As we settle into camp and prepare for the journey ahead, we begin with a land acknowledgment—recognizing that Yellowstone National Park rests on the ancestral lands of Indigenous peoples, including the Shoshone, Crow, Blackfeet, Bannock, and other Tribal Nations who have lived, stewarded, and honored these lands for generations. We hold gratitude for the opportunity to explore this space and reflect on how we can engage with the land respectfully and responsibly. Following this, we’ll take time for a guided journaling and intention-setting session to ground ourselves in the adventure. 📖 What to Expect: A moment of recognition for the Indigenous history and legacy of Yellowstone. Journaling prompts to reflect on your connection to nature, what you hope to gain from this journey, and what adventure means to you. An open space for sharing thoughts (if comfortable) as we set personal and collective intentions for the experience ahead. 🔥 Under the glow of the campfire, this gathering will set the tone for our trip—encouraging mindfulness, community, and deep appreciation for the landscapes we are about to explore. (Journals will be provided, or bring your own!)
