Exploring the outdoors—whether through hiking, backpacking, or mountain summits—requires more than just a love for adventure. Without proper training, the physical and mental demands can feel overwhelming, leading to exhaustion, frustration, and even injury.
“I didn’t know what to expect. Looking back at my experience, I feel it was good and came with challenges from nature (weather) that was out of our control. Really helped me prepare next time on what I need to bring and what wasn’t necessary. Indian Heaven Wilderness was absolutely beautiful.”
“This weekend backpacking retreat was held in such a beautiful location and group was warm and supportive. It was so helpful to have instruction and support. Grateful to both you, Neo and Amanda for helping me with my pack and the weight of it and tent set up ect., having transportation was an added bonus too.” -Pauline-
Reflecting on past backpacking retreats fills my heart with gratitude! The healing, connection, and sense of community that blossomed on the trail were truly a gift. Each journey was more than just miles hiked—it was a space for deep self-discovery, growth, and shared experiences in the wild. Thank you to every soul who showed up with an open heart, ready to play, heal, and embrace the wisdom of nature. Here's to more adventures, more transformation, and more moments of magic on the trail! 🌿🏔️✨
