Intro to Backpacking - 3 days

Backpacking for Mental Health and Wellbeing

Unplug, breathe deeper, and build confidence on a guided, beginner-friendly backpacking weekend led by mental health professionals trained to support both safety and wellbeing.

Backpacking is a rare kind of reset: you carry what you need, walk until your mind gets quiet, and remember what “enough” feels like. With experienced, first-aid trained leaders, you can step into challenge safely, and come home steadier, clearer, and more connected.

Peace in the Wild Retreat

At Peace in the Wild, we understand that peace is not the absence of struggle; it’s the ability to remain rooted and responsive in the face of life’s challenges. This immersive retreat combines the restorative power of nature with evidence-based practices in resilience building, positive psychology, and post-traumatic growth.

​Grounded in material drawn from global resilience training models, including those used by the United Nations, this retreat supports participants in cultivating the inner strengths that promote healing, adaptability, and a renewed sense of purpose. With the wild landscapes of Western Maryland as both backdrop and co-facilitator, our skilled team of therapists and guides offers a space for reflection, learning, and deep connection.

​Participants explore practices that awaken joy, self-compassion, meaning, and courage, moving beyond survival toward authentic flourishing.
