Passage Alaska is a unique opportunity to connect with the last frontier, to be immersed in raw beauty, and forge lifelong connections.
Passage Alaska is more than an adventure—it’s a return to something real. In the most biodiverse landscape in Alaska, surrounded by heart-centered humans, you’ll experience the wild in a way that changes you. This is about more than epic views and once-in-a-lifetime moments (though you’ll have plenty of those). It’s about remembering—what it feels like to be fully alive, deeply connected, and part of something bigger. Nature is our original teacher, and out here, away from all the noise, you’ll hear her again. This is the connection we’re all craving.
The adventure capitol of Alaska
Haines, Alaska, is the kind of place that stays with you forever. Tucked between towering, glacier-draped peaks and the deep, wild waters of the Lynn Canal, it feels like the edge of the world—in the best way. This is the adventure capital of Alaska, where nature is raw, untouched, and breathtakingly real. Bald eagles fill the sky, grizzlies roam the riverbanks, and orcas glide through the fjords. But it’s more than just the landscape—it’s the feeling. The deep, soul-shifting power of true wilderness. The Tlingit people have called this land home for thousands of years, their culture woven into the mountains, rivers, and forests. Their stories remind us that this place isn’t just beautiful—it’s sacred. Whether you're climbing peaks, paddling icy waters, or simply standing still in the silence, Haines reconnects you to something ancient, something bigger than yourself. It’s not just a trip—it’s an awakening.
Look forward to totally disconnecting in your own private yurt on the ocean. We partner with the Chilkat Inlet Retreat center to provide the most serene and beautiful location in Haines. The magic of Alaska is truly felt here as we are surrounded by forest, connected to the ocean, and have constant unobstructed views of the towering peaks all around us. A true hidden gem in the Alaskan Wilderness. For two nights of the trip we will be in the backcountry fully remote, and for the others nestled in this sanctuary.
Passage Alaska is a chance to reconnect with the planet in a way that feels real and raw. Out there, in the vastness of Alaska’s wild beauty, you can’t help but remember that we’re not separate from nature—we are a part of it. The land holds a kind of quiet wisdom that doesn’t need words. The mountains, rivers, and forests have been here long before us, and in their presence, we’re reminded of our place in this world. Nature’s rhythms are constant, steady, and humbling. She teaches us patience, strength, and how to listen—to the earth, to each other, and to ourselves. In the wild, we remember that everything is interconnected, and that life is sacred. Passage Alaska is not just an adventure; it’s a reminder of the deeper connection that’s always been here, waiting for us to feel it.
Every year, Passage Alaska draws in the most incredible souls—people searching for something more, something real. There’s an undeniable magic in stepping into the unknown together, where the wild becomes a mirror for the connections that unfold. When you’re out there, facing the raw beauty of Alaska, you find yourself sharing moments with strangers that feel like they’ve known you forever. You laugh, you struggle, you experience life in its purest form—and through it all, something deep forms between you. The friendships that grow here aren’t just fleeting—they’re the kind that stick with you, that change you. People you’ve never met will become some of your most cherished companions, and you’ll leave with more than memories; you’ll leave with lifelong connections that feel like family.
Somewhere along the way, we got lost. Pulled into the rush of modern life—constant noise, endless screens, the pressure to always be “on.” We’ve become disconnected from the land, from each other, and most of all, from ourselves. Passage Alaska is an invitation to remember. To step into the wild, breathe deep, and feel what it’s like to be fully alive again. Out here, the mountains don’t care about your to-do list. The rivers don’t ask for your productivity. Nature just is—and in its presence, you remember that you are enough, just as you are. This is more than an adventure. It’s a homecoming.
Reverance means sitting in quiet contemplation as we listen to the wind rustling through the trees, feeling the rhythm of the earth beneath our feet. It involves gathering around a crackling campfire, sharing stories and songs that honor the land and its inhabitants. It is engaging in rituals and ceremonies that acknowledge the cycles of life and our interconnectedness with all living things. It is witnessing the beauty of a sunrise or sunset together, holding space for the awe and wonder that fills our hearts. In Alaska, reverence guides us to approach nature with humility, gratitude, and a deep appreciation for the intricate tapestry of life that surrounds us.
Challenge means embarking on demanding hikes, supporting and motivating one another through steep climbs and rugged terrain. It involves engaging in physical activities that push us beyond our limits, building resilience and determination. We witness personal growth and transformation as we overcome obstacles, fostering deep bonds and a sense of unity. Through shared challenges, we discover our true strength and unlock new levels of potential.
we will sit with ourselves in the stillness of nature, uncovering our true integrity. There will be a solo nature experience for each person. Surrounded by rugged landscape, we confront our inner truths and align them with our thoughts, words, and actions. Through this deep connection with nature and each other new internal landscapes are possible, forging an unbreakable bond with our own integrity that guides us beyond the wilderness.
