Adult Programs
Experiential and Educational Programs for ages 18 +
“Your program has given me a community of people who share my passion for nature and the sacred. In addition I feel a greater sense of purpose with the many other communities of which I am a part.” Participant, The Art of Ritual Leadership 2009

Our adult programs, for ages 18 and older, grew out of the strong need we saw to guide adults through their own rites of passage – for transition does not, of course, end at age 18 (in many ways, it just begins!). Our adult programs include solo time, time in nature, powerful ritual and ceremony, and individual and community mentorship and reflection. Our powerful program design includes preparatory activities, a pre-program meeting, and post-program opportunities to reconnect and renew.
The time that we are living in now requires a deep sense of self, community, place and the sacred – the very basis on which all of our programs are designed. Experiences with us foster the presence necessary for authentic connections, which are essential in our communities, families, friendships and relationships with all beings. |

All of our programs are led by a team of exceptional wilderness guides, able to move smoothly from practical details of safe wilderness living, to exploring the interpersonal relationships involved in community living, to the soul-centered and intuitive aspects of the sacred work of solo quests. With a ratio of 3:1 participant to mentor, each participant has a chance to connect through regular one-on-one conversations, and have time for individual attention and reflective conversation. |
