ARE YOU READY TO FEEL LIKE YOU CAN DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING??

Many people are looking for ways to add more self-confidence, self-reliance, and better health to their lives. Although there are many ways to do this, few are as rewarding as spending time in nature scratching “Do something amazing!” off your bucket list.

So how do you do that?

Simple. If you are FINALLY ready to create an empowered life and feel strong, you are cordially invited to Transform your life through Walking, Hiking, and Backpacking!

The “WildWood Magic Backpacking Bootcamp 5-day One-on-One Intensive” is designed to teach you all the practical skills to gain genuine self-confidence, challenge yourself, and have a truly satisfying sense of personal accomplishment that is nothing short of life-changing.

Backpacking is a wonderous way to explore our natural, wild places. There is no smartphone app that can replace the sensation of being completely self-reliant in the magic of the outdoors. Whether you are preparing to head out with a group of friends on a weekend backpacking trip or on an inspiring solo journey, being prepared and having the ability to handle most any situation you are likely to encounter, is self-empowering and well worth the effort to learn.

After years of planning, learning, and researching to create a safe and worthwhile program, I am thrilled to share this remarkable experience. Five all-inclusive days of practical, hands-on… survival skills, medicinal/edible plant identification, confidence-building, backpacking magic as a sacred celebration of nature, while practicing the world’s best natural movement…the art of Walking As A Sacred Practice in the backcountry. Oh yeah… lots of laughter and fun, too!

Our one-on-one VIP program will be held at the breathtaking Pisgah Inn (www.pisgahinn.com), a most wonderfully perfect venue to guarantee an amazing event, only 25 miles southwest of Asheville, N.C., along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. With its’ luxury accommodations, magnificent food, and million-dollar views, the real beauty of this particular location is that it is located right along a truly spectacular section of the Mountains-to-Sea trail (MST), that meanders across the entire state of North Carolina from Clingmans Dome in the Smokies, to the Outer Banks. One of my additional goals is to draw attention to this extraordinary long-distance trail and help support a local treasure (www.mountainstoseatrail.org).

So, how does it work?

↠We will have five days and four nights of experiential One-on-One backcountry intensive training together.

↠The first three days and nights we will explore the area by day-hiking to our “classrooms,” where we will practice with various styles of high-quality, brand-new backpacking gear.

↠This is an all-inclusive program- All accommodations, all meals and snacks, all backpacking gear for demonstrations as well as use on the overnight backpacking trip, all backpacking food, and fuel are included.

↠We will have daily demonstrations about different methods of backpacking and many detailed discussions, from “luxury” hiking to ultralight, and everything in between. (See specific course modules here)

↠The fourth night we head out on an overnight backpacking trip on the MST with all your new knowledge, favorite new gear, and delicious, (and healthy!) backpacking meals we create together, for a truly magical evening in the woods, complete with fire ceremony. (This is a genuinely lovely section of trail – gentle and moderate, with plenty of crystal-clear water, where medicinal/edible plants flourish, and an enchanted fairy-forest campsite…Seriously!!!)

The Inn closes for the season at the end of October and reopens April 1^st. I am now booking reservations beginning in April/May 2020 for ONE person OR save $1,000 by having this amazing experience with a friend (A potential future backpacking partner would be ideal!)

If the upcoming cool, autumn weather with beautiful leaf colors is more your style, I have one (or two if you wish to bring a friend) booking available before they close for the season in October. The only booking available is Monday, October 7^th-Friday, October 11^th.

Backpacking can be the most awe-inspiring adventure ever. It can also be a total nightmare when attempted without proper planning and preparation. Since safety and comfort are chief concerns, your knowledge, skills, and the gear you choose to take with you into the backcountry, is of greatest importance. You may quite possibly arrive a backpacking “newbie” but, you will walk away a fully experienced badass backpacker…. guaranteed.
