Leadership Journey to Ecuador

Dates: Sept 30 - Oct 11, 2011 (11 days, including travel). Travel to Ecuador on 9/30, return 10/11.

Breathe the richest, cleanest air on the planet. Feel in your chest the trumpeting cacophony of the jungle in the dark of night. Witness the profound connection the Achuar people have with the earth and all of life. Step far away from your day-to-day routine in order to gain perspective and inspiration. Be transformed.

The Journey will appeal to mind, body, heart and soul. Along the way you will envision and design your life around that which enlivens and calls to you. Grounded in aclear sense of purpose, and connected to your passions, new possibilities will emerge for the next chapter of your personal journey and the legacy you will leave for future generations.

THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the Quechuaculture in the Andes, travel the Amazon rainforest, and experience the Achuar indigenous culture. The journey blends comfort and true adventure, shared with a small group of fellow travelers. You will stay in an award-winning eco-lodge over a hundred miles from the nearest road, fly over the rain-forest canopy in alight plane, travel by motorized wooden canoe, camp in an indigenous village, and stay in a comfortable inn with stunning views of a sacred volcano. Yourexperience will be enriched by our partnership with the Pachamama Alliance whose wisdom is derived from their 18-year relationship with the region and the people.

"The Journey put me face to face with absolute raw beauty and the power of being in authentic relationship with indigenous people. I discovered what it would take to live in freedom and gratitude. I found a different way to become my more authentic me. The Journey is a real experience of authoring my life – designed from my inner truth, rather than others' expectations.

If you are truly serious about owning your destiny you can’t afford not to go. There is not a conflict of time, money, or others' opinions that should interfere with going on this Journey."  ~ Jeff Baker, Partner, Hornall Anderson Design Works
