Frequently Asked Questions

ĀTMA is a climbing-inspired coaching and lifestyle platform rooted in presence, movement, and connection with nature. We offer coaching (indoors and outdoors), climbing retreats, bouldering camps, sustainable clothing, and personal training for climbers of all levels. We serve climbers across Europe with coaching, bouldering camps in Fontainebleau, and eco-conscious climbing apparel.

Our base is in the Netherlands, where we run and operate the Wildflower Climbing Gym — a vibrant space for movement, training, and community. It’s where we host indoor sessions, meet our coaching clients, and stay connected to our climbing roots. Beyond that, our camps and events take place in various outdoor locations, especially in Fontainebleau, France.

Nature is part of the experience. We embrace the unpredictability by adapting with alternative movement sessions, workshops, walks in the forest, or indoor bouldering in one of Fontainebleau’s climbing gyms when available.

Ātma (Sanskrit: आत्मा) means “soul” or “true self”, and in some traditions, it is also interpreted as the “soul of the universe.” It reflects our commitment to living and climbing with presence, intention, and integrity, and to honoring the deeper connection between self, nature, and others.
