50 weeks a year I’m consumed with branding and marketing messages, so it was sure nice this past week to get away from media of all kinds.
I attended a week long wilderness retreat in Big Sur through the Esalen Institute led by wilderness guide, Steven Harper. We toured the backcountry of Big Sur and got special access to trails not open to the public. The program blended hiking, geographical history, poetry and mindful awareness practices for a truly unique and invigorating experience. I will definitely be going back someday!
If you have an interest in getting away from the daily scramble and reconnecting with nature and your own soul, I highly recommend it!
