ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
WISDOM IS WELCOME
WHEREVER IT COMES FROM
Continue your learning; your open-mindedness and inquisitive nature
will draw out the wisdom within this experience
This is something different…
NOT your typical event
Today’s leaders, entrepreneurs, high-performers, coaches and creators understand the value of quality connections, community, and doing self-work with other like-minded people.
Most trips, events, or masterminds consist of boiler-plated hotels, conference rooms, and a line-up of impressive speakers… but they aren’t unique, don’t lead to stories of a lifetime, create incredible memories, or allow for deeper connections, and they don’t end up making an impact on the attendees lives.
So many of these events are in awesome locations away from home and the office, but you end spending most of the time indoors with terrible lighting, taking notes and learning, but not a lot of “doing”.
After attending over 47 high end events and working with high level leaders for 15 years, we know which events stand out in our memories, and which ones are easily forgotten.
So, we decided to craft and design this unique experience to help you have the trip of a lifetime, while breaking through to another level of performance in your life and business.
Whether you are:
an adventurer looking to discover Norway in a unique way
a Viking enthusiast, or just curious to learn about Viking culture and wisdom
or an entrepreneur / leader who wants to enjoy your success, digitally detox, and have a new peak experience
…then we have you covered!

“VALHALLA AWAITS YOU”
at The Viking Initiation
What Past Attendees Are Saying!
Karl Larsen
“The Viking Initiation is a world class event that was truly a unique and unforgettable experience in an absolutely beautiful and breath-taking part of the world. From the location, to the teachers, to the authentic immersion into the Viking life and history, they thought of everything and organized it perfectly.”
Ian Stanley
“It was fucking epic! If you don’t go, you’ll regret it.
For real, the view alone is worth the entire price. If you go to Norway without this group, you’ll still never get to have the unforgettable experiences you’ll have at the Viking Initiation. The unique activities we got to do were unreal!”
