Small-group journeys

Wild Places. Bold Journeys. Built for Growth.

You got really good at your game. You care deeply about what you do—and how you show up for others. Now come find out what it feels like to be fully alive: immersed in some of the last wild places on Earth, alongside fellow high performers with open hearts, curious minds, and a sense of wonder.

My purpose is to lead humans on journeys into wild places that spark them to come home more courageous, loving, and true to themselves — ready to live their one precious life fully.

Dr. Weili, founder

Here’s what we promise.

Wild Places.

Remote corners of the world most travelers never reach, shared with very few other people.

Bold Journeys.

Outside your comfort zone, on purpose. Every journey asks something of you, and rewards you richly.

Built for Growth.

You’re thirsty to grow in every part of your life. Reaching your full potential and living life fully: what if you could do both? Find your magic on the journey, and bring it home to the rest of your life.

I didn’t know the itinerary, and I didn’t need to.
I booked my flights, packed my suitcase… and let it all unfold.

Journeys

Small groups, one wild place at a time, so everyone gets the wild, and each other, up close.

Ancient Rhythm

Gorilla Trekking & Rainforest Expedition

Becoming

A Safari Retreat in the Wild

Safari into the wild soul of Southern Africa and return braver, clearer, and more alive. Start with the excitement of safaris in Botswana’s big cat and elephant country, then wrap up with unhurried days at South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind, where it all sinks in.

Your guide

Meet Dr. Weili

I’m a physician, a wife, a mom of three, and a certified rescue diver. For the last four years, I’ve been living the question “What does it mean to be fully alive?” in the wild places of the world: on foot in the rainforest, diving with manta rays and sharks, trekking in the mountains, and camping in the bush.

You do the brave part. I’ll be right beside you.

In their words

The trip you imagined for us in Africa was pure magic and will forever be one of my life’s highlights.

The safety I felt in the bush was like no other place in the world. Thank you for allowing me to share my story amongst a group of powerhouse women. You truly created a magnificent experience!
