Great Bear Rainforest, BC, Canada
Leadership & Culture Retreat
Fly into the remote great bear rainforest of BC to learn about indigenous history, culture, and leadership principles, tour a rare ecosystem with white spirit bears, and create incredible memories with your team
Step away from the busyness of the modern world an immerse yourself into the magical, rugged, and otherworldly oasis of the Great Bear Rainforest. This 5-day retreat takes place in partnership with Nawalakw, an indigenous-run retreat centre in a remote part of British Columbia. For teams looking to develop cultural awareness around First Nations and their history, bond over wild excursions in nature, and find a reset through the peacefulness of these untouched landscapes, this trip offers a rare opportunity that you'll never forget.
This trip offers the opportunity to experience a rarely visited part of the world, unwind in the beauty of rugged nature, and bond as a team, all while supporting a meaningful cause. Nawalakw has hosted teams of 20+ people from Fortune 500 companies for leadership and culture retreats, who later gave rave reviews. Your retreat here will leave you feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to nature and the indigenous people who have been stewards of it for hundreds of thousands of years.
Here's a sample itinerary of what your trip could look like.
Nawalakw is a gathering place, ecotourism destination, and learning environment for the Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw people and guests from around the world. Nawalakw means “supernatural” in Kwak̓wala. It is an ongoing project that supports the preservation of the Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw people, including serving as a site for kids language and culture camps. Your trip supports the Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw people in their prosperity and growth.
This immersive marine and terrestrial experience is enhanced by knowledgeable kwakwaka’wakw guides who share insights into the region’s ecology and heritage.
The Great Bear Rainforest hosts a rich diversity of wildlife, including coastal gray wolves, grizzly and black bears, the rare white-coated spirit (Kermode) bears, Sitka deer, cougars, and more.
The Great Bear Rainforest is a globally unique ecosystem where ancient forests and rare wildlife thrive through collaborative conservation.

Chris and his team were the perfect guides for this fun and transformational experience. Chris is in his element in a canoe and in the Algonquin terrain. He pushed us while allowing us the space to learn and grow. We ate well, were supplied with all the equipment we would need, and always felt safe. Reach out to Chris and his teamand see how they can create an experience that will touch your soul!
In situations where i previously wasn't doing a good job of taking control (ie. a moment of entrepreneurial overwhelm, self-sabotage) - I didn't have the tools to stop those interactions. Now, that’s completely changed.
I left for the trip feeling pulled away from my life (work/wife/kids/etc) and I came back feeling refreshed and given another chance to enjoy life.
CK and his crew are awesome. They managed to guide, care for, and feed a group of 30 without a hitch. This was a trip for a mens' empowerment group and we ate like kings every day.
CK was able to bring such a vibe and skill that even the most "manly man" was willing to talk about the challenges they've had and to help each other heal and grow.
The retreat was an incredible safe space and community of men to grow in wellbeing and make a paradigm shift together into further growth and healing. As a busy COO of one of America's fastest-growing companies, it's been so long since l've had the right opportunity to unplug and take the special time needed to reconnect with myself, find healing, and practice mindfulness - and the Reconnect Retreat was the perfect place to do that and even discover like-minded brothers and get excellent guidance in emotional wellbeing.
From the moment everyone was together, Louis and Jack created a warm, open, and accepting environment for everyone.
There was an immediate sense of safety that allowed me to bring down my walls and truly explore myself and express it.
Details were meticulous. Every morning, there were sessions to settle into yourself for the experiences of the day. I would encourage anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness and care to do so with skilled guides to not think twice about attending a POC retreat. The only bad thing I have to say is that I wanted more time with the incredible men who attended the retreat.
