A Drop Below the Surface retreat
might be for you if :
You are craving the chance to press pause.
You are curious about what’s next for you.
You like the idea of nature-infused self-reflection.
You are seeking ways to connect to yourself and others at a deeper level.
My experience with my DBS crew: the leaders and the participants, was life shifting. It was so important to set aside the time for myself but I couldn’t have even imagined how cared for I would feel! Every detail was intentional and contributed to the theme of dropping below the surface. I created deep relationships through conversation and self reflection.

More DBS love …
The DBS retreat weekend led by Carrie and Tracy was more than I ever could have imagined. There has been a shift in my heart and my head that is giving me a sense of peace, hope, awakening, and connection that I haven’t felt in years.
I felt so cared for and seen, my favorite beverages were available, comfort on every level was taken into account and the team’s hospitality and detail were second to none!
Each session or conversation seemed to build toward the full experience, taking us deeper, and discovering more about ourselves and the others. Despite opening us up, it never made me feel vulnerable, or, better put, just positively vulnerable yet safe.
About DBS Leaders
Carrie and Tracy find inspiration in experiences that push them out of their comfort zones. Together they have skied down steep mountains in avalanche territory, rafted the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, traveled many miles in all conditions, and served the Lancaster Community as change leaders. They launched Drop Below the Surface after reflecting on the self-discovery, personal growth, and joy that time in nature can offer and how it can help us tap into a deeper understanding of ourselves. (Oh, and they like a good laugh and a good beer too!)
