An entry-level course designed for professionals working in significantly remote settings for days or weeks. Wilderness Advanced First Aid is comprehensive medical training designed for remote professionals or wilderness leaders who venture into remote and challenging environments. Wilderness Medicine differs significantly from standard first aid courses and other training that are oriented toward urban environments. This course teaches how to manage medical emergencies when hospitals and rescue services may not be available for an extensive time period. We prepare students for emergency situations that involve prolonged patient care, severe environments, and improvised equipment. The course is taught by professional instructors from Wilderness Medical Associates International with significant patient care and backcountry experience. Upon successful completion students will receive certification in Wilderness Advanced First Aid including epinephrine administration to treat anaphylaxis, and Healthcare Provider Level CPR. Certification is valid for three years. Cost: $410 before March 22nd, $451 after, $140 for optional lodging starting the first night of the course.

What does it mean to become the hero of one’s own life? The Hero Within journey is an in-depth 12 week experiential course that explores this question. The course brings alive the transformational work of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey template and how that can empower us to bring more meaning and vitality to our daily life. The Hero Within invites us to explore the adventure of our life, and to become the hero of our lives, our own stories and our own mythology. We are being called to challenge the idealistic images of who we think we are so we can let go of the life we have so carefully planned. By doing so we get to embrace and explore the life that is awaiting for us.
