Overwhelming enlightening. In everyday life you don’t often have time to listen to body, mind and spirit. The wilderness experience allowed me to chance to get back to listening to myself. It gave me permission to let go and feel emotions that I have buried down for months. It freed me from myself.”

Beneficiary

“Absolutely wonderful some searching experience. I’ve learned so much about myself and ways to take this learning back with me to America.”
