Stressproof.

What stresses are unique to men…and what perspectives and practices will help us secure our identity in this season of life?

Ready to get outdoors?

In our journeys as men, many of us experience an absence of both adventure and deep-hearted conversations. Please join me and my dear friend John Freeman as we co-lead a weekend to uncover both of these vital dimensions of the male soul.

From a base camp at Table Rock in western NC, we will venture across the rim of the Linville Gorge to the Chimneys for panoramic views, killer sunsets, talking, eating, and climbing (all skill levels, no experience required) as context for exploring what it might mean to live “stressproof” as men.

All camping and climbing gear, delicious trail food, and outdoor instruction will be provided by our friends at Appalachian Mountain Leadership. Space is limited, so grab a friend and register today to reserve your spot…or come solo and build new friendships! Magical things happen around a campfire in the woods.

Details: No outdoor experience required, but good general health and conditioning is important.

Content: 5 Intentional Conversations, Hiking & Climbing, Personal Time, and 5 excellent trail meals.
