Where Nature, Ecology and Psychology Meet

​

Everything we are is embodied in our name: Spirited Adventures. We are passionate about the deep impact adventure can have on the human spirit and equally about creating transformational processes in wilderness spaces. We curate expertly facilitated retreats and experiences that unforgettably draw on this duality. 

​

It has been proved decisively that time spent in nature offers us real well-being benefits; Greater inner peace and connection to others, greater creativity and clearer thinking, and a reduction in anxiety and depression. Through our retreats and wilderness experiences we know that you will come to experience her gifts.

We fully understand how important, and meaningful, experiences like these are.

​

​Conservation is fundamental to our purpose.

​

Our philosophy is to tread lightly on earth; Our focus is always on low-eco footprint experiences and leaving-no-trace.

Where our story started.

​

Back in 1989, Lutz Otto had already guided his first group on a multi-day wilderness, self-sufficient backpacking, experience. In June 2001, whilst in London, he journaled that he would like to create a business to share his passion for adventure, wilderness, conservation, leadership and psychology.

 

In parallel to his then traditional corporate career, Spirited Adventures was founded by Lutz in 2005, as a vehicle to express this passion. Outside this work Lutz owns a coaching practice. He is admitted as a fellow member of the global Association for Coaching, and is an executive, counselling, and life coach. His experience, developed over 35 years, has been gained in one-on-one coaching, group work, retreat facilitation, team coaching, counselling, mentorship, change management, leadership roles, and living a full life.
