Nature Immersion in Beautiful Pisgah National Forest

Backpacking in Beautiful Pisgah National Forest

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Does life feel hectic? Out of balance? Are you feeling lost? We can help. Join us for this three-day trip backpacking retreat in Beautiful Pisgah National Forest.

Does it feel like no matter how hard you work, even more piles up behind it? Does it feel like no end is in sight? This backpacking retreat is for you! Visit the land of mile-high peaks, cascading waterfalls, and heavily forested slopes; in other words, solitude and splendor are found in the mountains of western North Carolina.

This trip designed for overachieving people in recovery to deepen their journey. It is a chance to both rest and challenge yourself; to uncover you next steps. The trip provides space and time to turn inward. It is a time to recharge while developing goals and building skills. Immersion in nature creates the perfect container for growth and healing. That is to say, unplug and build community. You will find yourself.

This trip would be a great beginning as part of the 6-Month Coaching program (coaching clients pay nothing to attend except for travels expenses). On the other hand, it can be a valuable introduction to the healing of nature on it own.

Find confidence as you build new skills in the many activities incorporated in the experience; challenge yourself and grow. Likewise, hands-on activities will be included each day, allowing individuals to challenge themselves. In fact, the skills gained transition well into everyday life. While engaged, participants will learn how to prepare for backpacking trips, nutrition, mindfulness, navigation skills, Leave No Trace, and more.

We will begin on the first morning with an opportunity to come together as a team, investigate the power of fire, and connect. Afterward, we will begin our journey in earnest. We wrap up the retreat on the afternoon of the third day with closing activities and ceremony.
