Question 1

Do I have to be super fit to come?

Accepted Answer

Nope. The hike is beginner-friendly and we go at a relaxed pace. It’s more about the experience than the workout.

Question 2

Do I have to swim?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The waterfall dip is completely optional. Plenty of people come just for the walk, breathwork, and connection.

Question 3

What if I don’t know anyone?

Accepted Answer

That’s the whole point. Most people come solo—and you’ll be welcomed straight in. We’ll guide connection activities that make it easy to meet good people, minus the awkward vibes.

Question 4

Is this one of those spiritual or woo-woo things?

Accepted Answer

No. This is grounded, real, and for everyday people. We use breathwork and nature as tools to help you feel more present and clear—no crystals required (but more than welcome, too)

Question 5

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

If it’s light rain, we embrace it—it’s all part of the experience. If weather conditions are unsafe, we’ll play it by ear. We tend to embrace discomfort - however if it is unsafe we will reschedule or offer full refunds.

Question 6

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Check the packing list in the event description for everything you’ll need to stay warm, dry, and comfortable (we'll email you to remind you before the day)

Question 7

I want to come but can't afford it

Question 8

How do I get there? Is the road suitable for regular cars?

How difficult is the hike?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Where do we meet for the event?
