This is an exclusive opportunity for KW community members to be guided by Kirsty Wirth from Kultured Wellness and local guides on an outdoor excursion in the Victorian Alpine Country.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN.
Expect to be challenged and inspired as we delve into the progressive experience hiking remotely. This isn't just a physical challenge, it's also an opportunity for bonding, learning new skills, breathwork, and even cold water plunges to push you out of your comfort zone and connect with nature.
Don't worry if you're new to hiking - this is the perfect opportunity to learn. The experienced guides will be with you every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and plenty of laughs to make sure you get the most out of this adventure.
This is more than just a hike, it's a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and connection. You will become part of a tight-knit group that will start preparing and training with Kirsty months before the hike even begins.
Cultivate determination and resilience
You'll be hiking anywhere from 8-15kms a day exposed to the elements with nothing but your team and the pack on your back. This adventure will leave you feeling accomplished and victorious after you navigate the challenges of your trail.
Learn new skills
You'll learn how to become a successful remote multi-day hiker with guidance from Kirsty and the team. You'll begin training months in advance learning how to prepare food for the trail, how to choose supplies, and more.
Create connection
Build lasting bonds with your team as you share new experiences, meaningful conversations and memorable moments together.
“Nature is one of the most under-utilized treasures in life. It has the power to unburden hearts and reconnect to that inner place of peace.”
- Janice Anderson
