Navigating the Storm
Finding Peace and Purpose in Uncertain Times
Friday, Sep 28 – Sunday, Sep. 30, 2018
This is a rare opportunity to spend the weekend with author and life coach Martha Beck, Ph.D. She’ll use concepts, stories, and exercises to teach you the skills for navigating any life storm.
You’ll learn to release attachments that make storms destructive. You’ll become more skilled at “riding the wind,” becoming fluid and flexible. And you’ll connect with an inexhaustible source of comfort and creativity to help you weather anything life throws at you.
Whether you’re facing a specific challenge, feeling stuck, or preparing to take a leap into the unknown, the tools you gain from this workshop will serve you well. And you’ll be learning in the company of others who can cheer, guide, and encourage you.
Among other things, you will:
- Identify and release the unhealthy attachments that can make you rigid and frozen, unable to adapt to the rapidly-changing conditions of a life storm.
- Find the “true nature” at the core of your psyche that knows how to ride out even the most frightening situations.
- Use life storms to stimulate more creativity, joy, and personal power, rather than destroying you.
- Come up with innovative solutions for the practical problems in your life, and also in the world around you.
After this workshop, you’ll emerge with renewed hope and courage, as well as practical skills that will help you ride every life storm, small or large, to a more joyful place.

The 2018 African STAR:
A Self-Transformation Adventure Retreat
June 3-7, 2018 or June 10-14, 2018
You were meant to live in peace, with purpose, and deep connection to the world, others, yourself.
Discover exactly what that purpose is. For you, for your lifetime.
Take the step that will help you heal not only yourself but help you heal others and heal the world. Registration for 2018 is closed but you can join the first to know list for 2019 African STAR by Martha Beck, today.
It’s a modern-day quest. A coming-of-age journey for exactly-the-age-you-are-now. The African STAR is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will transform you and your world.
And this is your time to begin the story of how you found your true self. A story that is grander, and wilder, than anything you could imagine now. A story you will tell—and retell—for the rest of your life. A story Nature herself has been conspiring to lead you to all along.
Track Your Life
An African Retreat For Men with Boyd Varty
June 15-19, 2016 | Londolozi Game Reserve, South Africa
Somewhere in the African bushveld, just before dawn, a small group of men sit in silence as the last stars fade. They carry no cellphones and wear no watches. They are still, listening for the clues that will tell them where to begin the day’s animal tracking.
When the signal comes–the roar of a lion, the alarm call of a nyala–they stir, and as a group they move forward to cut the track. They are on the trail, where the challenge and the adventure begins. They rely on each other absolutely and their shared endeavour gives rise to that rarest thing in the modern world: a true sense of brotherhood.
This is your call to adventure: join them.

The 2017 LEAP Retreat
Liberation, Equanimity, Alignment, Power
May 4—7, 2017 | Deer Valley, Utah
Are you ready to make quantum leaps in your life and create meaningful and lasting change in your world and the world around you? Join Martha Beck & Boyd Varty in beautiful Deer Valley, Utah for four days of deep connection, transformational coaching, riveting storytelling, stunning insight, and—of course—lots of laughter, fun, and magic!
Join us this spring and you will identify and release negative patterns that impede your happiness and progress. You will explore aspects of your consciousness in which there is very little suffering, and enormous loving power. You’ll learn to balance yourself through alignment with your own true nature, and to regain that balance quickly if you lose it. Finally, you’ll see how you can create an outward manifestation of your best inward self, forming a community (and perhaps a world) that reflects the quiet confidence and steadiness you are meant to embody.
Navigating the Storm
Finding Peace and Purpose in Uncertain Times
February 2-4, 2018 ~ 2 Nights
Find peace and purpose in uncertain times and gain powerful tools to navigate in uncharted territory. This is a special opportunity to spend the weekend with renowned life coach Martha Beck PhD. Through her engaging lectures, anecdotes, and experiential exercises, you will learn to live authentically, release negative behavior patterns, go deeper into yourself, and discover and experience a never-ending source of comfort and compassion.
Whether you feel stuck in some aspect of your life and are seeking expert guidance for taking a big leap, or you are looking for ways to feel happier, less stressed, and more fulfilled in life as you know it, this weekend will give you the courage to discover and take the next steps.
In this self-empowering weekend, you will:
- Learn to drop away from the “tameness” of socialization that has been holding you back from living freely and authentically
- Find your own “wild self” that has always been guiding you toward your optimal life path
- Tap into limitless resources of power, creativity, peace, purpose, and joy
- Use your wild mind—in real time—to invent creative, often unprecedented solutions to the practical problems in your current life situation and in the world at large.
You will return home with new peace, purpose, and practices to carry the skills you experienced in this program into every aspect of your life.
Event Agenda
Friday Evening
The initial session will help students relax into the environment of Multiversity and gain a sense of peaceful separation from the pressures of their everyday lives. As the evening continues, the discussion and exercises will help them become more aware of areas in which socialization and/or trauma are influencing their choices. Clearly noticing these inner dynamics will help them begin to identify their authentic preferences and desires.
Saturday Morning
The morning session will pick up where the evening session left off, with concepts and exercises designed to give students clearer, more immediate access to their “sense of truth.” This will bring up a stronger desire to live authentically and a vision of what each student might achieve given unlimited freedom—and also an awareness of the psychological and social pressures that may be keeping them from making authentic choices.
Saturday Afternoon
Building on the morning session, the afternoon will focus on finding reserves of peace and strength to help students break away from inauthentic choices and live the lives they truly desire. Martha will coach some individuals through potentially difficult situations they may encounter as they begin to make the changes necessary for their happiness and fulfillment.
Sunday Morning
Sunday will be devoted almost entirely to questions, answers, and coaching. Students will receive additional tools to help them break free from limiting patterns and build lives of joy and integrity. Martha’s work with individuals will help the other students see, in real time, how they can find the truth within themselves and begin expressing it in every area of their lives (which happens to be the key to well-being).
