July 12–19, 2026 • Boulder, Utah
Not a retreat.
A reckoning.
You arrive a strong leader at a turning point — stuck, restless, and tired of guessing why. You leave with self-trust, clarity, and a new playbook for focused, empowered rebellion.
F*ck comfort. Find fire.
Safety isn’t the goal. Freedom is.
This is not for everyone.
That’s the point.
Not for you if you want glamping, comfort, or a week of “talking about change.”
Not for you if you’re looking for a quick fix, an easy breakthrough, or someone else to hand you answers.
For you if you’re tired of your comfort zone, want more, and are done pretending you don’t feel stuck.
For you if you’re ready to move, lead, and come home different — with skills and internal proof that you can handle what’s next.
Meet the Instructors
Field mastery + leadership integration.
- BOSS provides certified outdoor survival instructors and field leadership — real desert skills, real standards, real safety.
- Kristen Johnson is the leadership coach — self-worth, self-trust, clarity under pressure, boundaries, and integration when you return home.
- Why the desert? Because comfort is where your brain negotiates. The desert is where you stop negotiating and start leading.
Real outcomes. Not hype.
Proof beats promises.
“
The training was highly informative and well-received. Two participants moved into leadership roles,
and afterward morale and communication noticeably improved. I would recommend this work to other organizations
without hesitation.
