“Going into the wilderness with a tribe benefits the mind, body, & spirit. Being outside together is important. Our ancestors knew the power of nature, the energy gained during retreat & solitude, and the life-changing ability of spiritual awakenings. Your life is a story, not a series of to-do’s. The locations we travel will leave an impact on your soul and psyche.”

“… putting words to things that I do, especially coming from [those] guys (who put things like this to the absolute test) it just makes me more confident.”

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Before I went on the trip I was feeling myself going down a dark path and I didn’t know a way back… I can now see the terrible decisions I was making. I can also see what I need to do going forward for my recovery”

“I’ve found a special place with Warrior Adventures. Being able to learn, guides, and watch others grow through adversity with peer support has been extremely rewarding.”

“I never thought that I would be comfortable or would benefit from a group setting...I was very wrong. I found this program extremely helpful. The guides were knowledgeable and provided some very insightful tools to work with. Making the link between “life” and the “river” (ie. taking that eddy to break things down and reassess) really stuck with me. Also very helpful was the fact that we had a great group of people with whom I was able to have meaningful conversations without ever feeling as I was being judged”
