Back to Us: Nature-Based Family Journeys That Change How You Connect

Space to Breathe, Room to Reconnect

Sometimes the best way to reconnect is to step outside of everything that's pulling at you. Our Back to Us nature-based journeys give families the chance to slow down together, get out of the daily grind, and have conversations that feel almost impossible at home. Supported by Solutions’ coaches and experienced guides, these trips are a natural extension of our coaching, offering space, perspective, and moments of real connection that tend to stick long after you're back.

When Home Stops Feeling Like Home

These Back to Us nature-based journeys are designed for families who feel caught in constant tension, disconnection, or the pressure of everyday life. Away from screens, schedules, and familiar patterns, families have space to communicate differently, and reconnect in ways that often feel difficult at home. Guided by Solutions coaches and experienced outdoor leaders, each experience is a natural extension of our coaching giving you fresh perspective and moments of real connection that continues long after the trip ends.

Who This Helps

Nature-based journeys are especially meaningful for families who feel a bit stuck, out of sync, or quietly drifting apart, and who want support outside the intensity of everyday life. They're a great fit for parents seeking a reset in a different environment and for teens or young adults who tend to open up more while walking, moving, or being side by side rather than face to face. We welcome individuals, couples, and families with preteens, teens, and young adults who want to step away from the day-to-day and reconnect with nature, themselves, and one another.

Why Nature Helps

  • Movement and fresh air naturally calm the nervous system, making it easier to be present and think clearly

  • Walking or sitting side by side often feels safer and more comfortable than face-to-face conversations

  • Nature softens emotional intensity, allowing difficult topics to surface without escalating

  • Shared experiences in the outdoors build connection without forcing conversation or outcomes

  • Research consistently shows that time in nature reduces stress, improves mood, and supports clearer thinking, something families feel almost immediately when they step away from daily routines

What These Experiences Look Like

These journeys blend guided wilderness adventure with in-the-moment coaching that drives immediate family connection.

Days are spent kayaking, beach camping, hiking, and stepping away from the screens, and distractions that often keep families stuck at home. With experienced guides managing logistics and Solutions coaches supporting the experience before, during, and after each journey, families can stay focused on what matters most: rebuilding trust, communicating differently, and creating moments of connection that continue long after the trip ends.

With professional guides handling logistics and pre- and post-trip check-ins built in, families can stay focused on what matters, and often return home with calmer communication, surprising moments of openness, and practical tools that make daily life feel lighter.
