It’s a coaching and trekking program designed for working parents who need space to pause, reflect, and reconnect.
You’ll spend time online before the journey with guided coaching and self-awareness practices, followed by a four-day-three-night journey through the Sacred Valley of Peru.
Led by certified professional Conscious Parenting coaches Patricia Díaz-Kismarton and Hazel Swayne, the experience combines reflection, physical movement, and community to help you rediscover balance.
You’ll move through three stages:
Prime & Prep (Basecamp Online):
Build self-awareness, uncover your parenting patterns, and prepare emotionally for the journey.
Includes guided online sessions, entry assessments, journaling prompts, and daily pause invitations to help you arrive grounded and ready.
Immerse & Integrate (The Hike):
Skill-building sessions addressing triggers, boundaries, and ego through movement, art, and storytelling exercises.
Interactive activities covering boundary-setting and saying “no”
Guided meditations, breathwork, and “pause” rituals for presence mastery.
Family connection practices and peer sharing
Campfire circles, memory-making rituals, reflection walks, and collective creative projects to build community and emotional safety.
Sustain & Apply (At the Peak Online):
Continue with self-paced content, hands-on virtual sessions
Reflection prompts focused on sustaining mindfulness, work-life integration, and family connections.
Quarterly community campfires to help your insights take root.
