Since I live in a foggy, generally cool city, I looooooovvved being outside as much as possible in the warm dry heat of a new ecosystem. I appreciated so much the variety of outdoor activities and getting a chance to have the land wash over me. Don’t change a thing. -Jack N

Brave conversations
Frontier Retreat opens space to ask yourself life-changing questions, and to gain insights through connection with like-minded friends. You’ll have conversations you wish you‘d had with yourself years ago.
Marc and Hannah take great care to create a safe space for conversation and to make sure you feel welcomed, seen, heard, and safe to explore what holds you back, to empower you to open new doors in your life. This is where we begin being more brave, and where joyful courage is born.
I loved the conversation, and found myself being surprisingly candid with people I didn’t know well. Trust-building out of the gate was amazing. -Jack N.
I have told several people that this was a life-changing experience, one that reinvigorated and re-energized me. I came back to work feeling Zen and more like myself than I had felt in years. I had more patience and more empathy, more passion and focus. If anyone is yearning to feel those things, to connect with others or reconnect with themselves, this retreat is a great way to do that. -Sara U
