“Back from another enriching trip deep into the heart of the Peruvian Andes in the Cordillera Blanca.

Moving each day up and over these high mountains, camping under the infinite wonder of the night sky, giving our minds space to think, feeding our bodies locally grown and raised food, sharing intimate time together as a small band and fulfilling our life with experiences versus things.

These vast spaces breed humility. They foster clarity. Ego dissolves with the wind and the wild ones. It may be extremely isolated, but you feel deeply that you’re a part of something. Thank you to this place and my beautiful community in Peru for always giving me such special gifts. You are truly my family.”
