Alaska Wilderness School & Retreat

by: Secluded Vacations



This video was shot during our first visit to the property we intend to acquire for the Alaska Hawaii Mystery School & Retreat. The realtor gave us access to the place to look around and check it out. I have been using this footage as a tool for visualizing the manifestation of the purchase of the land and buildings. The music is by Douglas Woods and is titled "Deep Woods Deep Water".

Adventure • Stewardship • Production... these are the basic elements of this unique wilderness school and spiritual retreat. For more than twenty years I have been exploring Alaska searching for the ideal place to live, work and play deep within a wilderness environment yet that is close enough to civilization that others may enjoy it too. Many suitable places were discovered but the land portrayed in this video is the "best of both worlds" with civilization out the front door and wilderness out the back. This mystery school and holistic retreat is a center for education and ecology that we are using to create a model of sustainable living for the 21st century. Practical and esoteric arts are studied, experienced and shared here for personal and community growth. Gardening, landscaping, arts, crafts and many other electives are lived and taught on a daily basis. There is also an on-site saw mill to process lumber for our Forestry and Wood Harvesting program. Staff, students and visitors may also learn basic and advanced wilderness survival and travel, orienteering, kayaking, hiking, mountain climbing, healing arts, martial arts and multi-media production. Meditation, massage, gourmet food and various forms of professional counseling are also part of this dynamic school and retreat. The curriculum is real life and the process of learning is 90% experiential and 10% academic. Other activities and skills offered include archery, composting, recycling and how to manufacture useful products from waste materials and available resources.

The property has been used for commercial-industrial purposes for more than 30 years and we intend to beautify it, restore it and have it serve as a base for people to learn about reclamation and stewardship. Presently it is "a diamond in the rough". The purchase-price of this extraordinary place is $850,000 for 2.8 acres in one of the most incredible locations in Alaska. The parcel is bordered on two sides by California Creek which is a glacier stream flowing close to its source out of the Chugach Mountains. The center of the town of Girdwood, or "Glacier City" as it is known by locals, is less than one block away to the East. One block to the West is a gateway to more than 10,000 acres of pristine wilderness: mountain rainforest, glacier streams and wildlife. Across the street is the rustic, world-famous fine-dining restaurant, the Double Musky.

"How much money have you raised?" people ask. "How are you going to pay for it?" The answer is simply, "The Secret." The Law of Attraction and other methods of creation are now finding their way into the minds and hearts of the masses. More important than land or wilderness schools and spiritual retreats is the awareness and ability of applying such phenomenon as "The Secret", the ability to create anything imaginable. I learned this many years ago and have been applying it regularly. Now the basic principles of creation have reached the mainstream and this School and Retreat is a place to learn and apply these principles- in a way that is beneficial to people and nature.

Starting with no money whatsoever, myself and others are focusing our minds and engaging our passionate hearts to create a way of life that is sustainable. We are sharing the process: the challenges and rewards via multi-media: stories, music, photos and video particularly DVD and the worldwide web.

The purpose of this video and the School & Retreat is represents are intended to promote and support tribal community- employing the best of indigenous wisdom and the best of modern technology to learn, experience and teach sustainable living. (more)
