•OnlineThe Chile Adventure Webinar
OnlineYou’re hiking through an ancient volcanic valley, the air crisp and clean, snow-dusted peaks reflecting off crystal-clear lagoons. Later that evening, you’re soaking in natural hot springs, Chilean wine in hand, laughter echoing through the mountains as the sun sets behind the Andes.
That’s Pucón — Chile’s adventure capital — and it’s where we’re headed.
This special live webinar is your final opportunity to join us for the Fire & Ice Trek Experience: eight days of volcano views, glacier hikes, lakeside yoga, authentic Chilean feasts, and a riverside retreat designed for adventure, connection, and renewal.
During the session, you’ll discover:
✅ What makes this retreat one of the most breathtaking multi-sport adventures in South America
✅ How we’ve blended challenge, comfort, and culture into one unforgettable journey
✅ What you can expect day by day — and how to know if this trip is for you
✅ Plus, live Q&A to answer any last questions before spots close
If you’ve been sitting on the fence — wondering if this is the adventure that will reset your soul — this is your moment.
Join us live, bring your questions, and come feel what makes the “Fire & Ice” trek more than a trip — it’s a story you’ll tell for the rest of your life.
🎒 Reserve your seat for the Chile Adventure Webinar now — before the final spots disappear.

Full Moon Hike
Memorial park , 301 N picnic lane,, Houston, TX, USMost people think there’s nowhere to hike in Houston.
That it’s too flat, too hot, or too “city.”
But here’s the truth — Houston does have trails worth exploring. You just need to know where to go… and have a crew that actually shows up.
Join us for a Full Moon Hike — a free outdoor adventure designed to help you get outside, breathe a little deeper, and meet people who love exploring as much as you do
.
As the moon rises over the trees, we’ll walk through one of Houston’s hidden green spaces. You’ll hear crickets, the soft crunch of dirt under your boots, and laughter from people who were strangers just minutes ago.
This isn’t a fitness test — it’s an experience.
It’s about feeling alive, grounded, and connected.
Whether you’re new to Houston, tired of the same old routine, or just craving a break from “all work, no play,” this is your invitation to rediscover what’s right here in your backyard — and who you might find along the way.
Details:
• Distance: 2.5-3 miles on natural trails (yes, real hills — in Houston!)
* We'll hike about 24 minute miles give or take
• Bring: A red-light headlamp,
* Water
* Sturdy shoes
Adults Only
No dogs (we love them, but so do the coyotes)
NOTE: While this event is open to everyone, it is a little harder to hike at night. Please make sure you're comfortable walking 3 miles during the day before signing up for this event.
We’ll meet at 6:30 PM — come early to find parking and settle in before the moon makes her entrance.

A Walk in the Woods
Terry Hershey Park(The Anthills), 786 Memorial Mews Street, Houston, TX, USStep off the pavement and into possibility.
Join us for A Walk in the Woods — a brisk, energizing hike through The Anthills, one of Houston’s best-kept outdoor secrets. These winding bayou trails are where the city fades, the trees open up, and you start to remember what fresh air feels like.
If you’ve been stuck in a routine — work, errands, repeat — this is your reset button. It’s an easy way to move your body, meet fun people, and remind yourself that Houston’s actually full of adventure… if you know where to look.
You don’t need to be “fit” or “outdoorsy.” You just need to show up.
We’ll take care of the rest.
🥾 What to Expect:- 3–4 miles at a brisk but conversational pace (22–25 min/mile)
- Natural terrain: dirt trails, rolling hills, and a few roots to keep it interesting
- No-drop group: no one gets left behind
- Perfect for: active Houstonians, new friends, and anyone ready to swap small talk for sunshine
🎒 What to Bring:
✅ Trail shoes or sturdy sneakers (you’ll want the traction!)
✅ Water — it gets warm out there
✅ Bug spray & sunscreen
✅ Layers for the weather
✅ Your friendly, leashed dog (if they’re social and trail-ready!)
🚫 No kids, please — this one’s for adults only
