The Elixir Experience for Life Skills Development
The Elixir Experience is one of the most authentic and meaningful journeys that a young person could have the privilege of taking at such a critical stage of their personal development. Our experiences take people to the most beautiful and remarkable natural wonders of the world to facilitate the discovery of their vocation and “calling”. Groups are lead by professional wilderness guides and vocation coaches who take participants through a process of self exploration such that they translate an inspirational personal vision into a personal development plan that will foster holistic development. The Elixir Experiences range in location, duration, difficulty and group dynamics, to ensure that the group will nurture the valuable perspectives needed to develop your child’s self awareness.
Benefits of the Elixir Experience
- Unlike most school outdoor education programs, this experience is focussed primarily on Vocation Development, making it a very unique and personal experience.
- Gives your child the opportunity to experience some of the most impressive and sought after wilderness trails that leave each participant with a deep sense of awe and connection to their maker and life purpose.
- Engage with, learn from and share with like minded individuals who are on a similar vocation development journey and make friends that last a life time.
- The wilderness provides a perfect space for young people to relax, expand and to process the often difficult emotions that come with growing up. The wilderness takes away all the conventional pressures and mental constructs that impede the authentic development of a young person.
- Interacting with eco-systems in wilderness allows young people to instinctively internalise key life principles that nature has refined over 3.8 billion years of evolution. Participants will relate the principles to the development of their vocation. Including:
- Synergy- Looking for collaborative ways to solve challenges and explore ideas.
- Purpose/Identity- Recognising that each individual and organism has a role to play.
- Resilience- To challenges, obstacles and growth opportunities faced at school and in life.
- Acceptance- Of other people, situations and circumstance.
- Adaptation- Changing perception and procedure to meet personal and community needs more effectively.
- Sustainability- of each person’s development and the planet
- Effectiveness– exploring the optimal use of time, energy, resources and strengths
- The quality, authenticity and inspiration of a vision is always more remarkable when created in wilderness. Nature gives us a purpose and calls to our responsibility as leaders of mankind and the planet.
