested in.

As a Norwegian with long experience for outdoor living, I do really recommend this Company for their wilderness courses. They have a high standard on their lectures, mixed with good support and much friendly atmosphere. And the food serving was also great, everything carefully prepared for us. I look forward to the next course!
