For most of us, there’s a pivotal moment in our lives when we find ourselves standing on the edge of life’s chasm, wanting more.
We may feel stuck, unsure of what’s next, or anxious from everyday pressures. Perhaps we’ve experienced challenges or trauma and don’t know where to turn or what to do. Or maybe we’re feeling restless, even though our lives “look” great.
Whatever our current situation, that pivotal moment speaks the same truth to all of us, “I want more than what I have at this moment.”
Our natural instinct is to wait for this feeling to pass and for things to “go back to normal.” But what we need to do at that moment is BOLDLY MOVE FORWARD.
I found myself at rock bottom in 2013. Trauma hit me hard. I needed to heal, grow, and find myself again. I needed to move forward in my life, and so I went into the Grand Canyon to discover all of who I could be.
It worked. And now I want the same for you.
Your Way Out is
Forward
Welcome to our Grand Canyon Retreat.
It has been an honor and a privilege to have learned from Sara. Through profound experience and action, she is the real deal. Anyone can learn from a textbook, but Sara has learned from being in the thick of it. The lessons learned will last you and your teams for a lifetime.”

The Experience of a Lifetime
This retreat is the only one of its kind in the Grand Canyon.
Together we adventure on trails and deep-dive into self through facilitated group coaching, focusing on turning your pain points into your greatest strengths.
And so much more.
The Grandeur
of the Canyon Is
Calling You
Combining coaching and adventuring in nature has a rich history of being a powerful and transformative tool. This trip differs from others. You are with a team of peers and a supportive wilderness guide, keynote speaker, author, and certified coach, Sara Schulting Kranz, providing unique opportunities for personal growth.
Pre and Post Retreat Support:
Led on ZOOM
Your adventure begins in group coaching calls led by Sara. Deep-dive into your values, set your intentions, understand your story and patterns, and learn from others’ experiences in a supportive environment.
PRE-HIKE: 2-weeks of group coaching calls and a 1-hour private coaching session with Sara.
POST-HIKE: 2-weeks of group coaching.
On the Retreat
You will hike from the South Rim to Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon and spend 2- or 3-nights in a beautiful creek-side cabin. Sara will guide you through approximately 20+ miles of trails that take you through 2 billion years of geological history.
Your journey includes coaching and meditating on 6-million-year-old rocks and under the stars, while allowing your inner child to adventure. It is pure magic!
Be one of the very few who experience personal growth, healing, and transformation in the vastness of the Grand Canyon!
Sara has harnessed her suffering and gifts to create a magical coaching endeavor, one that offers transformation, growth, and healing to anyone who wants to hike beside her.
Her warmth and natural leadership provides a safe space for groups to dig deep and crack open their hearts, minds, and souls — all while being mended by the force of nature around them and within them. Sara unapologetically models love of self and the arduous process of genuine forgiveness of self and others. My time with her and my tramily (trail family) in the Grand Canyon was unforgettable.”

If you are taking your first step on your personal journey or are well on your way and are looking to continue your practice of leaning into a more joy-filled life, this is the space for you.
Community and connection are essential for change. These retreats are designed to meet you where you are, regardless of the switchbacks you’re navigating in your life.
We all deserve to disconnect from the outside world and deepen our relationship with self. To connect with others and know that we are not alone. There are no other retreats out there like this.
This program is designed to be a long-term compass on your life journey. I walk you through steps to use nature in life, and I share my own personal methods for embracing growth. We all deserve space to find truth, inspiration, and hope.
My way of becoming who I am today was unconventional. Yet, it worked. Everything here helped get me to where I am today, and I want the same for you.

I was blessed to have gone on Sara’s Journey in the Grand Canyon at Christmas 2020 – it was magical. My heart was cracked wide open.
Love, worthiness, and compassion for self was seen within me for the first time. Being held by another touched the core of my soul – I had never experienced that much peace, unconditional love, and laughter in life. Take that step into the Grand Canyon with Sara and “choose you.”

What Is Included
And so much more…
I did not understand what Sara meant when she said the GC retreat would change my life forever…while the bonding and support was AMAZING, it was the process of facing my personal fears, hours spent defining my values, pushing through emotional and physical pain, and tapping into strength that astounded even me!
But mostly…the MONUMENTAL accomplishment of hiking into and out of that canyon!”

Unstuck + Free: How to Live
Outside Your Comfort Zone
Unstuck + Free: How to Live Outside Your Comfort Zone is an immersive digital course that brings “learning from the trail to life” with HD videos, a guided visualization, my own personal learning, and downloadable pdf worksheets.
This course will deepen your sense of self and guide you towards choice, freedom, and alignment with what sets your soul on fire. Recorded from the trails on Mt. Baldy in Southern California, watch and learn from this course at your leisure. (I loved creating this for you! And you hear a rock slide.. )
I was nervous and kept making excuses because I am not a “hiker” or it is not the right time, etc… I am so glad I said YES! I loved every aspect of this amazing adventure.
I made new lifelong friends and will never forget the beauty and magic we experienced in the Grand Canyon. Sara is so supportive, caring, fierce, hilarious, and SUPER FUN and I hope everyone gets an opportunity to join her. I am so proud to be a part of the 1% of 1% of the people that visit the Grand Canyon to have hiked all the way to the bottom… WOOHOOO!”
