Nature's Calling
A Mindful Outdoor Discovery & Adventure for Men
Welcome to a retreat where we aren't retreating from anything. Instead, we are immersing and emerging. We learn the practice of leaning into the hard and uncomfortable shit (mental, emotional, physical , spiritual, relational). We connect with both the beauty and unforgiving nature of, well... NATURE, while emerging more confident, connected, and complete.
Your Trail Map
Many folks come to us feeling disconnected, lost, confused, stressed, discontent, etc. That's understandable with the many mixed messages abundantly circulating. At the root of our work is knowing one self, what's truly important, and learning how to effectively navigate your life to prioritize and move toward what is truly important.
We are not teaching anyone how to be men. Instead, we’re providing each person the skills, space, and opportunity to connect with who you really are- your true and authentic identity, as well as connect with other guys in a meaningful way. In order to do that, you’ll first need to shed the bullshit facade that’s been carried around for much of your life out of concern for being misinterpreted, disliked, or less valued. The facade was birthed in fear and inadequate modeling. Here, we ground ourselves in facts of the present, separating from stories formed from repetitious patterns of past experiences and predictions of the future to avoid discomfort or pain. We can do hard things, and we need discomfort. The past is informative, but not prescriptive. I wager most of us have spent some portion of our lives walking around not really recognizing who we are at our core, or at least not confidently owning that identity. Here, there is absolutely no proving yourself to anyone but yourself.
Within the setting of our original habitat (NATURE), we’ll immerse ourselves in this healing, majestic, and brutally honest place, in order to emerge more confident and complete, humble and secure, vulnerable and strong.
In this immersion, you can expect to learn about yourself, connect with other humans and the abundant life in nature, learn to navigate the world and relationships differently. You’ll be guided in mindful and meditative practices, gratitude And intention setting, and basic skills for surviving in nature. We’ll be using Mindful Response Method and mindful nature immersion as foundations for learning.
