About this Retreat
Your Guides
Chris Sawey is a Wilderness Guide, Educator, Designer, Contractor, and Wilderness Poet. His love for Art and Adventure is a through-line in everything he does. He has guided hundreds of men and young men in backcountry adventures and is Wilderness First Responder trained and certified through NOLS.
In 2019 after his HGTV debut, he walked away and sold it ALL to buy an island in Alaska to build a one-of-a-kind off-grid retreat center for men to heal childhood wounds, to then equip them to become leaders and mentors in the wildest place on Earth - Alaska.
His Mission in life is to guide men back to their wild and creative hearts through deep nature immersion and build beautiful and unique spaces where everyone wants to be and anyone can be a part of.
“I want every young adult and young man to know they belong and feel the knowing of Home within themselves through a personal connection with Mother Nature and Great Source. I do that through in full emersion wild experiences and sacred rites of passage."
