Where to sleep

We will be sleeping under the stars, around a small fire, on sleeping mats with NO tents. Each person will share shifts and be responsible for keeping watch at night around the fire - an allocated hour of silent reflection per person each night.

This primitive-wilderness trail is one of full immersion into nature. We carry EVERYTHING that we need IN and OUT again. From food to sleeping gear, so the term "Carry like a mule, live like a king" is very relevant here. The more luxury that is required, the more effort will be needed to carry it. So, let's see what "stuff" we can leave behind, or, carry more than is needed, there are always lessons to be learned here.

Basically, everything required for the duration of the Trail must be carried in a backpack. Participants will have to cater for their breakfasts, lunches and dinners as well as the odd snack. Part of the trail is about sharing, so we encourage you to share what you have if you feel the desire to do so.

In order to minimize our impact, ALL COOKING must be done on a gas stove. Fires will always be small; we will do our best to leave no trace after each night's camping.
The need for a camping stove / cooker with gas will be useful. We recommend bringing a journal and a pen, to document any thoughts, realizations, epiphanies and may be needed for an activity. - there will be a communal kettle for the mornings and evenings hot water made on the fire.
Detailed - Equipment checklist and meal suggestions are listed below.

Basic Agreements

If you're intending to join us - please take note of the following with regard to our men's trails:

1. 100% confidentiality - what happens on trail stays on trail - some topics discussed will be of a personal or sensitive nature.
2. No judgement - we will listen fully, and we do not speak over or interrupt each other - we reserve judgment and offer feedback only if the person is willing to receive it.
3. Open to other opinions and spiritual beliefs - this trail might bring about ideas and concepts that you have not been witnessed to before, rather than judge we recommend having an open mind and being open to shifting spiritual ideas.
4. Full transparency - we communicate openly and honestly - always speaking our truth from the heart - full disclosure - allows brothers to get to the root of their challenges
5. Healthy challenge - we invite a healthy amount of supportive and direct challenge at times between members - calling each other out for blind spots - always in a supportive and loving way.
6. Open to feedback even when it hurts - great personal growth comes from feedback (that may sting a little). All are invited to create spaces to directly share with one another without fear that someone will take the feedback and get defensive or upset.
7. Committed to growth - all are fully committed to taking action to advance your well-being, lives and relationships.
