Getting off our devices, into community, and in touch with natural beauty is a powerful, essential anti-dote to the chaos of these times.
This July we will gather as a small group for a journey into the Sierra mountains of California for three nights that will combine light group process, guided meditation, and emergent coaching; wending our way through the forests and granite mountains that rise several hours east of San Francisco.
This trip will be celebratory, sweat-inducing, relaxing, inspiring, and grounding for all who partake. Please see FAQs below for more information. Email to hello@enliven.academy for questions.
Spencer is the founder of Enliven Academy and Climate Wisdom Fellowship, a leadership coach, a graduate of Pomona College’s interdisciplinary Environmental Analysis program, and a Certified Integral Facilitator.
Spencer was trained by several master teachers with an emphasis on somatic, experiential transformation, including, among others, Thomas Hubl & Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi. He has over 20 years of practice in Hatha yoga (Shadow Yoga/Scott Blossom) and 15 years in Buddhist meditation (Mahamudra with Daniel P. Brown & Dustin DiPerna) and adult developmental theories.
Outside of work, Spencer can be found making music with friends, hiking the California wildlands with his family, or building something with his hands in the studio.
Sliding scale
Depending on final numbers, we will select a location that is easiest for group to gather at. The closest airport with either be SFO or Reno. Travel can be coordinated amongst participants for car share from either. Exact site will be selected and sent by June 15th.
We will plan to hike about 6-8 miles each day with packs, stopping as necessary for recharge and meals. Over the 4 days we will do 15-20 miles total.
Great! You will meet some awesome, new people.
Roughly each day will be:
- Breakfast
- Group circle
- Hike
- Lunch/Rest/Recharge
- Guided Meditation/Movement
- Hike
- Dinner
- Group circle
Group size will be limited to about ~6 people.
Once you sign up you will be emailed a gear list to make sure to bring for this experience. The basics will include pack, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothes, headlamp, and sturdy hiking shoes.
Each person will take care of their own food for the trip. We will send out recommendations for planning food.
