The first chapter is spent in the Trinity Alps, A wilderness area known for gorgeous high mountain lakes, massive granite walls, abundant rivers and streams, and meadows that cause a pause to take in the humbling beauty of nature.

A “daylong” solo is part of the backpacking portion, a time to encourage inquiry, depth, and integration.

The second chapter shifts us out to the coast where we trade our backpacks for surfboards and wetsuits. Full instruction is provided from the beginner level. All gear is provided, no experience is necessary.

Circles, campfires, one-on-one mentoring, and adventure come together to support a highly supportive environment in which to develop trust, self-sufficiency, and confidence in themselves
