NATURAL RESET

Take To The Mountains

THE OUTDOORS HAVE BEEN LINKED TO A 50% Reduction in Anxiety & Depression Symptoms

Nature is more than just a backdrop—it’s a powerful tool for reducing stress, improving mental clarity, and restoring overall well-being. Studies show that spending just 20 minutes in nature can significantly lower cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, and time outdoors has been linked to a 50% reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms (NIH). Veterans engaging in outdoor therapy report a 29% decrease in PTSD symptoms, while first responders who regularly connect with nature experience lower burnout and increased emotional resilience.

With True North Adventures, we harness these benefits through intentional outdoor experiences, retreats, and skill-building programs that help participants reset, reconnect, and build a stronger capacity for life’s challenges. Whether it’s hiking, wilderness education, or a multi-day retreat, our programs create the space needed for reflection, growth, and stress relief.
