  • Access and training with new, high-quality backpacking gear made by reputable companies
  • An intimate experience (1-4 women max), so that your specific issues and concerns are covered in detail…something that usually doesn’t happen in large group environments
  • An all-inclusive program… All accommodations, all meals and snacks, all backpacking gear for demonstration, as well as for use on our backpacking trip, all backpacking food, and fuel are included
  • My very own custom-created “yoga for hikers,” meditation practices every day (optional)
  • Ceremonies and magical rituals, including a Fire ceremony on our two-night/three-day backpacking trip

 

This 7-day Intensive Program is the culmination of 22+ years of the trials and errors of backcountry experience, long-distance hiking, and extensive training.

 

 

Who is this for? 

Designed for those who are ready to take your love of nature to a whole new level, whether you are a total hiking newbie or have spent a night or two in the woods.  This course is taught one-on-one and in very small groups (1 – 4 max) to dive deep into the right skills for YOU to become a competent backpacker and practice the skills you most want to learn.  You will have access to different kinds of gear, from luxury-comfort to ultralight, so you can experiment with common systems and can make qualified decisions about equipment.

 

On day four, we will pack for a two-night/three-day backpacking trip together, choosing the gear you most want to experiment with on the trail, and I will be there with you to make sure you know how to operate and implement everything correctly.  You will be ready to go out on your own, if you wish, by the end of this transformational experience, completely self-assured, prepared, and a confident Backpacker. Guaranteed.

 

 

How does it work? 

We will have seven days/six nights of experiential Backpacking as a Sacred Practicetraining together. Four nights will be spent in a well-appointed lodge while taking day-hikes to beautiful locations to demonstrate various types of hiking equipment in the field, detailed discussions, as well as a variety of meditations and rituals.  Together we will prepare for a three-day/two-night backpacking trip, using all your newly enhanced backpacking skills and your new favorite gear.  On the last night, we will have a magical Fire Ceremony to celebrate your transformational accomplishment!
