Testimonials from Stand Tall Team 1
"As a participant in Stand Tall, I can utter my warmest recommendations, but be warned: if you are not ready to CHALLENGE yourself and change the way you see yourself, others and the world, don't do it. Stand Tall goes deeper than anything else I have tried."
(Torben, Senior Executive Partner in a large consulting firm)
"I love the guided meditations, the feeling when I sit in the tipi, when I feel connected to nature and the connection I feel when I am in this practice. The self-awareness I get, the self-esteem I feel. I feel how I manage, even source my own energy. I notice the difference in me when I speak from Command and am more adept at making my decisions from the right place."
(Liselotte, artist)
"I love the structure I get here for my energy work.
When I sit in nature and experience what a group can do when they are in the same open space, there is a basis for deep learning.
On this journey, there is also a great bonus in getting to know a number of really great people. I get to broaden my way of seeing the world - it's like coming home. And it's wonderful that Steen and Malene have brought this ancient wisdom tradition to Denmark.
One of the most important things for me is the learning and awareness I gain about how energy work is connected as part of ourselves and all of us. I am getting a much better language, understanding and application for this."
(Jens, Project developer and initiator)
"I take my physical fitness seriously, as do I regarding my mental or "spiritual" form. A whole person is both body and soul. If you take your own form seriously, you must take yourself seriously, is what I learn here. And about endured persistence. . Only then do I get "in shape". The system I am learning here, will never be finished. There is so much wisdom to be gained here as it is the connection with everything, the contact with the real deep forces of nature. Our boot camps are magical, it's something to be experienced."
(Peter, innovation consultant, former professional handball player)
"I've learned how to take the step to being fully human, in myself and in the world. It is a continuous learning process, challenging and enormously rewarding. This has been my best experience, especially working with nature. The good reflective Medicine Walks. I get a layer deeper and gain different perspectives. I meet a new community of new people. Everyone comes with the intention of being in community. It builds on fundamental training in the human and the interpersonal. Something I have encountered in work contexts in the past, but which in this programme reaches much deeper. "
(Trine, HR consultant in large Danish bank)

Testimonials from Stand Tall Team 2
"The wisdom instructed in the program Stand Tall is both deeply meaningful and consequential, delivered with the highest level of passion and competence by the trainers. The training takes place in a natural setting and with the greatest attention to the aesthetic, resulting in a pure energy as well as a natural respect around the learning received. In the ceremonies, a very special collective consciousness is experienced between the participants as well as an evolving community, which inspires me to create change that makes a difference.
The training has increased the quality of all relationships and made me a more effective leader – both through an increased awareness of my own energetic impact as well as developing the ability to bring the right energy to the table - all with full respect of my own integrity. In addition, the training reminds me of my place in the Universe, thereby giving me greater sense of gratitude, joy and respect for my surroundings and presence. I have spoken."
MADS PETER OLSEN
Chief Strategy Officer, GroupM ONE DK & Nordics
"I have participated in many development programmes, leadership trainings, coaching sessions and much more over the years, but nothing comes close to the personal development Vehoma brings. Where other courses run over a few days or a few weeks, this program is designed to run over several years, and for good reasons. Development takes time, and it requires a carefully designed programme where participants are guided through different dimensions and have time for the learning to become an integral part of themselves.
Vehoma is for people who believe that leadership starts within, and that the only way to achieve a greater impact in the world is to work with yourself. This is done through a mix of dialogues, physical exercises, reflections and more, as well as a belief that the group evolves in symbiosis with each individual development. All this under the careful guidance of the experienced instructors who also bring their personal journey to the course, much to the inspiration of the rest.
Highly recommended and once you have experienced it, your perception of leadership, and self-understanding, will be changed forever!"
- Malte Holm
SVP Global Strategy & EMEA Lead
"After the first year of training, I feel the immense wisdom of the Indian practice of being with a deep respect and awe. The weight of Indian wisdom continues to impress me. The way the deepest essence of leadership, relationships, life, is unfolded feels both overwhelming and reassuring as I feel the tremendous wisdom that carries me and my fellow participants through the journey.
I experience a sense of standing within myself with a heightened awareness that helps me see a clearer picture of myself and the world around me. Vehoma constantly challenges me to see life through new lenses that reveal a world that only gets bigger, finer, and more complex as subtle energies - for example, in leadership and other relational dynamics - suddenly become visible and accessible.
I feel the evolution nudging me. After the first year of training, I find myself in a limbo where on the one hand I feel a deep inner peace, contentment and a clear direction, while on the other hand I experience the occasional (frequent) discomfort that arises when I suddenly see - or am made aware of - the dynamics I am unconsciously living out, but which have previously been invisible to me. The things that I was previously the subject of suddenly become visible, italicized - and thereby become an object that I can relate to and consciously move around with. This subject/object shift can feel uncomfortable, partly because with this increased awareness comes an enormous responsibility - for how could I continue to act out a destructive pattern with myself or with others when I can now see it so clearly? That's the journey.
And so, I build and expand my integrity and being, so that I can try to stand as in myself as a whole human being - and not just an unconscious, two-legged homo sapiens wandering the world.
With Vehoma, I can lean into a deep wisdom matured over many centuries, where I am surrounded by a trusting and strong network of fellow travelers. Together we are on an individual, vertical evolutionary journey where everyone is encouraged to broaden their perspectives and develop the ability to embrace - and navigate - the complexity of the universe."
