A Backpacking Adventure or Restful Retreat
That Invites YOU to… reWILD, reCONNECT, reGENERATE.
Traveling into the backcountry of Montana with a small group of fellow change~makers, to reconnect with the primal elements of your nature, tune-in with the natural world, and forge collective resiliency TOGETHER. This journey starts with The Training Phase (virtual support group to prepare), hits The Trail Experience (hiking or staying at a cabin venue in the woods), and ends after returning home, with The Trip Integration (virtual support group to continue strengthening resilience back in the machine world).

What have you learned or gained from the experience?
We are all nature, we come from the elements. We are a collection of microscopic cells that perceive the world… This gave me an interconnection to the world. Reminding me to slow down and align with the seasons and pace of nature.
