Program Overview
This 21 day journey consists of meditation, journaling, learning principles of effective communication, goal-setting, sustainability, and wilderness skills. We teach our clients various methods of how to build shelter, prepare and purify food and water, maintain safety in the wild, make fire, navigate through the wilderness, and identify wildlife. While our clients cultivate many practical skills useful for successfully navigating backcountry expeditions, our focus is equipping our students with the confidence and life skills necessary to successfully navigate through their lives.
The wilderness offers us the opportunity to develop and master skills in self-reliance, accountability, decision-making, responsibility, leadership and communication. Our discovery guides also introduce clients to yoga practice, martial arts, and utilizing mantra. We also encourage creative pursuits in the field such as music and visual arts as a means of achieving our developmental goals and outcomes.
At Crossroads Discovery, clients learn to optimize use of external resources found in their gear and in the natural world around them - away from the ample and sometimes excess comforts found in modern technology. This invites them to discover the vast resources and strength within themselves and draw from the inspiring relationships with our Life Coaches and other students as we share in this uniquely rich experience together.

After Care
We believe that the combination of experiences and consistency help us move forward. After our clients have spent three weeks in the wilderness, they then move into our after care program. We have seen great success with our coaching clients!
We offer 8 individual zoom sessions to work on SMART goals set during their wilderness program. We find that consistency and follow-up is valuable
Alongside the 8 individual sessions, we also host a weekly group outing as well. We find that
The activity based sessions are tailored to the needs and goals of the client. These sessions could include anything from: meeting one-on-one in a home session, kayaking, hiking, etc. These sessions can run anywhere from 60-120+ mins. That will depend largely on the activity and need for the week. Crossroads includes 8 individual sessions with weekly follow-up via phone calls or texts. We find that this helps keep more accountability throughout the week and in between sessions.
In addition to the 8 individual zoom sessions
