The Lead Feather Mission

“Larry and Cheryl, you are doing something magical.  It’s like seeing, tasting, feeling and touching pure joy.  I keep trying to tell everyone about it and I’m coming up short. My words can’t do the experience justice. I can’t wait until I can go on another Lead Feather journey.” – Allison C.

Lead Feather’s immersive, supportive wilderness journeys empower a connection with your true nature.  Experience guided adventures and solo reflection time, deepened through nature-based ceremony, story and song. Lead Feather journeyers emerge with greater trust in themselves and clarity about their life purpose.
