ABOUT THE ROUTE
-
By pushing yourself with a group of supportive others. 3 workshops included plus an ongoing container of safety, belonging, expressive openness, and vulnerability.
-
All the while, on a mission to make it to camp.
-
When we shake the mundane & break weekly patterns, it offers us the space to check-in with ourselves, our habits & our lifestyle.
-
Both incredibly profound and stupidly simple, this recipe has been battle tested for millennia. Highly effective.
-
Earth has healing properties, our job is to get out of her way and allow.
-
We believe that you are your own best teacher, guide & healer. Our facilitation methods are rooted in Adventure Education best practices— including mindfulness coaching, eco-therapy, neuro-anthropology & stoicism.
Let nature do the work
Meals are nourishing, hearty & well deserved
