About Moxie
Step Into the Wild and Reconnect With Yourself
Out here, under the open sky, it gets quiet enough to hear what really matters. You know deep down that success isn’t about titles or corner offices—it’s about knowing yourself, digging deep, and unapologetically stepping into who you are. Then letting that self lead.
Moxie experiences are made for people who have started their journey inward. Maybe you’ve read the books, done the work, asked the hard questions. Now you’re looking for something more—something that doesn’t come from a screen, a spreadsheet or another networking group. You're ready to step away from the noise, step into the wild, and reconnect with your own spark.
This is a place to breathe deeper. To lean in. To challenge yourself and hold space for what’s real while also letting your inner wisdom guide you. You’ll laugh, reflect, move your body, ask better questions, and leave with a community of people who get it—who are right there beside you doing the same thing.
It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you are—and learning how to show up with that same clarity in your relationships, your work, and your life.
When you Invest in Yourself with Intention, Everything Else Shifts.
The Science Behind Moxie: A Gentle, Brain-Based Path to Growth
At Moxie Experiences, we draw on insights from neuroscience, regenerative design and whole-person development. Why? Because meaningful change happens when the brain feels safe, supported, and curious.
Instead of pushing for big change all at once, we invite you into small, intentional experiments that help rewire old patterns and awaken new ways of being. These experiments are playful, reflective, and deeply personal—giving you space to listen inward and notice what shifts when you do.
We work with the brain’s neuroplasticity—its ability to change through experience—and pair that with rest, reflection, and emotional awareness so insights can truly land and take root.
We Believe:
Change happens in the pause
Emotions are signals, not obstacles
Your brain is wired for connection, creativity, and renewal
Every Moxie experience is designed to nurture the inner and outer conditions for sustainable growth—rooted in science, guided by nature, and grounded in your own inner wisdom.
This is growth that honors your biology and your spirit.

Founder’s Story
Moxie Experiences was born in the aftermath of a life-altering moment—a moment that cracked open the ordinary and demanded a promise be made.
It started just weeks after returning from Southeast Asia, when a mysterious internal bleed landed me in the ICU. Surrounded by teams of specialists with no clear diagnosis, I hovered in uncertainty. I remember staring at the ceiling tiles, whispering a vow to any force that would listen: “If I make it out of here, I’ll leave my career in advertising and pursue my dream—to become an Outward Bound Instructor.”
That near-death experience became a defining moment. Days later, when the bleeding inexplicably stopped, I kept my promise. I mailed in my Outward Bound application from my hospital bed. Four months later—with what felt like divine timing—I was in Colorado, immersed in a 70-day wilderness training that would change my life.
My time in the backcountry gave me more than technical skills- it revealed the power of community, the wisdom held in challenge, and the deep, transformative intelligence of nature. It awakened something ancient and essential in me.
Since then, I’ve spent decades designing and leading transformative learning experiences in education, tech, and leadership development. I came to believe that leadership is not about titles or roles; it’s about how we show up for ourselves, each other, and the world. It’s relational. It’s human.
Moxie Experiences is the Culmination of that Journey.
Each nature-based experience is designed to reconnect you with your inner wisdom and the wild intelligence of the Earth, helping you lead a life that is more joyful, meaningful, and alive.
