Our Models
Challenge – Support – Trust – Change
Challenge. Getting outside your comfort zone is the first step. Our journeys create this opportunity. That’s right – challenge is opportunity.
Socially – by sharing yourself with others and getting to know others.
Physically – by supporting you to challenge yourself just beyond your comfort zone.
Emotionally – through adversity comes mental strength.
Spiritually – through being in a natural environment and connecting with yourself.
Support. You are not alone on the challenges above, we are in it together. We travel together, live together, eat together, experience the hard times and good times together. When you need others they are there for you.
Trust. Great things happen when you trust others. The experience of being in a group that relies on you and you can rely on is amazing!
Change. As you progress through the journey you will become different. Through the process your change will happen through the experience. The change is real and within yourself. This is not like a self help book you read and ‘think’ is a good idea without any real change to who you are. This is an immersive experience where change occurs, even if you don’t realise it.

Dependence to Independence to Interdependence
Dependence. Our journeys are designed to move the group through a process of training and coaching at the beginning. Independence. In the middle stages, the participants are taking full responsibility for their themselves and the influence they have on the group. Interdependence. In the later stages the group becomes self reliant and a strong cohesive group achieving its purpose. |
Vision – Belief – Responsibility
Vision. Your vision for yourself is like your compass. The clearer your vision of yourself is, the better you will align your life to make that happen. An unclear, limited or scattered vision results in a life that reflects this.
Belief. We achieve what we believe. We take on beliefs about ourselves as if they are truths set in stone. We hardly ever evaluate and choose these beliefs based on their usefulness to us, we simply adopt them through our emotional and cognitive experience in the world. Our unchecked beliefs are responsible for what we do or don’t have right now.
Responsibility. We are responsible for what we have or do not have. It is our actions in the world plus our interpretation and response to our actions that defines our experience in the world. If we want something to change, it must start with us.

Key Elements on all our journeys

“It is not the mountain that we conquer but ourselves” – Sir Edmund Hillary
This is not a boot camp. We do not break you in order for you to rediscover yourself. We apply personal development theory along with an experiential learning model that is respectful and considerate. The developmental work happens through our facilitators helping you make sense of your experience and what that means to you. We do not know how this journey will change you, it is through your experience and our carefully developed model of facilitation that you will come face to face with aspects of yourself that you love and hate. You will leave this journey with a new perspective of who you are, how you want to be and learn strategies to make that happen.
