Therapeutic Adventure Work – Transformation Through Relationship

This is an opportunity for you to get a little more comfortable with discomfort. This process is rooted in curiosity and consistency. Activity-based groups lay the groundwork. Each day, we check in with where we’re at – this sets the baseline for what comes next. Whatever you’re bringing with you each day is where we start. We’ll lean into that anxiety around a connecting with your parents or partner; that excitement about a 2nd or 3rd chance at work or school you didn’t think you’d get; those doubts in the pit of your stomach about what’s coming next.

What is Therapeutic Adventure?

Therapeutic adventure offers practical tools to counter challenging self-talk, impulsive decision making, and low self-esteem. Our program and team helps identify areas of strength and resilience. We’ll help you develop relationships that support and maintain healthy living – with yourself and others. We’re asking you to do difficult things. We’re asking you to change. And we’re asking you to let us be a part of that. It’s a big ask. We believe intentional time in nature is an effective way to bring about change. We believe adventure based activities facilitate this change. We believe that regular, real-world integration opportunities establish solid footing for healthy living.
