SOUTHERN UTAH OUTDOOR INTENSIVE
A four-day immersive group therapy experience in the red rock desert
Step out of the noise of daily life and into a thoughtfully guided therapeutic intensive set in the vast, grounding landscapes of Southern Utah. This experience is designed for adults seeking clarity, connection, and momentum—supported by nature, community, and skilled clinicians.
From sunrise yoga to fireside process groups, each day weaves evidence-based therapeutic practices with experiential outdoor activities. Nature becomes both container and co-therapist: steady, honest, and quietly transformational.
