Women's Adventure in Recovery
Encouraging Recovery as a Celebration
The first of many programs to come; in Sept 2019 women in recovery from addictions had an opportunity to harness their personal power in sobriety and connect to themselves and others in a different capacity. This 2 night expedition consisted of a beautiful and strenuous hike to an alpine hut, followed by yoga, meditation, reflective group activities and a summit of 5040 peak.
Thank You for giving women recovering from addiction an opportunity to participate in our first program in BC!
This program was fully funded for participants thanks to donations from many members of our community.
Veterans connect recover
A non-profit for Military Veterans
Using adventure as a compelling gateway, participants have the opportunity to build community, while fostering growth and healing in nature, through profound and fun outdoor group experiences.
Connecting participants in their local communities, we hope to give them an opportunity to transfer their skills and training, empowering them to go into nature, managing their own adventure experiences together after the trip.
We launched our first event in Victoria in March 2022 and are in need of funding to continue supporting our vision in helping Veterans.
Testimonials
"My life was forever enriched by my experiences that week and Nicole was a big part of the reason for this."
Nicole was one of my guides for a week long mountaineering expedition with Outward Bound Veterans program.
Her personal skills and patience made me feel confident on many occasions throughout the week. Being a veteran herself it was very easy to connect with her as you could tell when conversing with her that no judgements were being made.
This trust also carried over to my apparent fear of heights where I was roped to her traversing a ledge and she literally had my life in her hands. I'm not sure how I would have faired without her.

"The highlight of the trip for me was learning about backcountry hiking and being with others in recovery. Nicole was wicked! I wouldn't wish for anyone else to be our guide."
"The hut, the mountain, the summit and yoga were my highlights. Nicole was encouraging, approachable, compassionate and kind. She's just an incredible person and very organized. I was impressed by her patience and adaptability. This trip helped me on my recovery path; it lit a new fire under me and I'm proud of myself for accomplishing this."
"It felt so good to be up there; like I could touch the moon and the milky way. This trip will forever be ingrained in my mind and heart. Nicole is a very patient and tough cookie. I am inspired by the display of resiliency, braveness and courage to overcome, despite what happened in the past. It solidified my faith in other people and helped me see that I am not alone with my problems."
"Nicole was amazing. I felt like she gave everything the group needed. It didn't seem to be too much for her, which was a good reminder for me to believe in what I could do. The highlight for me was increased self awareness. I have changed so much in sobriety."
