PROGRAMS
Mountains · Ocean · Mind
AMNIMAKEN includes mountain and ocean journeys, practice integrated into active travel, and dedicated meditation and Tsa Lung retreats. Some programs focus mainly on skiing, surfing or freediving. Others are centred entirely on practice.
MOUNTAINS
ONE-DAY SKI TOURING
Gudauri & Kazbegi
Sometimes it is simply about going skiing.
If I am free and the snow, weather and route look interesting, I am happy to spend a day ski touring or splitboarding in the Gudauri and Kazbegi area. No retreat format and no formal practice sessions — just good terrain, good snow and good company.
Duration: 1 day
SKI TOURING JOURNEYS
Ski Touring & Splitboarding
One- to two-week ski-touring and splitboarding journeys in Georgia, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, the Himalayas and other mountain regions.
Skiing is the main focus. Depending on the journey, meditation or Tsa Lung practice may also become part of the daily rhythm.
Duration: 7–14 days
REMOTE BACKCOUNTRY CAMPS
Multi-Day Camps in Remote Terrain
A small well-equipped camp based deep in the mountains, away from resorts, roads and established infrastructure.
We stay in tents or snow shelters and tour directly from camp, choosing terrain according to snow, weather and conditions. Participants should have previous ski-touring or splitboarding experience and be comfortable spending several days in a remote winter environment.
Duration: Usually 3–5 days
SKI EXPEDITIONS
Journeys Beyond Established Routes
Journeys into mountain regions I want to understand better myself. Routes may not be fully mapped in advance, and plans remain flexible as we learn more about access, terrain, snow and local conditions.
These expeditions are for experienced participants who enjoy exploration itself and are comfortable being part of the process rather than following a finished itinerary. Some also contribute to my mountain research and guidebook work at Still Wild Mountains.
Duration: Varies
CLOUD & BREATH
Tsa Lung Mountain Retreat
A focused five-day mountain retreat centred on Tsa Lung, breathing practice, energy and attention.

Duration: 5 days
Practice: Tsa Lung
CLOUD & MIND
Meditation Retreat in the Mountains
A five-day mountain retreat centred on Anytime Anywhere Meditation.

OCEAN
