our mission:
To deepen emotional capacity and authentic connection through nature-based play. Shifting outdoor industry culture to normalize vulnerability, resilience, and holistic well-being. Bolstering community safety nets to understand and support our/others multi-faceted trials of trauma, loss, and grief experienced in the backcountry.
We aim to normalize more vulnerable, curious, authentic arrival in wild places. Bridging psychology, emotional depth, and playful adventure, Pretty Moving was founded by Jenn Fortin, an artist, guide, adventurer and researcher.
Weaving work in education, guiding, wilderness coaching, and a Master’s in Education and Play, she explores correlations between nature immersion, emotional intelligence and vulnerability, and community well-being. Through coaching and creative work, she aims to build more regulated, accepting communities.
Pretty Moving draws awareness to emotionally compelling and beautifully embodied experiences. Facilitating self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation: play confirms our innate powers of curiosity.
Currently based in Crested Butte, Pretty Moving is expanding to collaborate with guide outfitters and patrol teams across mountain communities worldwide.
