Those who embark on this journey will discover the tools to confront their doubts and fears in the sacred space the island offers.

Encounter Kauai’s Wilderness Awareness retreat enables spiritual adventure seekers the opportunity to improve their leadership skills and self-confidence through exploration and education.

On this retreat participants will sharpen their instincts and creative perceptions by pushing the limits of their fears and abilities calling upon untapped reserves of courage and perseverance.

As is often the case, success requires the help of the group, fostering a sense of compassion and unity. This retreat is based on experiential education, problem solving, and survival, allowing the island of Kauai to be the head teacher.

The situations and consequences are real, creating a sense of respect, responsibility, self-reliance, and satisfaction. Some of the challenges we will face may include: leaping off of a 35-foot cliff into the ocean, learning how to trust and let go while surfing, or night diving with sharks.

We facilitate personal transformation by cultivating undiscovered potential and recognizing spontaneous opportunities for learning. All you need is a curious mind and a spirit of adventure.

Our definition of wilderness is a place in nature where people are not in control.
