About
The group aims to embody a collective spirit that cultivates character traits fundamental to living a meaningful and purpose driven life. These character qualities are honesty, willingness, courage, humility, integrity, kindness, responsibility, compassion, love, and discipline.
At the end of the trip, you will
• Have a clear sense of your call to adventure. A new direction, what you know you need to do ie: changing, enhancing, or repairing a relationship, changing careers/jobs, moving cities among other possibilities. Simply, we commit to a decision.
• Developed a map/picture that reveals the unknowns and potential roadblocks of this decision. For example, What will this entail? What do I need to confront? What am I hiding from? We befriend, tame, and subdue our fears/dragons, thus integrating and alchemizing the energy of fear into courage and purpose.
• We practice and begin to integrate the fundamental skills necessary to stay on the path of our new journey.
• With our new map, new skills, we clarify how to navigate the unfamiliar terrain, potential obstacles, and the new challenges that will arise.
• We outline a daily practice to cultivate our new way of being and to develop a sustainable sense of resilience and well-being.
