Training for Presence. Practicing What Matters.
Each program day is designed to be intentional, embodied, and transformative, rooted in structure, rhythm, and practices that support real, lifelong change. Below is an example of what a full program day might look like.
Morning
Daily Practice
We begin each day with a grounding morning practice — meditation, breathwork, and journaling — to cultivate presence, clarity, and connection to self. This becomes the foundation of a lifelong habit of inner alignment.
Movement & Strength
After morning stillness, we move — through yoga, strength training, or outdoor walks. This is about building a relationship with the body rooted in care, power, and vitality.
Community Breakfast
We cook together, eat together, and clean together — sharing the practical rhythms that support communal life and gratitude.
Morning Session
After breakfast, we dive into focused work:
- Group discussions
- Skill-building sessions
- Readings, reflection, or creative process
- Deepening into the weekly theme
Afternoon
Lunch
A nourishing, relaxed meal — often followed by a bit of personal integration time.
Afternoon Activity
Each afternoon holds a different experience, depending on the day:
- Nature outings or local field trips
- Service projects or community volunteering
- Garden work or home improvement
- Creative projects or embodied practices
These activities anchor learning in the real world and strengthen the muscles of care, contribution, and presence.
Evening
Dinner
A shared meal and time to wind down together.
Evening Program
Evenings are spacious and creative. Each one is different — but always meaningful:
- Participant presentations
- Guest speakers
- Poetry nights
- Game nights
- Storytelling circles
- Deep listening and reflection
Night Practice & Sleep
We end the day with a simple evening practice — reflection, breath, journaling, or silence — followed by quiet hours and deep rest. Sleep is sacred. It restores what the day awakened.
Weekly Rhythm
Rhythm. Discipline. Discovery.
At Find Your Path, time itself becomes part of the training. Each week is structured to create rhythm, build foundational habits, and expand the capacity for presence, flexibility, and meaningful living
.
Foundations First
In the first few weeks, our schedule will be more structured and consistent. Participants will experience repeated days with familiar rhythms, allowing them to:
- Build self-trust through steady practice
- Anchor new habits in body and mind
- Develop a sense of internal rhythm and shared culture
We’ll start together, guided by mentors — and over time, participants will begin leading one another.
A Rhythmic Week
As the program matures, the schedule becomes more dynamic. Our rhythm will typically alternate:
- Program Days (structured days with group sessions and guided practices)
- Integration Days (space for reflection, creativity, rest, and peer-led activity)
Residential participants (and day students who choose to be present) are encouraged to treat every day as part of the program. Even on integration days, there are shared meals, personal practices, household contributions, and informal opportunities for connection and growth.
Living as Practice
The deeper invitation is to make every day a program day — to live with awareness, devotion, and care. Participants are supported and encouraged to begin leading one another in morning practices, movement, meals, and creative offerings as the program unfolds. Mentors will remain present, but responsibility shifts intentionally toward the group
.
Thematic Weeks
Each week is guided by a core theme — introduced through myths, poems, and stories that help us enter the unknown with wisdom and imagination.
Training for the unkNOWn — Weekly Themes May Include:
- Presence
- Relationship to Self
- Courage
- Listening to Intuition
- Resilience
- Curiosity
- Acceptance
These themes will be explored through daily practices, group circles, readings, creative work, nature, and conversation — woven into the fabric of the week, not separated from it.
Living Arrangements
Intentional Living. Supportive Space. Shared Growth.
Participants live together in a beautiful, values-aligned home in Portland, Oregon — a welcoming space designed to support personal growth, rest, creativity, and community.
This is more than housing. It’s where much of the program takes place — where we cook, reflect, connect, and challenge ourselves to live with intention and care.
Private Suite-Style Rooms
Each participant shares a room with one roommate. Every room includes:
A private bathroom with shower
A full or mini kitchen
Closet space and storage
A quiet place for rest, reflection, and grounding
Shared Community Spaces
Participants also share access to:
- A fully equipped kitchen for group meals
- Comfortable living room and lounge areas
- A dedicated community room for group work, practice, and movement
- An art room for creativity and expression
- Laundry facilities
- A beautiful yard, garden, and outdoor gathering space
- Panoramic views of Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, and the Cascade Range
This is where the majority of the program’s group work and shared experiences take place — in a home full of light, presence, and possibility.
Community Expectations
We treat the house as a living classroom.
Participants will:
Contribute to cleaning, maintenance, and care of the space
Participate in household roles (kitchen, garden, common areas)
Show up with kindness, intention, and presence in how they live with others
Living in this space is part of the training — a daily opportunity to grow in responsibility, self-awareness, and service to something greater than yourself.
We don’t just share shopping, meals, and cooking– we share presence. The kitchen becomes a classroom, the table a circle of belonging.

Food & Meals
Nourishment as a Practice of Love, Presence, and Training
Food is a central part of life at Find Your Path. We believe nourishment is more than fuel — it’s a practice of love, sustainability, presence, and intentional community.

- Shared community dinners 4 days a week (with leftovers whenever possible)
- Cooking mentorship and support for food prep
- Training in meal planning, nutrition, and group coordination
- Opportunities to share cultural and personal food traditions

- Bringing creativity, joy, and mindfulness into the kitchen
Why It Matters:
We eat together to:
- Connect, reflect, and build relationship
- Practice gratitude and presence at the table

- Show consideration and care for everyone’s needs around food
Food is not just a part of the program — it’s one of our most joyful daily practices, and a powerful space for learning how to care for yourself and others.

Program FAQ
What people really want to know.
What’s a typical day like?
Each day starts with personal practice (meditation, breath, journaling), movement, and a shared meal. From there, we explore group work, hands-on projects, and deep conversation. Evenings are for connection — from poetry to storytelling to reflection. No two days are exactly alike, but all are intentional, grounded, and full of life.
Do I have to live in the house?
No. We offer two paths:
Residential Participants live in the home and participate fully.
Day Students commute in for all program sessions and meals on structured days. Both groups are integrated into the full program experience.
What if I’m introverted? Or nervous?
Great. That means you care. You don’t need to be loud or extroverted — you just need to be willing to show up, share honestly, and grow. We honor all types of people and support you in showing up as your full, real self.
Will I have time alone?
Yes. We value both community and solitude. You’ll have quiet space in your room, personal time on integration days, and structured quiet hours to help recharge and reflect.
What’s the vibe of the house?
Think cozy, alive, and intentional. Music, cooking, deep conversations, quiet mornings, spontaneous laughter, and views of Mount Hood. We care deeply — about the space, each other, and the world we’re creating.
