WHY RETREAT?
LIFELONG FRIENDSOur retreats create space for the group to bond through common interests and ideals. They are designed to create opportunities for personal growth alongside like-minded people who take on supporting roles, helping the crew grow as one. These people can become lifelong friends who you'll want to stay connected with for years to come!
|
HEALTHY ME TIMEWith a myriad of self-care techniques taught at each retreat, you will also receive space for you. At Hike & Heal Wellness we focus on the whole individual, which is why the word heal ("to become whole") is in our name. Besides group activities, you'll have time to be with your thoughts and reconnect to the real you. Become healthier in all areas of your life!
|
BOND IN NATURE"Nature is the healer, the guide opens the door." You will activate all of your senses and connect internally on levels many of us tend to ignore. With a deeper relationship to our natural world, you will find yourself more creative and compassionate, less stressed, living mindfully in the present moment, and moving slower to fully appreciate life.

IT’S A PROCESS
Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.
-Benjamin Franklin
Mr. Franklin couldn't have said it better. His words are exactly how we feel about the human brain. While we teach all learning styles, our process is heavily focused on doing. Did you notice that the all-inclusive section above used action words? That is because in order to achieve life-change, you must be willing to take action. Our process includes the three simple steps outlined below:
C O M M I TFirst, you will make a commitment to yourself by setting an intention for the retreat. Initially a personal endeavor, individuals will be prompted to share with the group to establish a network of support. This is your starting point for your personal growth journey.
|
E X P LO R EThe bulk of the retreat will be spent on self-exploration through personal and group initiatives led by certified instructors. You will play, build community, learn new self-care techniques, immerse yourself in nature and awaken your full potential.
|
C E L E B R A T EThroughout your experience with us, there may be challenges to overcome. The human mind, body and spirit can go through immense changes in a short period of time. You will learn to acknowledge, anchor and celebrate your successes... big or small!

Customize Your WellnessWith safety being a top priority in all of our programming, we are now offering you the chance to customize mini, half-day, full-day or multi-day retreats. In light of COVID-19, we are changing how we operate. Instead of only creating public events, we are now encouraging you to create your own. We think it's a win-win-win. You get to choose who is there, creating a safer environment for all to heal in. It is also a win for us because we know you are already comfortable with one another. You decide the details and we will coordinate with you to make it happen. Weekends are preferred.

Creating fun, spirit-lifting experiences that help you grow as an individual while enhancing group connection. Learn how to trust your intuition, step out of your comfort zone and try something new! We can even help your group process life's toughest obstacles like suicide, death, or abuse to name a few. Ask and you shall receive.
