Our focus is to tap into the healing power of nature to restore joy and happiness to life. Whether it's due to the loss of a loved one, divorce, job loss, anxiety or other life challenges, the drama and trauma of life can leave us feeling stuck. It can be difficult to motivate ourselves to get outside and let the endorphins created through movement heal our mind and body.

My experience with outdoor groups has shown me that people who exercise in nature--whether it's the mountains, the desert, or even a walk in the park--experience significant relief from depression, feel less anxious and stressed, and generally feel a renewed sense of happiness, than those who exercise indoors. Add to that the wonderful endorphins that hiking creates, and it's possible to go from hopeless to joyful in a very short time.

Out 2 Live activities range from beginner walks and hikes, to more advanced activities that include slot canyons, backpacking, camping and mountain biking. Some of the activities will include meditation, mountaintop yoga, or simply sharing encouragement and experiences around a campfire. And along the way, lifelong friendships will be made.
