Ingredients:
Winter expedition, Dog sledding, Coaching, Northern Lights
Discover the magic in nature and yourself. In the deep silence of the snowy, frozen world in the far north, you wander around and encounter mostly yourself. Winter nature is a fantastic mirror for your inner worries and patterns. The extreme circumstances force you to slow down and live mindfully in the here and now. This creates the peace and space to reflect, feel and deepen insights. How nice is it when you dare to really trust yourself in the process?
The Arctic Reset is a unique journey to discover your authentic leadership. A journey in which you discover who you are and what you stand for. In what ways do you lead your life and work?
During this trip
- Become aware of your own patterns in these particular circumstances
- Reflect on small and big questions that concern you

I recently joined a winter expedition with Arctic Adventure for the 2nd time and both times these were unforgettable experiences.
How cool is it to sleep in the middle of a white snowy forest with the Northern Lights above you!
I can recommend it to everyone to experience such an expedition.

Arctic Reset Program
Intake interview:
During an extensive one-on-one walk with Bé van Lotringen, we explore your questions, goals, and intentions, and discuss what you need during the journey.
From this moment on, there is continuous support available from Bé for you as an individual participant. This helps you get to the core faster and achieve optimal results from the trip.
Online meeting before the expedition:
Introductory meeting with the group participants, where everyone’s individual intentions are shaped and shared, explanation is given about the expedition materials, and expectations are discussed.
The expedition in Swedish Lapland:
A joint journey where participants work together as a team, while also having their own learning experience in nature. The expedition is back to basics. We sleep the first night in a cabin, after which we travel for three days on cross-country skis through the beautiful white landscape and make camp where we want.
The second part consists of a dog sledding trip where we each lead our own team of huskies. In doing so, we spend the night in a wilderness cabin. We conclude the expedition with a final night in a luxury cabin with a delicious dinner. During the expedition there is a lot of attention for your personal growth through reflection moments and guidance.
Landing Interview:
Individual conversation with Bé van Lotringen about your experiences and insights from the expedition and how to shape and integrate them into your daily personal and/or professional life.
Bé van Lotringen
Psychologist, running therapist & coach
As a psychologist and running therapist, I prefer to choose my workplace in or near nature. The light, the sky and all the colors support my vision that movement brings out a positive force in you that surprises. I believe in movement. Movement gives space. Space in your body and your head.
An adventure, a challenge, being at one with nature, hearing, seeing and feeling the silence, an environment that and company that provokes reflection and contemplation.
Grateful that I was able to experience all of this…. a week never to forget!
Many thanks to Henk-Jan Geel, expedition leader of Arctic Adventure.
For his excellent preparations, expert guidance and caring. Carpe diem
Program outline ‘Arctic Reste – Coaching Trip’ in Sweden.
Discover yourself and the highlights of Swedish Lapland in one trip.
In the Netherlands
Together with Bé van Lotringen, you choose a time for the coaching intake. In this, your central coaching question emerges. This is the central question you will work on during the coaching trip in Swedish Lapland.
Day 1
You will arrive in Kiruna on your own in the early afternoon. We will pick you up from the airport or meet in the city center.
From here we will be driven to Kirunavvaara. In the lodge we can quietly “land” and get used to the new environment.
In the evening there is extensive time to reflect on your personal coaching question. We are getting ready for the rest of the week.
Day 2
Just after breakfast get acquainted with the equipment for our trip on skis. We strap on the skis and click the sled behind us. Into nature. At night we sleep in a tent and prepare our own food. We have ample time for good conversation and reflection. Sleep in the expedition sleeping bag. Delicious.
Day 3
In the morning, we wake up early. That sleeping bag was warmer than expected after all. Slept fine.
We eat breakfast and fill our thermoses for the day. Today we will continue. Across frozen lakes and rivers. Through forests and over hills. In expedition style. Time enough to let the thoughts come to you and relax.
Moving alternates with short breaks. This way we cover about 10 kilometers. In the evening, we set up the tent. You can do that almost anywhere. Delightful in nature. Just where we are at the time.
In the tent there is space and quiet for reflection a good conversation and dinner.
Day 4
The morning ritual of the previous day repeats itself. We ski a few more miles today. We end at the beautiful Sami church in Jukkasjärvi.
When we get back outside the husky guide is waiting for us. This one takes us to the husky farm. Here we will continue to work together and individually on coaching and your development.
‘We sleep 1 night at this husky farm. A wonderful place to swap skis for huskies
Day 5
We are explained about the huskies, about the sled and clothing. We change into warm clothes and get on the sled.
Slowly but surely, the caravan moves away deep into the Swedish forests. After several hours, we arrive at the wilderness hut. We feed the huskies and go to the table ourselves. In the evening we can use the sauna. The cabins are primitive, but that’s all you need here. We have each other and the stories come naturally to the table. We fire up the fireplace and if we are lucky we will see the Northern Lights.
Day 6
Early in the morning the huskies are already waiting for us. We will take a beautiful trek through the wilderness in the morning.
After lunch, we bid farewell to our four-legged friends. We are taken to our last stop. Camp Ripan. Here we stay for the last night. A starred location with sublime restaurant.
We slide into the restaurant at 7 p.m. for a meal of local delicacies over a good glass of wine. Late into the night we talk on about the past wonderful days.
Day 7
At 09:00 the cab is in front to take us back to Kiruna airport. You will return home on your own. Or maybe stay in Stockholm for a few more days. While you’re there…
The end of a few unforgettable special days. But the question that inevitably comes up now is, “How do I explain these impressions to friends and colleagues? That’s actually not doable.
After returning
Together with Bé, you choose moments to reflect on the whole trajectory you went through in the Netherlands and Sweden. What the learning points, concerns and gains are from this magisterial journey of discovery through Arctic Lapland and yourself.

Preparation
Beyond the two individual coaching sessions with Bé, we meet one more time.
We meet once before the trip. Live or digital. We pick the date by mutual agreement. Then we get to know each other. You’ll get an explanation of the materials and we’ll consider the map. With tea and coffee, we will discuss the trip and if possible set up the tent.
During the Trip
Tours at Arctic Adventure are “Expedition Experiences. You experience what an expedition could be like. Sometimes spicy, sometimes easy. But always together.
We sleep in tents. You do this with someone else (or your partner) from the group. On summer trips, you can choose to bring your own tent. So then you can also sleep alone. On winter trips, at least two people always sleep in a tent for safety reasons.
Moving, cooking and navigating are done together. The beauty of small groups is that there is always a real and good group feeling. Sometimes there are friendships and reunions years later.
We keep in touch with each other before (and often after) in a WhatsApp group.
Fitness
This “Expedition Experience” is a Blue label expedition and low-key in scope. Still, basic fitness is necessary. Depending on the weather, it could be a spirited ride.
You don’t have to run a marathon. But assume you should be able to run 10 kilometers with a 10-kilogram backpack at a normal pace, 10 days in a row.
10 kilometers of continuous running is also good. Do you have any questions about this? If so, please contact the guide.
During the trek, there is mainly physical stress on the knees and lower back.
Sports Medical Examination
Are you over 60 and want to participate in this tour? If so, we highly recommend you get a sports medical examination. Read more about the possibilities here.
Safety
During the trip we are in uninhabited territory. In case of emergency, our position can always be reached by the rescue services with a snowmobile.
The guide carries communication devices and both digital (GPS) and analog (Compass) navigation.
The guide has training in Wilderness Advanced First Aid and WGA I (Wilderness Guide Association)
Packing List
After your registration (or upon request) you’ll receive a detailed packing list.
Cross-Country Skiing
Do you want to read more (everything) about cross-country skiing? Because that’s what we’ll be doing during this expedition. Then read it on the site of toerlanglauftochten.nl.
