We aim to normalize more vulnerable, curious, authentic arrival in wild places. Founded by Jenn Fortin, Pretty Moving bridged psychology, emotional depth, and playful adventure.
As an artist, guide, adventurer and researcher, she weaves work in education, guiding, wilderness coaching, with a Master’s in Education and Play. Exploring correlations between nature, bilateral stimulation, 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 mountain professional teams, guide outfitters, and patrollers across mountain communities across the state.
