5 Day Backcountry Expedition For Men
THE WHY
To immerse ourselves in the crucible of wilderness & brotherhood

This 5-day expedition invites you to step into the raw beauty & wildness of the Canadian Shield, where the newly thawed landscape echoes your potential for inner growth & rebirth.
We journey together as men, intentionally, to reconnect with our authentic selves, activate our inner power, deepen our connection to the rhythms of Earth, and forge deep bonds of brotherhood.
Experience the power of ceremony, intention, connection, and adventure amidst the breathtaking beauty of Algonquin Park.
On this professionally guided expedition, you will discover new depths of resilience, presence, and clarity.
