From the Sea of distraction to the Ocean’s edge of Norway
As part of our evolutionary heritage, human beings - both children and adults - have a profound need for time in wild, outdoor spaces.
As part of our evolutionary heritage, human beings - both children and adults - have a profound need for time in wild, outdoor spaces.
In this Virtual Age of overwelming tecnology we need more than ever to relate to the natural world. Richard Louv, the author of Last Child in the Woods & Nature Principles, coined the term “nature-deficit disorder” to describe the way children grow up deprived of wandering in muddy creeks. Reconnecting to the natural world is fundamental to human well-being, spirit, and survival - not only to children.
This summer we brought our two boys on an Adventure in Solund, at the ocean’s edge of Norway. Encompassing 1,700 islands, islets and skerries Solund archipelago is perfect for outdoor activities. In Hardbakke we rented kayaks at the local guidecompany Sognefjorden Active and headed for the ocean. With no WiFi and no electricity our primary intention was to plunge deeply into the wilderness without any disruptions.
Our first stop was Råkeneset, the westernmost cabin maintained by the Norwegian Trekking Assosiation (DNT), Ytre Sogn Turlag. Råkeneset is an 250 year old homestead protected by the Directorate for Cultural Heritage. The walls of these buildings holds the story of the life of the farmer fisherman and invite you the enter the essence level of experience. This level host the deepest and subtlest feelings, visions and dreams of our ancestors and brings a sense of unity.
The next day the wind picked up so we changed our plan on visiting Lågøystolane. Beeing in nature demands better use of our senses, we need to look at the entire surroundings. We decided to paddle inshore, found a peaceful place to savour our lunch and for the boys to test their fishing luck. In the evening we went ashore at Litle Færøyna where we enjoyed the hospitality of local islander Roar.
Both Råkeneset and Litle Færøyna are a part of “Kystleden”, a unique offer for those seeking outdoor recreation along the coast. The intention of “Kystleden” is to convey coastal culture and provide good experiences with nature and outdoor life.
This is not to argue against the concept of tecnology. Nevertheless more and more people show symptoms of “nature-deficit-disorder”, overwelmed by the sea of distraction constructing our everyday life. Allowing yourself to go into the wilderness, reconnecting with the essence level of nature you can break the pattern. The more high -tech we become, the more nature we need.
Go on an Adventure - Unplug - Come back renewed.

The Bedrock of our Adventures
Explore the deeper landscapes of Måløy, for they are true holders of wisdom.
Exploring the deeper landscapes of Måløy, for they are true holders of the wisdom of Patience and Robustness.
Our beloved hometown is often recognized by the peak of Mount Veten and Mount Brurahornet. As a litte girl I thought they looked like volcanos, and I kept having dreams of fleeing from lava erupting from the top of the mounatins. Little did I know that my nightmares were not that far fetched.
The solid foundation of mother earth was formed 1.8 billion years ago. Deep within this bedrock, Veten and Brurahornet were formed from Magma 1,6 billion years ago! Magma refers to molten rock trapped underground, if this molten rock makes it to the surface and keeps flowing like a liquid, it is called lava.
This type of rock is called Mangeritt, they are tremendiously solid and in a world context they are very rare. The rock came to the surface on the coast of Norway because of the rise and fall of the Caledoninan chain of Mountains 400-500 million years ago, in combination with erosions during the Iceage.
So the next time you are hiking in the mountains of Måløy keep in mind that you are truly walking on solid ground!
The Stories of Inner and Outer Landscapes
Harnessing the deeper truths, knowledge and potential of people, nature and life events to create meaning and change.
Harnessing the deeper truths, knowledge and potential of people, nature and life events to create meaning and change.
During the Ice Age, nature worked its magic carving the spectacular landscapes of Norway. The vast and spectacular fjords are only here today as result of the freezing chill of the Ice Age. When the coastline rose from the glaciation, human settlements sprung up on lands that had previously only been occupied by nature. Dramatic climate change set the stage for ecological and cultural evolution.
Our landscapes holds memories, myths and notions. Archaeologists have previously been aknowledning base of resource and communication as the main reason for the earliest costal settlements. But the traces from our ancestors also tells the story of belonging, trust and fundamental interactions with nature. It`s fair to say there are some hidden gems at the core of our landscapes.
Life is like moving through open landscapes, never knowing what comes next. There will be steep hills and rough terrain, storms and rainy days, as much as there will be clear paths, sunshine and magical sceneries. Each day is an adventure. The little things are just as important as the Big thing. The hard times are just as eligible as the happy times. Navigation asks of us to become aware of our inner and outer landscapes; Sensing, feeling and conscously choosing, and then - Just let it be. At the end of the day it`s out of your hands, every outcome is possible.
