Join the coveted Winter Expedition: a full week of expert training and guidance, infused with Wim’s signature imagination and creativity, set in one of the most beautifully unspoilt places in the world.
Check out the Expeditions page to learn more about this event.
You need to be in relatively good health, and it helps to be in shape. At the same time, this is an experience for young and old, short and tall, man and woman. No prior Wim Hof Method experience is required. If you have suffered any health conditions that could potentially compromise your mental acuity (e.g. stroke) we strongly recommend that you consult a medical professional before signing up. The minimum age for participation is 16, and under 18 you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Note that attending the Winter Expedition does not qualify you to teach the Wim Hof Method. See the WHM Academy page for information about becoming a certified instructor.
Upon arrival, participants are divided into premade groups of about 25 each. You are assigned a room based upon the tier at which you signed up for the event.
Most mornings you will be energized with a signature Wim Hof breathing session, the way only the Iceman himself conducts them. Afternoons you are off to the Polish rivers and hillsides for a variety of challenging but fun activities, slowly getting acquainted with the cold.
WHM instructors complement the main program with a selection of activities of their choosing. These take place both outside and in a number of breakout rooms, guaranteeing that each group has their own intimate experience, and allowing instructors to provide ample individual attention and guidance. The activities are diverse, but all supplement the Wim Hof Method in their own unique way. Think of yoga, meditation, sound healing, or animal flow.
You won’t know exactly what you will be doing until the time is there. That Whimsy is an integral part of the experience, and characteristic of the Wim Hof Method in general. The Iceman likes unpredictability, adaptation, and flow. Like a pokémon, he can appear out of nowhere, and 5 minutes later you find yourself doing handstands in the snow. Wim Hof lives by what the cold whispers, and he knows exactly what you need. There is no telling beforehand what spontaneous shenanigans he will surprise you with, so expect the unexpected!
Evenings is time to consolidate what your body and mind have learned. Reflect— by yourself, with fellow expedition members, and/or with your instructors. Some nights Wim takes center stage to draw the bigger picture.
