🗣️ In Jill’s words “I grew up in Bend and have always loved the outdoors, but I am new to backpacking. Cody and Khyra show me how to make delicious meals, how to pack and basic trail etiquette. Knowing I am well prepared has really motivated me to join more overnight trips!” @trailgateparty ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We want to help you feel empowered in the outdoors. Join us this Sunday, July 21st for our last Backpacking Food Workshop of the season. Head into your next adventure with more confidence and ease. Limited spots are available.

I want to be alive - fully, truly alive. Because there was a time that I almost took that away from myself (trigger warning). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In high school I (Khyra) was deeply depressed for several years. Despite trying many different anti-depressants medications, I attempted suicide. Around that time, when I was 14, I started going to a weekly yoga class at our local athletic center. Finding yoga, meditation and buddhist philosophy brought me out of that dark place and showed me that suffering is impermanent. That time in my life was a huge catalyst for everything to come, from moving abroad for about a decade to becoming a yoga teacher to starting our business. It taught me the importance of doing what you’re passionate about. It became a deep motivation for doing what I do. I choose to live, because I almost took that away from myself. I would have never experienced the wild depth and indescribable beauty that this life has to offer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I imagine that if you’ve read this far that you’ve been through something similar or are looking to create a satisfying, purposeful and growth-minded life. If so, you’re in the right place - here’s your community of individuals committed to creating a meaningful life for themselves, filled with adventure and connection ✨
