Spirit of the Mountains

Mountain Adventure & Immersion Into Self

Wanderlust Adventures in partnership with First Light Guiding presents its first Immersion and experiential learning adventure held in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, from 3rd to 11th April 2017.

Spirit Of The Mountains – Defining The Core Of Self

This is an exciting opportunity for you to reacquaint yourself with who you truly are. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself into one of the greatest natural landscapes in the world, whilst learning to strengthen the mind, body and spirit. This course is designed to allow you to connect to who you are, face fears, be courageous, step into determination, grow under pressure and learn how to communicate in language that serves your highest self. Combine this with awe-inspiring mountain terrain in the New Zealand Alps under guided and professional expertise. You will have an opportunity to enhance the mind and acquaint yourself with the best version of who you have the potential to be through powerful lessons extracted directly from ‘The Mastery Of Self’ Program.

This mountain adventure is a 9-day package that is much more than a basic mountaineering course. This Adventure Retreat is about acquainting yourself with the highest version of you. We remove you from your familiar environment and position you in a stripped back place with a framework that supports an experience of self-mastery.

Stef Sifandos and Gavin Lang will facilitate this entire trip. This unique adventure holiday is defined not only by the vast expertise of the mountains that Gavin brings, but also Stef's ‘Mastery Of Self’ programme that accompanies this epic adventure – you won’t find this type of adventure anywhere else.

Whilst challenging yourself physically and being immersed in the majestic nature of the mountains you will begin to discover, learn deeply about, master and explore the following:

• Purpose – Values – Vision for self and humanity
• Powerful manifestation techniques
• Mental Resilience Conditioning and techniques
• Fear and courage
• The power of meditation
• The power of the creative self
• Mindset – growth vs. rigid
• Communication and relationships
• Immersion into Flow state
• And so much more…

Our environment heavily influences our behaviour, and this in turn dictates how we perceive life, what values we adhere to, how we view the world, and what emotions we experience on the spectrum of human feelings. Immersion is a technique that removes us from the everyday, familiar and habitual environments we are accustomed to that often force us to experience the mundane and take that experience as truth.

Learning under immersion enhances and improves our ability to assimilate new information. It assists us in ensuring what we learn about life, ourselves and the world around us remains with us for greater lengths of time. This is because the profound realisations experienced in nature, whilst away from what we are familiar with, allow us to absorb deeply this new information. Science demonstrates that we learn deeper and faster when we integrate our body into the learning experience. This is known as embodied cognition and whilst we will be learning the complex truth about the self, we are combining this with a new environment, new physical and high-level body awareness practices.

Background
Gavin & Stef met in 2011 on a mountaineering expedition in NZ led by Gavin. There was an instant connection and synergy around the areas of personal philosophy, ideology, values and awareness of life. This venture was borne out of that friendship and has been in the making since that time – the power of this idea required time to adapt, become, grow and come to fruition. After diverse life experiences, maturity and deepened understanding of the inner workings of the mind and life, both Stef & Gavin are now more than ready to begin to pool their expertise and inspired minds for this adventure. Their life purpose is to serve at a higher level with this unique program.
