EMP Immersions
There is nothing that compares to a week spent practicing natural movement, deeply immersed in the beauty of the wild, surrounded by a tribe of fellow movers, overcoming challenges, sharing meals and chatting around the campfire.
Our week-long immersions allow us to go far deeper into sharing our approach than a weekend can, and the connections created through a week of shared experience help our students overcome themselves and become stronger people in ways that exceeded all our expectations when we started these seminars. There is nothing else like this!
The longer format also allows us to explore more of the connection between natural movement and wilderness skills, which is amplified in our collaborative immersions.
