"While communities of outdoor sports athletes are tight-knit, we rarely have the opportunity to process grief and loss in a focused environment. Working through the tough realities of the activities we love amongst peers, learning more about my body and mind, and finding an elevated openness and peace within a managed environment was an invaluable experience. I left with many emotional and cognitive tools, as well as the motivation to use them." -Retreat Participant
