There is only one life you can call your own
and a thousand others you can call by any name you want.

—David Whyte

Wild Purpose.

Alpine Retreat

 

A guided overnight (1.5-day) men’s backcountry Self and Soul discovery adventure deep in the coastal mountains of British Columbia.

During our time together, we will blend physical exploration with inner work to uncover new possibilities for showing up differently in our lives. This program offers the opportunity to explore the limits of your physical and psychospiritual potential in a safe and supported environment.

Location: Backcountry camping, accessed through Sea To Sky Gondola (lift access included in fee)

 

A soul-oriented life provides you with a sense of aliveness, meaning, and wonder.

 

Who the weekend is for:

A man seeking to clarify the next steps on their journey. Maybe you have patterns repeating, or desire a (renewed) sense of meaning, energy, and purpose to their work. Begin exploring your life purpose (your one true life) while reconnecting to nature.

Explore:

  • Social acceptance and the authentic self

  • Soul purpose vs. vocation

  • Slowing down, using nature as a mirror for self-healing

  • The call to living a life of intention

  • Tracking the threads of your story

follow the compass of your heart through inner and outer wilderness.


 

To someone hesitant to “say yes,” know that you are worthy and now is the time. Know that there is strength and courage to show up for yourself, trusting in the unknown. You will be endlessly supported in reclaiming your true authentic place, interconnected within your family, community and natural world, with soulful purpose. Understand that at the outset you will not know who you will be at the end of your unique journey, but surrendering will be the best decision I invite you to make.

Next date to be announced

Program begins at 9 am on Saturday and wraps by 5 pm on Sunday.

Participants meet at the base of the Sea to Sky Gondola, located North of Squamish, BC. After introductions and a quick equipment check you will upload on the gondola. The approach hike takes two to three hours to our alpine basecamp.
