Journeys into
the wild.
Work that stays
with you.
Guided backcountry canoe expeditions rooted in challenge, presence, and connection to the living land.
These are not vacations — they are adventures that ask something of you, and give something back.
When we step into wild places, the land begins to work on us.
The pace slows. The noise fades. What matters becomes clear.
My trips are designed as intentional journeys — blending physical movement, time on the land, honest conversation, and simple ritual.
You don’t need to be “spiritual.” You just need to be willing to show up, pay attention, and meet yourself where you are.
The Why
Why go into the wilderness at all?
Because wild places still ask something of us.
Out here, the noise drops away.
There’s no performance, no constant input, no room to hide behind roles or routines.
The land has a way of stripping things back to what’s real — effort, attention, relationship, and choice.
These trips aren’t about escape or adrenaline.
They’re about remembering how to move, listen, and live in right relationship — with the land, with others, and with yourself.
Whether you come alone, with a group, or as part of a team, the wilderness becomes the teacher.
My role is to guide the journey, hold the container, and help you meet what’s already there.
What To Expect
Clear structure. Honest challenge. Real support.
Every trip is different, but there are a few things you can count on:
-
Thoughtfully designed routes that balance challenge, beauty, and safety
-
Excellent, nourishing food sourced with care — because how we eat matters
-
Time on the water and in camp to settle the nervous system and reconnect with your body
-
Guided practices and conversations that support introspection, reflection, clarity, and integration
-
A grounded, respectful group culture — no bravado, no forced vulnerability
This is not a retreat where you’re told what to feel or who to become.
And it’s not a survival exercise meant to break you down.
This is an invitation into presence, challenge, responsibility, and relationship — with yourself, with others, and with the living world around you.
Some people leave with answers.
Most leave with better questions, a steadier center, and a deeper sense of what matters.
If something within you recognises the potential, you'll likely know which path to take next:
