About Through The Outside

Kayaking on open water

Out here, the noise fades. What’s left is truth.

Through The Outside is a return—a calling back. A journey shaped by those who carry history in their bones and freedom in their stride. For too long, the wilderness felt like something to earn—this space reminds us it was always ours.

We don’t come to prove anything.
We come to remember.

To restore what was silenced. To move in peace, in presence, and in power.

Every hike, every pause in the trees, every fear faced in real time—each is part of the practice. Of becoming. Of reclaiming. Of reconnecting with something older than maps.

This isn’t content. It’s communion.

A reflection of who we’ve always been—wild, rooted, rising.

Move beyond. Think beyond. Live Through The Outside.

What We Do

Group hiking through forest trail

At Through The Outside, we create spaces where movement becomes medicine and the wild becomes home.

We lead guided adventures that invite courage, stillness, and belonging—hikes that heal, rivers that remind, and mountains that mirror our resilience. Each journey is crafted to help you remember what the world tried to make you forget: that you are powerful, connected, and worthy of wonder.

Our community gatherings turn trails into places of trust and firesides into circles of restoration. Our talks and coaching sessions spark reflection and empower you to live beyond fear. We offer digital guides and creative tools so the lessons of the wild stay with you long after the path ends.

This is more than recreation; it’s reclamation.
This is more than adventure; it’s awakening.

Move beyond. Think beyond. Live Through The Outside.

"Together, we step past fear into freedom."

Impact

Community unity fists

At Through The Outside, our impact is measured in lives transformed—one trail, one breath, one brave step at a time. We believe healing, freedom, and connection shouldn’t be privileges—they should be birthrights accessible to everyone willing to move beyond fear.

Our mission is to open the outdoors to all, especially those who’ve been told they don’t belong. We create spaces where stories are honored, where generational wounds begin to mend, and where nature’s power reminds us who we are and what we can overcome.

Every journey, from community hikes to silent forest retreats, is crafted to help people find peace in movement and strength in shared experience. And every gathering plants seeds for a world where equity and belonging flow as freely as the rivers we paddle.

This isn’t just an adventure.
It’s a movement—a call to step outside the limits placed on you, and into a life of possibility.

Join us. Move beyond. Heal together. Live Through The Outside.

Adventure Journal

Snowboarding at expert run

The Adventure Journal is where the journey continues long after the trail ends. Here, we share stories that crack us open: moments of quiet triumph on mountaintops, tears released beside rivers, and laughter echoing through old-growth forests.

Every entry is a testament to the power of stepping outside—to find peace, to face fear, and to remember who we are beyond the noise. These aren’t just travel tales; they’re reflections of healing, growth, and rediscovery that prove nature doesn’t just change scenery—it changes lives.

This journal isn’t just ours—it’s yours, too. We invite you to share your own stories, lessons, and revelations from the wild. Together, our words can inspire others to move beyond what holds them back and into a world where every step is sacred.

Read. Reflect. Contribute. Live Through The Outside.

"Carry the journey forward—live Through The Outside."

The Movement

Rafting group resting on riverbank

Through The Outside isn’t just a program or a set of outings—it’s a movement born from the conviction that healing, freedom, and belonging are found in wild places and shared journeys. Our mission is to reclaim the outdoors as a space where every body, every story, and every community can thrive.

We gather not just to hike or paddle, but to break cycles of isolation, to remember the power we carry, and to build a new legacy rooted in equity and connection. Every step we take together helps rewrite who the outdoors is for—and what it can mean in our lives.

We believe nature heals, but people heal each other. When we share fears faced on a rocky ridge, moments of peace beneath ancient pines, or triumphs whispered at the edge of a lake, we build a community that can’t be shaken.

This is your invitation:
To rise with us.
To reclaim what was always yours.
To join a movement that moves the world forward—one trail, one story, one brave heart at a time.

Stand with us. Move beyond. Live Through The Outside.
