Vas is a WFA-certified guide who has spent the past 6 years in Kenya as an entrepreneur, amateur climber, and free diver. Before developing her "Fear Literacy" framework, she built and scaled her own startup from scratch to acquisition—raising >$2M, growing teams to >150, and navigating the full founder journey from high growth to burnout. Her experience ranges from Wall Street Investment Banking to Nairobi’s startup ecosystem, giving her a lived understanding of the difficulties of rooting out fear from decision making to act on intuition and carve out a unique path. Drawing from years of lived experimentation and observation, she now focuses on researching fear and refining her method to help professionals recalibrate their relationship to fear through "Evolutionary Play", which uses nature-immersive adrenaline sports to master flow states.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Change your inputs. Change your story.
Each day blends adventure, reflection, 1:1 strategy, and group dialogue — the same tools entrepreneurs use to find clarity and perspective in chaos. Our pillars are:
Habitual Unfixing
The practice of stripping away the scripts and hierarchies of daily life to bypass our protective mechanisms and acheive a neurological reset.

Cultural Connection
Serving others and volunteering across cultures deepens empathy, and teaches true leadership — which begins with listening.

Fear Literacy
By never facing primal fear we were biologically designed for, we substitute it with low-grade, chronic stress that hyper-sensitizes our nervous system.

Evolutionary Play
By engaging in select activities that include fear exposure, we can prune our brain’s fear circuits and build courage to apply throughout our lives.

REAL IMPACT
Your trip tuition sponsors a Kenyan orphan to attend college - and you'll meet them on the trip. You’ll have fun and make a tangible difference in an underserved student's life.
