Our mission:
To facilitate one’s connection to the natural environment, each other and a deeper connection to one's self.

We have been running a broad range of holistic experiential educational programs in backcountry mountain environments, as well as workshops, in the U.S. and abroad, since 1998.

Participants on MSI programs have a greater appreciation and understanding of their own resources, of other individuals around them, as well as a better sense of their place in the natural world.
Self reliance, compassion, service, centeredness, physical fitness and interpersonal community-building, as well as caring for, and understanding of the natural environment, are all hallmarks of our mission.
Outcomes - An increased sense of joy and peace.

MSI is committed to raising public awareness of environmental issues that directly affect our lives, such as global climate change, peak oil and sustainable living.
