Choose From 2 Paths
On This Odyssey

We will sail as a flotilla of 2 sailboats! Each will have a theme, a unique Path of self-discovery activities,

an inspirer to guide you, a professional skipper, and 9 fellow explorers. We will engage in group activities on some days, and you will have the option to attend workshops from different paths on some evenings.

Testimonials

"I don't easily use the word "unique". Being somewhat of an uptight nerd, the 2023 edition was a unique and pivotal moment in my life's journey, no less. I formed real connections and felt comfortable, even encouraged, to express parts of my personality which I usually keep quiet. The experience stayed with me months after, and will probably stay for many years."

Omri, Netherlands (2023 Participant)

Our Values 

Just as Odysseus learns values along his odyssey, we will embrace our own values including:
curiosity, togetherness, openness, trust and growth
