MORE THAN
A PLACE
A MINDSET

Going into the wilderness isn’t just an adventure, it’s an invitation to discover serenity, clarity, and a sense of self.

The extraordinary landscapes of the Alaska Range mountains are large enough to hold the raw, complex emotions that may arise during your journey. Landscapes where there is room for unrealized strengths and dormant passions to surface. Landscapes of ice, northern lights, and frozen waters serve as natural backdrops to learn more about yourself without influence from the outside world.

Trip
Highlights

Learn the benefits of our Alaska program

Work with your own sled dog team

Mushing is more than just an adventure, it’s an invitation to grow. Standing on the runners of the sled, you will learn to trust both yourself and your dogs. Here you can feel safe to experiment with boundaries and explore life on the trail.

Experience the great outdoors

Outdoor experiential therapy transcends the need to tell your story. The dogs and Mother Nature will meet you and accept you where you are.

Learn restorative techniques

As it is just as important as this trip, it is crucial to learn skill to cope and restore oneself beyond the sled. We are here to give you the tools to carry on after your journey with us.
