The Call You Can no longer Ignore
The journey begins when you finally answer.
This Isn't About Me. It's About You.
You have everything you thought you wanted.
The business. The freedom. The recognition.
And yet, something feels off. Not broken, but misaligned.
Like you’ve been playing a game that doesn’t matter anymore.
Like you built the life, but forgot to feed the soul.
That’s where I was.
The Collapse That Changed Everything
I had what most people would call a dream life. Seven-figure business. A full calendar. A solid reputation. From the outside, I was thriving.
But inside?
I was disconnected. Exhausted. Starving for something I couldn’t name. I felt numb around my kids. My ambition had become a mask I didn’t know how to take off.
Then came the breakdown… and the breakthrough. Not overnight. Not clean. Not pretty.
But necessary.
I left what no longer fit. I grieved the life I’d outgrown. I got honest about how much I was hiding.
And slowly, I began to reimagine everything.
Wayfinders Was Born From That Fire
I didn’t want to lead retreats. I wanted to create rites of passage.
Experiences that would gut you, heal you, and awaken the part of you that never left… but got buried under success, stress, and survival.
I wanted to create something sacred.
A place for the high-achieving, spiritually-starving entrepreneur to finally exhale. To remember. To reconnect. To rise.
This Is What I Know Now
You can’t strategy your way to fulfillment.
Numbing isn’t rest. Avoidance isn’t peace.
Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a crossroads.
Your soul is whispering. You just forgot how to hear it.
Wayfinders is for the ones who are done pretending. It’s for the ones ready to burn the boats.
To stop performing and start belonging. To trade comfort for courage. To choose connection over isolation, truth over image, soul over status.
If that’s you… welcome.

The Secret Sauce
Our Adventures and Retreats are so much more than a trip or a travel experience or an adventure. They are the start of a lifelong journey: one into connection, community, self-exploration and growth.
Connection to an incredible and supportive community of entrepreneurs
Perspective and mindset shifts via the Wayfinders process
Deep clarity on your life and how to live it in full alignment and authenticity
Ongoing support before, during and after our events to help you live your most authentic life.
Our Guiding Principles
Summon the Village (ask for help)
Seek to Serve (help those asking for help)
Embrace The Unknown (take risks!)
Drop the Mask (vulnerability = connection)
Have Fun And Be a Little Ridiculous (or downright weird)
How is a Wayfinders experience different?
Although the format keeps evolving, these are a few of the things that will always make up a Wayfinders event:
Remote Bucket-List Destinations
Our events take place in some of the most remote and stunning places on Earth: places like the La Confluencia Lodge in Patagonia; Matava Resort on Kadavu Island in Fiji; Zhiwaling Ascent in Bhutan; Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge in Uganda; Tambopata Research Centre in the Amazon; Ilimanaq Lodge in Greenland.
It’s a commitment to get to our events, but that commitment is then reflected in how people show up and commit to the event itself.
Intense Immersion Into Local Cultures
We believe that other cultures have something valuable to teach us.
At every Wayfinders event, we immerse ourselves deeply in the local culture - whether it’s meditating with and learning about Buddhism from monks at a remote monastery in Bhutan or a potluck and kava ceremony with a remote Fijian village - in order to learn about other ways of being and seeing the world. Each of these interactions has the power to transform us and shape our lives for the better if we remain open to what these cultures have to offer us.
Small Groups
Our events range from 20 to 25 people, a size that allows for intimate connections to develop. You’ll come home with deep, lasting connections to a dozen or more people rather than shallow connections to a hundred.
A Heavy Dose of Adventure
Although there are exercises, forums, and talks, all designed to provide as much value as possible to participants, a significant portion of our time is spent outside and in the wilderness, taking part in group adventures that challenge us and connect us together.
Amazing People
Everyone who attends a Wayfinders event is either invited by me (Mike), referred by alumni, or has undergone a screening process.
What you’ll get when you join an event
(and the Wayfinders community)
An incredible bucket-list adventure in a spectacular destination, with every detail taken care of (so you don’t have to). All of our adventures are ‘put-away-your-wallet’ events once you land at the starting point - everything is included.
Peak experiences that will give you heavy dose of rejuvenation, connection, limit-pushing, excitement and joy - and energize you to push through whatever blocks you’re encountering
Peer-to-peer learning sessions on business and life with people at the top of their game
Small-group forums where you can share your biggest challenges and get valuable feedback on how to solve them
Opportunities to connect meaningfully (and stay connected) with incredible like-minded people who will support and push you to your next level of business and life success
Ongoing opportunities to connect with our larger alumni network of 70+ entrepreneurs from around the world, via our private online groups and frequent events (from dinners to weekend events around North America)
Frequently asked questions
-
You don’t have to be a crazy adrenaline junkie or a triathlete to take part in our events. For the adventure activities we typically break into smaller groups of 6-8 people, organized by adventure level (from mild to wild). You can choose which level to participate at on any given day.
You can expect to be gently pushed out of your comfort zone from time to time, but our goal is not to freak you out or scare the s@#$ out of you, and every effort is continually made to ensure your safety.
That said, you’re not interested in always playing it safe, are you?
-
Our Adventures and Retreats include membership in the Wayfinders community, which includes a year’s worth of programming (monthly calls, get-togethers, and more)
With Adventures and Retreats, you have to get to the starting point (usually an airport, where we pick you up), but once you arrive you can put away your wallet until you’re back at the airport at the conclusion of the event. Everything is typically covered - lodging, meals, activities, drinks, internal flights, and more - with the exception of your drinks tab, tips for staff, and souvenirs.
-
Any true adventure comes with an element of risk or it wouldn’t be an adventure. That said, all of our adventure activities are led by experienced, certified professional guides in small groups, with no more than 6-8 people per guide.
-
A Wayfinders event isn’t all go-go-go adventure all the time. We take plenty of time for relaxed meals, and each day has at least a couple of hours of downtime so you can continue a conversation with someone you’ve made a connection with, catch up on work if needed, or just chill out and enjoy the amazing surroundings.
-
Short answer: no.
We like to have fun, but we keep the partying reasonable (until the last night, of course). There are plenty of opportunities to party, but when else will you have the opportunity to have crazy adventures, learn from, and connect with incredible entrepreneurs from around the world?
For that reason, we keep alcohol consumption moderate by closing down the bar at 10:00 pm every night (except for the last night of course!). We want you to feel your best the next day and get maximum value from our itineraries.
My Promise To You
Join me and our community for a Wayfinders journey and I promise you’ll have the opportunity to partake in travel and adventure experiences that will rank among your life highlights.
I promise you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with incredible, generous and amazing entrepreneurs from around the world, and to be part of our amazing community.
I promise you these two things will play a significant part in your journey toward greater success, fulfilment, and joy.
However…
I just set the stage. You are the actor.
For you to truly experience the life-changing value of our events and our community, you have to answer the call. You have to embrace the unknown and take the leap. You have to drop the mask and drop the armour and trust that the outcome will be amazing.
If you’re ready to answer the call, get started by viewing our upcoming Adventures and Retreats and then submit an application.
Yours,
Mike Brcic, founder,
Wayfinders
