What are Transformational Journeys?
Transformational journeys are opportunities to uncover our most authentic self. A shift from traditional intellect-driven approaches, participants engage in intentional practices that cultivate empathy, resilience, healing and transformation. They include slowing it all down and syncing with the natural rhythm of life; giving way to shifts in how we view ourselves and life’s meaning and purpose.
True transformation comes from within, requiring vulnerability. Blurred values and conditioned beliefs impact our choices, actions and patterns. We become more concerned about what others think and say instead of listening to and trusting our decisions and ourselves - our innate wisdom.
Our focus is developing higher self-awareness and presence--impacting our sense of connection and belonging. Experiences become transformative when we focus on who we are being and then, what we do from that place of being.
Individuals depart with a deeper self-understanding and a renewed sense of direction. This new found direction empowers them to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, resilience and purpose.
Why Nature
There is a sense of connection and belonging in nature.
Nature-Based Living
As the research has shown, nature reduces stress, improves the immune system and overall mood. In today's digital age, it's easy to get lost in the world of technology and forget about the beauty of nature. At Soltreks, we believe in the importance of connecting with the natural world. Nature is essential for our whole body health and so is spending time in the outdoors.
