You’re on a snowmobile, riding across a frozen landscape. The sky is winter-clear. Your breath meets pine. And for the first time in months…your mind isn’t spinning. Later, you’ll soak in a steaming backcountry hot spring, surrounded by snowdrifts and silence, while your nervous system does something it hasn’t in years: Rest.

Tools and take-home practices to stay regulated without overwhelm
You won't find jam-packed schedules or get lost in the crowd. Our retreats follow a simple rhythm designed to restore your nervous system, not flood it.
Here is what this retreat will look like:
Backcountry + Hot Springs Reset
You’ll snowmobile into the Idaho backcountry, a frozen wilderness where the noise stops and breath returns. After lunch by the wood burning stove, you’ll soak in natural hot springs surrounded by snow, letting your body soften into the contrast. This is not adrenaline, it’s awakening. The survival patterns that ruled your week don’t follow you out here.
Arrival + Unbracing
The moment we depart for McCall, the descent begins, from overstimulation to stillness. After a scenic drive, you’ll arrive at the lodge, settle into quiet space, and join a gentle welcome session where we name what’s been held…and what’s ready to be released. You’ll be invited to set a personal intention for what you want to experience, reclaim, or remember over the next three days. No pressure. Just permission.
The final morning is simple and structured. You’ll receive a personalized Ritual of Return™ your 72-hour reentry plan built around your archetype and energy. You’ll leave with tools to keep this reset alive after the retreat, and a body that remembers what regulation actually feels like.
This isn’t restriction, it’s regulation. Nourishment you can feel, prepared by our private chef.
Return + Release
Identity, Embodiment + Integration
You’ll begin the day with a guided session to reconnect with your sense of self, not the roles you play, but the truth underneath. We’ll explore self-worth, internal safety, and how to stop outsourcing your value. From there, you drop into full-body restoration: massage, spa access, and a trauma-informed breathwork session to help your nervous system integrate everything it’s releasing.
introducing...
After 20+ years leading in combat zones, disaster relief, corporate boardrooms, and nonprofit leadership, I know what it’s like to hold it all until your body says “no more.” An Army veteran, military spouse, and stepmom, I created True North Resilience after my own collapse from survival-mode leadership. This work is rooted in evidence-based science, lived leadership, and the Six Pillars of Resilience I now teach. As a certified NEUROFIT practitioner, my role isn’t to fix you, it’s to walk beside you as you unbrace, regulate, and rise.

Meet the Team
My background as a Registered Nurse adds another layer of care to the way I holds space, blending knowledge of the body with deep respect for the heart.
Grounded presence. Trauma-informed space-holder. Deep breath in human form.
My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins the moment we pause, breathe, and listen within. I discovered breathwork in a season of deep grief and physical pain, when life felt heavy and uncertain, and it became a way to return home to myself - one breath at a time.
As a certified Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator and SUP Yoga Teacher, my experience guiding groups, retreats, and nature-based practices is where my heart lies. Whether leading a breathwork journey on land, floating on the water, or gathering in circle, my intention is always the same - to meet you exactly where you are and walk beside you as you reconnect with your body’s wisdom.

In 2004, Amy's Whole Food Creations was born, turning my culinary dream into reality. My experience as an executive chef for prestigious wineries and clientele, combined with hands-on training at fine dining restaurants, allows me to deliver customized dining experiences. I am ertified in food safety and preparation, and holding a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Idaho, I also provide nutrition and lifestyle consultations to clients throughout Idaho and across the United States.

If you need or are seeking counseling or therapy, these retreats are not for that. While these retreats are designed with trauma informed principles and safety at the center, we are not therapists. Participation is always opt-in. No one will be pressured to share, be touched, or perform healing. We respect your story, your privacy, and your boundaries.
Retreat Policies, Safety, and Cancellation
All participants are required to sign a general liability waiver prior to attending. This includes acknowledgement of physical, emotional, or environmental risks associated with adventure-based activities, as well as participation in somatic or nervous system practices. By registering, you agree to complete the required waiver and understand that participation is voluntary and undertaken at your own risk.
Cancellations made 30 days before the retreat start date will incur a 33% cancellation fee based on the total registration cost. After that point, no refunds can be issued due to pre-paid expenses and commitments made on your behalf. If you're unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to another approved guest with permission from the retreat hosts. We strongly encourage travel insurance to help protect your plans and investment.
While we are committed to delivering an extraordinary experience, certain circumstances beyond our control, such as severe weather, natural disasters (including wildfires), public health emergencies, or conditions that make specific activities unsafe or impossible, may require changes to the itinerary, delay, or cancellation.
Guests will be offered the choice to transfer their payment to a future retreat date or receive a partial refund, minus any non-recoverable costs already incurred.
If a specific activity is cancelled but the retreat itself proceeds, no refunds will be issued for individual experience changes. Every effort will be made to book a suitable replacement activity.
