Women: Could you use some fresh air and a getaway? If yes, I’m looking for you.

April 28th, 2021

“Getting lost was not a matter of geography so much as identity, a passionate desire, even an urgent need, to become no one and anyone, to shake off the shackles that remind you who you are, who others think you are.” ― Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

This message is for anyone and everyone. But it’s especially for women.

I don’t know about you, but especially after COVID19 and the last 12 months, I could use a break. A change of scenery. Some fresh air and some quiet. A few days of not being needed by anyone.

Would you like to get away from the pressures and trappings of your life and work–just for a few days? How about some time in the wilderness where you’re not available to anyone but yourself?

You could hike to the top of a mountain or walk in a river through a canyon whose walls tower 1,500’ above you? Or you could simply linger in a beautiful place, take in the scenery, clear your mind, and dream.

Imagine hearing nothing, absolutely nothing, but the songs of birds and maybe a babbling brook from a nearby stream.

If any of this sounds enticing, then I’m looking for you. I’m offering inspiring, unforgettable, and fun Epic Adventure programs, bundled with coaching in the months leading up to, and post-adventure.

If you’d like to experience my remote and spectacularly scenic backyard, Wyoming’s Wind River Range, or have an Epic experience in one of the most unique and beautiful national parks in the world, please message me.

Right now, I’ve got a few spots left in my Epic Women September 22-26 Zion National Park program, and in my October 13-17 program. I’m also recruiting for a backpacking/mountain-climbing trip in the Wind River Range of Wyoming that’s in the latter part of July.

If none of those sound enticing, I can provide a customized program for just you, or for you and your special tribe, that will be epic, inspiring, restorative, fun, and unforgettable. Email me for more information and/or to schedule a call.

Here, you aren’t needed by anyone but yourself.

Climb a mountain or two with me. “You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.” ― René Daumal

Zion National Park. Enjoy epic day hikes that provide hard-earned views like this one, and then enjoy luxurious hotel lodging every night.

Let me take you on some of the most unforgettable hikes you’ve ever been on, including The Narrows in Zion National Park.

And, also, on the topic of the pandemic and the way the last 12 months have left many of us feeling, I want to include links to two insightful articles–one was written recently Adam Grant (Wharton professor and author of three books I highly recommend, including, Give and Take, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, and his recent book, Think Again) and the other was written by Austin Kleon (author of Steal Like An Artist).

I’m Not Languishing, I’m Dormant, by Austin Kleon.

NOTE: If you’re interested in working with a coach, or could just use a sounding board and some support right now, I’m offering a free, no obligation 1-hour call. In the meantime, you can watch a video I had produced during the pandemic that features several men and women I’ve worked with, who share some of their thoughts on what it’s like to work with me.
