**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/beaver-valley-26)** ***Get ready for one of the hardest day-hike adventures in Wilderness Union history!*** Welcome to the next installment of the Wilder Series: this gorgeous, nearly 30km hike through Beaver Valley is not for the faint of heart. The pay off, however, is incredible, as you’ll pass multiple waterfalls, experienec stunning hilltop views and finish with a huge sense of accomplishment for completing this challenging adventure. While more rural than wild, you will feel immersed in remote nature with few other people to be found as you trek along the trail. You can expect lush forest canopies, diverse terrain and a great group to adventure onwards with. Due to the length of this adventure, we will move at a continuous pace of 3-3.5km per hour. While Ontario is fairly flat, this loop has significant elevation gain. You can expect a lot of ascents and descents throughout the day, which will make the distance covered more challenging but the views that much more exquisite. Please note that attendees will need a high fitness level to successfully complete this adventure. This will be a serious challenge! **Highlights** **Stunning waterfalls:** Experience two of Ontario’s most stunning water features- Eugenia Falls and Hogg’s Falls. **Secluded wilderness:** Enjoy the feeling of near total seclusion on the trail. Just you, the forest and your fellow adventurers. **Type 2 fun:** This adventure will not be easy but, for those willing to meet the challenge, it will be supremely rewarding! **Event cost: $50+HST (for explorer members) - $50 optional transport available.** **Register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/beaver-valley-26)** **About Wilderness Union** Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people. Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad. Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming! ***Learn more at our website [www.wildernessunion.com](https://www.wildernessunion.com/)***

### An Invitation For You A 6.5 Hour, clinically designed reset for high-responsibility professionals — with guided practices, meaningful dialogue, and a full multi-course meal. For executives, clinicians, educators, managers, HR leaders, and high-responsibility professionals who carry visible and invisible load — and need more than another wellness webinar. ##### **Individual Ticket: $349 + tax** https://daretoretreat.co/product/leadershipreset2026/ #### What Happens During the 6.5 Hour Leadership Reset This is not a panel you sit through and forget the next day. The experience moves intentionally between learning, embodied reset, nourishment, and integration — so participants don’t leave emotionally spun out. **The experience includes:** * **Arrival and Grounding Welcome** A guided transition from workplace pace into psychological space. * **Opening Reflection** Structured time to slow down, settle, and reconnect with internal cues. * **The Mental Beauty Framework** A clear, professional approach to sustainable self-leadership rooted in clinical practice and real workplace realities. * **Guided Nervous-System Reset Practices** Breathwork, visualization, or sensory grounding designed to reduce overload and restore emotional steadiness. * **Insight Session: The Psychology of Burnout** Exploring patterns such as over-responsibility, perfectionism, emotional labour, compassion fatigue, and the pressure to “stay strong.” * **Applied Reset Practice** A practical ritual or tool participants can repeat in daily life and at work. * **Full Multi-Course Meal** A curated dining experience woven into the reset, reinforcing slowing down, receiving, and replenishing. * **Integration Circle and Closing** Reflection and anchoring so insights land — not just intellectually, but emotionally. #### What This Experience Is Workplace demands are rising, burnout is accelerating, and leaders across Canada are carrying more emotional, cognitive, and relational responsibility than ever before. Traditional wellness initiatives — short talks, apps, and one-off perks — are no longer enough. **Dare to ‘*Re-Treat*’: The Leadership Reset Experience** is a **clinically grounded, psychologically safe, in-person experience** designed to help high-responsibility professionals **pause, regulate, and recalibrate** — without checking out of real life or pretending one night fixes systemic pressure. This is not a traditional conference or wellness workshop. It is a **structured leadership reset** that blends evidence-informed teaching, guided nervous-system practices, shared reflection, and intentional nourishment. Participants don’t just feel better for a moment. They leave **more grounded, clearer, and steadier** — with tools they can actually use.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal. And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck. Private lenders are more cautious. Partners are asking better questions. And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up. That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now. You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help** Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals. **The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)** Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems. This is where connections turn into action.
