The Vision
I’ve stood on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon gazing in awe at its vastness twice, but until recently I’d never ventured inside to fully experience all of what lies below. For many people, it’s the same with the inner experience of connecting with ourselves. We know there is something deep inside us, but we are either too complacent or too afraid to go there to find out. Imagine the aliveness you’d feel as you descend to the bottom of the Grand Canyon while at the same time connecting with the very deepest parts of yourself.
This is your call to adventure. Applications are now being accepted to join me in this unique and transformational three-month mastermind where we’ll do BOTH! Literally. We’ll go to the bottom of the Grand Canyon AND into the depths of our own selves! It’s a union of the inner and outer experience. You will be challenged by nature, your body, mind and heart. There will be unexpected guides that appear along the way to help. And best of all, we’ll go through it together as a small, intimate group. Can you imagine saying “YES” to adventure and going deep into the unknown to work through struggle? How will you emerge?
Over the course of three months, we’ll meet online regularly to prepare and reflect on our physical journey, while also experiencing an even more transformational inner journey. As a highlight of our time together, we’ll hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon on a professionally guided, two-night backpacking trip followed by two additional nights of “glamping” safari style at the one of a kind, Under Canvas Resort. We’ll uncover and work through limiting beliefs and develop increased self-awareness. We’ll encourage one another, grow together and become a foundational support group that we’ll be able to connect back to for the rest of our lives.
Are you ready for adventure?

Who is this for?
If you are reading this and experiencing both fear and wonder, intrigue and intimidation, curiosity and doubt, then this might be exactly what you need. During the backpacking journey, we’ll be hiking approximately 16 miles dropping almost 5000 feet into the canyon and back out over three days all while carrying gear. It is a difficult and strenuous hike that will require an appropriate level of fitness and athleticism. The mastermind discussions will work best for those with a deep desire to grow, a supportive and encouraging spirit, vulnerability and commitment to the group. Your willingness to get comfortable with the uncomfortable is the key. If this sounds like you, click below to complete the application and lets talk!
