A personalized Growth Experience in the Wilderness
Wilderness Directions is a one-on-one, or two-on-one wilderness experience focused entirely on one's personal growth. It is an intensive experience that provides clarity and direction for those trying to bring about change in life and career. It can be used to enhance and support one's current growth, or serve as a singular life-changing experience. Wilderness Directions is an effective tool for self-reflection, metaphor, and healing. Outings are created based on the needs of the individual. They range between 1 and 7 days long and take place in a location that is most appropriate for the need of the client.
What You can Expect From a Wilderness Directions Experience:
- Complete attention to supporting your personal growth.
- A safe, thoughtful, and dynamic approach.
- Pre and post experience support.
- Integration of Gestalt Psychology, Life-Coaching and Wilderness Guiding.
- Contemplative experiences.
- Instruction of basic wilderness skills (if appropriate).
