Welcome to Mountain Spirit New Zealand

Our mission: to facilitate one’s connection to self, each other and the environment.

Participants on our programs have a greater appreciation, and understanding of their own resources, of other individuals around them, as well as a better sense of their place in the natural world. Self reliance, compassion, service, centeredness, physical fitness and interpersonal community-building, as well as caring for, and understanding of the natural environment, are hallmarks of our mission.

We're a hybrid, a cross between an experiential wilderness program, such as Outward Bound, and a holistic learning centre, with a continuum of elements from both experiential education and spiritual development. Some programs are solely wilderness and mountain based, while others are workshop based, but both have their roots in our unique mission.

MSI is committed to raising public awareness of environmental issues that directly affect our lives, such as global climate change, peak oil and sustainable living. See our programs.
