At Expedition Recovery, we guide high-performing professionals who are craving more meaning, more balance, and more realness. Whether you’re in recovery or not, you deserve a life that feels aligned, alive, and truly yours.

Nature Immersions
Few experiences offer the same blend of solitude, challenge, and deep connection as a multi-day backpacking journey. These immersive adventures create space for reflection, growth, and meaningful connection—with both nature and community. Our sober backpacking outings combine outdoor skill-building with teamwork, self-discovery, and the chance to push beyond your comfort zone. In the stillness of the wilderness, clarity emerges. Goals become more tangible. And the path forward begins to reveal itself.
