Shedding Mountain is a space for people who are tired of being misunderstood, and for those who are done hiding themselves to fit in. It exists for those who feel something true and alive inside them, and have never quite found the language, the safety, or the permission to show it. For those who want to unpack who they are — slowly, honestly, and without pretending — and share what they discover so others can finally see them. We believe that most harm in the world does not come from evil, yet from pain that was never understood. When people aren't seen, they harden. When they don’t feel safe, they protect themselves in ways that hurt others. "Hurt people, hurt people." In our eyes understanding and sharing how we became who we are is the beginning of changing how we treat each other. Shedding Mountain is about creating that understanding — in ourselves first, and then in the world. Through stories, conversations, and reflections, we invite people to explore how their nervous systems, histories, identities, and wounds shape the way they relate. Not to excuse harm, yet to see more clearly, so something new can become possible. This is an attempt to create a ripple: more curiosity instead of judgment, more listening instead of shutting people down, more compassion for ourselves and for those we don’t yet accept. Shedding Mountain is about owning who we truly are and integrating our flaws. It is about being real, daring to be seen — and create understanding.

These stories are free. They always will be. We don’t want money to decide who gets to be seen and heard. At the same time, Shedding Mountain can only exist if the people creating it are able to live. The filming, editing, hosting, and care behind these stories require time, energy, and skill. To support this, there will soon be a small shop with shirts and jumpers — a simple way to help this work continue. Donations are also deeply appreciated. Every contribution, no matter the size, keeps this space alive. What truly sustains Shedding Mountain, though, are the people behind the stories. Sharing here is not quick or casual. It asks for honesty, patience, and presence. It means showing up even when it feels uncomfortable. It means speaking what is real, even when your voice trembles. It means staying with your truth long enough for something meaningful to emerge. These stories can only be created with people who want to create them together — not for performance, not for exposure, not for perfection, yet because something inside them wants to be expressed and witnessed. Money keeps the project running. Dedication gives it meaning. If you feel the spark in your body and feel ready to share your truth, please don't hesitate to reach out. I trust that the right people will find their way here. If this specific offering doesn’t resonate, but you’d still like to work with me, you can find my other projects at:
