Beyond Survival: A Men’s Therapeutic Expedition

In Partnership with the National Ability Center

4 Days / 3 Nights — Moab, Utah: Late May or Early July (exact dates coming soon)

An Experience Where the Work Runs as Deep as the River

Ripple invites men into a powerful, immersive therapeutic adventure in the red rock desert of Moab, Utah. In partnership with the National Ability Center, this retreat combines outdoor adventure with clinically grounded trauma work, creating space for healing through movement, connection, and stillness.

The Adventure

Participants will engage in guided, professionally supported outdoor experiences, including:

• White Water Rafting

• Canyoneering

• Desert Hiking

  
  

These adventures are designed not just for thrill, but for embodied challenge, trust-building, and connection—mirroring the internal work taking place throughout the retreat.

The Clinical Focus

This retreat is for men who are ready to:

• Explore and challenge negative core beliefs developed over a lifetime

• Practice vulnerability in a supportive, contained group setting

• Reconnect with the body as part of the healing process

  
  

The therapeutic work is informed by EMDR principles and trauma-responsive care, with an emphasis on:

• Somatic awareness

• Breathwork

• Stillness and reflection in the desert landscape

• Group processing and shared meaning-making

  
  

This is not traditional talk therapy—it’s experiential, embodied, and relational.

Who This Is For

Men seeking:

• Deeper self-understanding

• Healing from past experiences

• Authentic connection with other men

• A balance of challenge, support, and restoration

• To live a fuller life and to not just SURVIVE

  
  

No prior adventure experience is required.
