Same dates, same beautiful setting. New pricing (since we're not doing a full property buyout, this let me pass on some savings to you). Limited to 8 people! 

Two and a half days. Your strengths. Alaska's wild beauty. A reset you'll carry home.

What would it feel like to step away from the noise — not just for an afternoon, but for a full weekend — and spend that time reconnecting with what actually matters to you?

This September, join a small group of curious, open-minded people at Bluewater Basecamp, a private lodge nestled near Eklutna Lake with views of the Chugach Mountains, for an immersive experience in Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP). Across the weekend, you'll move through the MBSP curriculum — an evidence-based program that blends mindfulness with character strengths science to help you build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and reconnect with who you are at your best.

This isn't a lecture series with a bed attached. It's a true retreat — intimate group size (8 max), shared meals, sauna, bonfires, lakeside reflection, and a world-class program facilitated by someone who's been in the leadership trenches for over 25 years. Think of it as a professional development experience wrapped in Alaska's most beautiful season — golden birch, and the first dusting of snow on the peaks.

And it doesn't end when you leave the lake. Your registration includes three live virtual sessions in the weeks after the retreat, so the practice comes home with you and actually takes root.
Your facilitator, Cara Fox (CPTD, SPHR), was trained directly by the creator of MBSP, Dr. Ryan Niemiec. She brings deep expertise in leadership development, character strengths, and contemplative practice — and a genuine belief that the best leadership starts from the inside out.

No prior experience with mindfulness or character strengths required — just a willingness to slow down, pay attention, and discover what's already strong in you.
