Join us for an eight-day, adult martial arts retreat in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Every morning you will rise at the crack of dawn and run up the mountain to meditate at its summit. You will find your way through the woods—stalking, tracking, becoming one with the land—until you find your forest sanctuary—an open-air training center with sleeping accommodations above. Day and night, you will train in every technique imaginable: from kicks, punches, knees, and elbows to sweeps, throws, and submissions. You will pick up a stick and fashion it into a weapon, and learn how to use it! Your hands and feet will become whipping bows, your body, a python. Your mind will coalesce hard as steel in the face of adversity, but your heart will remain soft with kindness. You will become bonded with your peers through many team building exercises and rights of passage. You will go away with a profound sense of purpose and deep wellspring of passion. This is a camp for everyone—regardless of age, fitness, or ability—but everyone will be tested to their limits to rise above and be reborn.
