"Civilization may be the greatest bait-and-switch that ever was. It
convinces us to destroy what is free so an overpriced, inferior copy can be sold to us later — often financed with the money we've earned hastening the destruction of the
free version."
-Christopher Ryan
Three Primary Connection
COMMUNITY
The wild animal lives fully present—unburdened by the past, unconcerned with the future. As humans, our minds drift across time, a gift that often leaves us lost in thought and joy out of reach. Over this weekend, you will be guided back to presence, awakening your senses and reclaiming the art of being truly alive. In stillness and movement, reflection and breath, we will anchor the spirit to the beauty of now, rediscovering the simple power of what it means to just be.
COMMUNITY
has traded tribe for isolation, this retreat offers the chance to rekindle the bonds that make us human. Gathered around shared meals and shared purpose, we’ll weave connections that go beyond words, embracing the ancient rhythm of community. Together, we will create a space where strangers become kin, and the essence of tribe—once lost—finds its way back into our hearts.
COMMUNITY
The natural world reveals a truth that cannot be denied: you cannot fake your place within it. Can you make the jump? Can you hold your breath that long? These are questions the wild asks of you, and only honest effort will answer. Over this weekend, we will return to this realm of undeniable clarity, where every step, every breath, and every action is rooted in reality. Walking the earth with intention, we’ll reconnect to the pulse of nature, where life’s rhythms guide us and the physical world reminds us of our place in something ancient, unyielding, and true.

"Coming into the weekend, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but by the end, I was blown away by the camaraderie and challenges we faced together. Learning to climb for the first time, hiking waterfalls, and pushing through freezing rivers showed me just how capable I am with the right support. It completely changed how I view fitness—it’s about moving your body in new ways, connecting with nature, and building strength with a tribe. Truly eye-opening."
— Phil, Insurance Professional
"The weekend was a transformative experience. I came in with a loose idea of what to expect, but it ended up being much more than just physical challenges—it was about creating a tribe, reconnecting with nature, and simplifying life. The shared moments, especially over the home-cooked meals with great people, were incredibly meaningful. It was a powerful reminder of how much we miss in our everyday lives by not connecting over simple, genuine experiences.”
— Rami, Exercise Physiologist
"Standing under the waterfall with the group, shouting together, and seeing a pelican fly by was surreal. It was a moment that couldn’t have been planned, but it felt absolutely perfect. The entire weekend was filled with these raw, magical moments that brought us closer to ourselves, the group, and the land around us."
