3 Day, 2 Night Wilderness

Emersion Weekend in

Canyon Country of the Southwest

 

Male-identifying youth, ages 14-18 and 19-26 (Courses will run according to age group).

 

The essence of a Wild Heart Warrior Weekend is simple: young men and mentors spending time in the desert around a fire, on the trail, in a connected group space, exploring and experiencing ourselves and nature, as nature.

​

We explore healthy and unhealthy aspects of what some call “masculinity,” as well as our own healthy inner feminine qualities. Through outdoor adventure and unique mind-body lessons, we build a balance of strength and sensitivity that will serve ourselves, others, and the wider world. 

 

We feel confident that just going to even one Wild Heart Warrior Weekend has the power to positively orient your life.
