Prepare to emerge from this journey with your perspective on life forever shifted.

Prepare to forge deep connections with an incredible community of entrepreneurs, with a close-knit group of people who will support you, hold you accountable, and walk the human journey with you for years to come.

THE WAYFINDERS JOURNEY

A JOURNEY OF EPIC PROPORTIONS

A Wayfinders adventure is so much more than a trip or a travel experience or an adventure. It is all of that, but it is also the start of a journey: one of connection, community, self-exploration and growth, and the most meaningful adventure you can possibly undertake.

Here’s what you’ll get:

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 the event to help you live your best life.
Ten days of the most badass adventure on the planet

The wayfinders mongolia experience

A JOURNEY LIKE NO OTHER

our wildest and most unique event ever.

At Wayfinders: Mongolia we will be living with a group of Mongolian nomads in remote western Mongolia, near the Kazakhstan and Xingian (China) borders, and following them on their fall migration to their winter grounds.

This region, near the famed Altai mountains, is surrounded by spectacular peaks, rushing rivers, massive vistas and some of the wildest wilderness on Earth. It’s a place to discover your soul and let it soar.

We’ll live directly among the nomads, sleeping in deluxe tents and eating and meeting in comfortable gers (yurts). We’ll accompany them on their eagle-hunting excursions (hunting with eagles, not for them), help them tend to their animals, learn their language, and laugh, cry and enjoy life with this unique group of people.

We’ll also enjoy myriad adventures, from scaling surrounding peaks to exploring rivers and remote valleys.

We’ll spend the first few days in their summer camp, then accompany them on their migration to their winter grounds. We’ll experience life in much the same manner their ancestors have for thousands of years.

Prepare to experience adventure, connection and immersion into the grand mystery of life on a level you’ve never experienced before.

THE WAYFINDERS MODEL

The Wayfinders Model of Change

Our model uses the three Cs of:

Community
Challenge
Culture

What you get as a result is deep connection: to yourself, to others, to the natural world, and to something bigger.

COMMUNITY

You’ll experience community on a level you’ve never experienced before, with connections to an incredible community of successful entrepreneurs and amazing humans.

CHALLENGE

It’s only by stretching our boundaries - physical, emotional, spiritual and more - that we learn what we are truly capable of. We push you into your stretch zone, but never your panic zone.

CULTURE

You’ll immerse deeply with other cultures that offer incredible lessons on living a meaningful and harmonious life, taking home valuable lessons and perspective shifts.

Learning and ConnectiON

Learning AND Connection

Learning and Connection are at the heart of a Wayfinders experience.

Learning experiences are structured for maximum benefit and clarity, through facilitation with experienced facilitators.

Connection with your fellow entrepreneurs happens via facilitated experiences, shared adventures, downtime, and deep conversations.

LEARNING AND CONNECTION COMPONENTS:

SMALL-GROUP SESSIONS

In groups of 4 called Moais, you’ll share your biggest life and business challenges and benefit from the wisdom of a wicked-smart peer group.

AUTHENTICITY EXERCISES

Go inward via exercises designed and facilitated by Mike and Justin, to help you discover the path toward your most authentic and fulfilling life.

CONNECTION EXERCISES

Facilitated, structured exercises that help you go deep fast, and develop intimate connections with an incredible group of your peers.

The LODGING

OUR LODGING

At Wayfinders: Mongolia we will have very unique ‘glamping’ (or as glamping as you can get in western Mongolia) accommodations in gers (yurts) and bell tents.

Sleeping quarters will be in winterized 5m tents, outfitted with beds, comfortable bedding, dressers, heaters, lights and more. They are quite comfortable and warm.

Our eating and meeting quarters will be in large, traditional Mongolian gers (yurts). We’ll be living much like the Mongolian nomads do.

Wayfinders is for bold, adventurous entrepreneurs who consistently invest in themselves, their knowledge and their networks - and like to have a ton of fun and challenge themselves while doing it.
Our typical Explorer is an entrepreneur aged 35-55, North America-based, and leading a company in the $750K to $5M annual revenue range. We generally have about a 50-50 gender split at our Experiences.
No experience is required (we will be primarily exploring on foot and horseback, and you will receive lessons on how to ride Kazakh horses), although reasonable physical fitness is a prerequisite. You should be able to hike for 5 to 7 hours at a moderate pace.
Our meeting point will be our hotel in Ulaanbatar, the Ibis Styles. You should plan to be there for dinner on Oct. 08, but ideally you should arrive on Oct. 07 to give yourself an extra night of jet lag acclimatization.
We’ll return to Ulaanbatar late afternoon on Oct. 18. You could fly out that night, although that is not recommended.
Your spot includes your booking at the Ibis Styles for the nights of Oct. 07, 08, and 18.
Basic level includes shared rooming in a double room at our hotel in Ulaanbatar, and shared tents during the adventure (2/tent).
Plus and Premium level include single rooming at our hotel and single tents during the adventure.
You will be provided with a detailed packing list 8 weeks prior to the event, and a final weather-dependent list just prior to the event.
Once you’re booked, you’re booked, and no refunds are available (we want people who are fully committed to the event and the community, and aren’t going to let ‘busyness’ get in the way of a life-transforming experience). Things happen, of course, so for that reason, we strongly recommend you purchase trip cancellation insurance.
Although we cannot offer a refund, if we can find someone to take your spot then you can get a full credit toward a future adventure.
Because of the limited rooming available at Tweedsmuir Park Lodge, we will have no availability on Wayfinders: GBR for partners and kids.
If you are interested in bringing your partner and/or kids, please let us know and we’ll put you on a list for when we run a family event.
Many of our 2023 participants mentioned that being offline and fully present with others for 8 days was one of the highlights of the experience.
That said, safety and good communication are important to us! We will have a Zoleo satellite communication device you can use if you need to communicate with loved ones (or if they need to reach you), and we will have a satellite phone for emergency use if needed.
That’s a valid concern! We will be in a very remote area, far from ‘civilization’ for most of our time in western Mongolia.
Rest assured that we have safety and emergency protocols in place for all scenarios. Mike and Justin, the facilitators, are both trained in Wilderness First Aid, and emergency evacuation protocols are in place.
For mild to moderate emergencies, the hospital in Ulgii is a maximum of 3 hours away by van. and for more serious emergencies, helicopter evacuation can be arranged for transport to Ulgii or Khovd, as well as further evacuation if needed to Ulaanbaatar, where hospitals are adequately staffed and resourced for almost all emergencies.
Giving our all to our kids is part of being a parent. But sacrificing our needs is not the ideal way to serve our families.
Taking time to take care of your own needs and desires, and getting clarity on those needs and desires, far outweighs the short-term impact of being away from your family for 10-12 days.
That said, we get it and no one said it was easy. But there’s a high likelihood you will come back a happier, clearer and more energized parent and/or spouse.
If you have already been in contact with Mike he will send you the booking link. If you have not been in contact, please submit a short application and he will reach out to schedule a call.
