COURSE OVERVIEW
The Outdoor Reset is a 3‑day, 2‑night expedition that uses outdoor experiential learning to create meaningful, transformational shifts. Participants live simply in the field and move together as a team on land and water journeys—hiking, short‑distance kayaking or rafting, and, where conditions allow, stream/gorge exploration and coastal challenges. Practical tasks (route planning, navigation, shared cooking and kit care, ropes and optional jetty jumps) are paired with daily structured reflection to surface behaviour patterns and practice new ways of deciding, communicating and leading under pressure. The focus is on transferable skills—what you learn in the wild is designed to be used back in daily life and at work.
Who is it for?
-
Adults (18–65) seeking a meaningful short expedition — friends, individuals or corporate teams who want a purposeful reset and practical, experience-based growth.
-
Basic fitness and mobility
