"Adventure Literacy. . .Moving from “Event” to “Experience”
What happens when we have a “Powerful Event” on our lifetime adventure? What do we do?
“Adventure Literacy” is a process of understanding events in order to add value to our lives by gaining understanding which improves self knowledge and enriches our lives.
Ken will speak about his own journey of learning through his life of adventure.

"Adventure Beyond Escape"
The progression from childhood, through adolescence into adulthood and on to elderhood is an intentional one. Any journey requires movement, and trials along the way. The most intrepid adventurers know that the path is physical, emotional and spiritual and holds space for them all. How can we use Adventure to emerge into our truest selves?
