TRUE experiences
Coming soon
Nature offers us so much: it's a place where we can escape the stressors of everyday life, where we feel more connected, were we can experience awe-inspiring scenery, where we can challenge ourselves in our search for inner power and confidence, where we can heal, and we where we get to experience the universe in all its splendor. Whether you're walking a trail in dense oxygen-rich forests, sitting beside a cascading mountain stream, sleeping under the milky way, or stepping up onto a rocky or snow covered peak - you can't help but walk away from an experience outdoors feeling refreshed and renewed and better able to live your life more centered and more empowered.
​
True North experience provides an opportunity for you to learn new skills and gain new experiences outdoors. Each of our experiences will include virtual instruction on everything from leave no trace, to training and nutrition for alpine exploration.
Our Experiences
Our outdoor experiences are about connection to Nature and other, and orienting yourself towards your True North - your Spirit. Spirit is the driver, Nature is the teacher and guide, and the Physical is the result.
​
How does this translate into an actual outdoor experience?
​
Take one of our day hikes as an example.
On a group day hike, before we head down the trail, you will learn very simple, yet powerful tools to keep you heart-centered which will allow for healthy connections. During the hike you will learn how powerful remaining present in the current moment can be through simple mindfulness focused exercises and conversation. At the destination you will learn how to connect to your Higher Self (Spirit), to the Earth, and to the Divine through guided meditation. Depending on the group that day, we may incorporate a healing circle or a sharing circle or other activities that can bring about powerful growth and healing.
​
Each experience we offer is designed to be different and provide a unique experience to the individual and group.
​
True North experiences will all be oriented towards finding connection and the integration of mind, body, and spirit. A few examples of our offerings:
