An Encounter is a nature-based trauma therapy intensive. These intensives involve five days of intentional and focused trauma therapy paired with the catalytic healing benefits of nature. These intensives are led by licensed mental health trauma therapist and outdoor professionals with extensive guiding and backcountry medicine experience.

An Encounter Trip is currently $500. For individuals who have experienced human trafficking, the trip is free and a $50 deposit is required to secure a spot.

We have a three step application process for our Encounter Trips.

1. Submit an Encounter Trip Application

2. Set up an interview with our clinical director

3. Submit your trip fee to secure your spot and complete trip paperwork including a medical information form, liability release form, a clinical disclosure form, transportation form and emergency contact form.

During your Encounter, Logos will provide, in addition to trauma therapy by licensed professionals, transportation from and to Denver International Airport (DEN or DIA), room and board, and any gear you may need apart from a personal small backpack and water bottles, personal clothes for hiking, hiking shoes or boots, and personal toiletries.

A more detailed packing list is provided to Encounter participants or upon request.

Unfortunately, we are not able to bill insurances directly for these intensives. We are happy to provide you with a Superbill if you would like to try to get reimbursed by your insurance provider.

Your safety and the safety of the group is always our first priority and we take many steps to ensure your safety. Some ways we do this is through trip planning, preparation, and having access to medical support and logistical support. Additionally, your Encounter guides are well experienced in the backcountry and are trained as Wilderness First Responders.
