Deposit (Wilderness Self-Discovery)
Secure Your Spot in the Wilderness Self-Discovery Backpacking Retreat
This $500 non-refundable deposit reserves your place in our exclusive 7-day Wilderness Self-Discovery Backpacking Retreat, taking place July 19–26 in Paonia, Colorado, and the surrounding Raggeds Mountain Wilderness.
Led by IFS-trained life coach Conor McMillen, embodiment and wayfinder coach Arlyn Alderdice, Wilderness First Responder David Alderdice, and supported by pantarei practitioner Ishaiah McMillen, this intimate retreat (limited to 11 participants) blends the physical challenge of backpacking with Internal Family Systems-inspired self-discovery, embodiment practices, music sessions, and deep nature immersion. You'll hike multi-mile trails, set up camp, and engage in guided check-ins, life coaching conversations, and flexible options for challenge or reflection—all designed to build resilience, clarity, and lasting personal growth.
Your deposit holds your spot pending application approval and will be fully applied to your total balance upon acceptance. It is non-refundable (except in the rare case of application denial), as we plan carefully for our small group size and significant overhead.
Once your payment is processed, you'll receive an email within 48 hours with next steps, including the application form and details on how to proceed. Applications must be completed within 5 business days to secure your spot.
If you're ready to step into the wilderness for profound self-discovery, this deposit is your first step. We look forward to welcoming you on the trail!
