Where is this Adventure?

Details

St. Lucia

Helen of the West Indies

St. Lucia (Loo-sha) remains relatively unspoiled, a checkerboard of green-mantled mountains, valleys, wild orchids, and fishing villages. The island has a mixed French and British heritage, but there's a hint of the South Pacific about it as well. Music reverberates throughout St. Lucia, and the savory smells of a rich cuisine waft through Marigot Bay and Soufrière. A favorite stopoff for island-hoppers, yachties and jetsetters, St. Lucia offers volcanic rock beaches, lush fruity landscapes, and a lively nightlife of limbo, jazz, and rum punch. On February 22, 1979, St. Lucia became an independent state within the British Commonwealth of Nations, with a resident governor-general appointed by the queen. Still, the island appears to have retained more relics of French influence—notably the island patois, cuisine, village names, and surnames—than of the British. Most likely, that's because the British contribution primarily involved the English language, the educational and legal systems, and the political structure, whereas the French culture historically had more influence on the arts—culinary, dance, and music.

The BodyHoliday Resort*

BodyHoliday is one of the World’s best spas, that also turns out to be one of the world’s most pleasurable holidays. It has been a pioneering concept in the hospitality industry since it first opened in 1988 and continues to win major industry awards. It’s become well known for its unique approach to well-being and BodyHoliday continues to deliver on its promise; ‘Give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind”.

The resort provides a great beach holiday, supported by luxurious rooms and delicious cuisine, but it is far more than that; it is also designed to be the most relaxing and rejuvenating wellness holiday in the world.

*Previously advertised as the Royalton Resort St Lucia.  Armstrong Ventures changed over resort locations to better accommodate guests by providing higher quality nutritional options, more fitness related activities, and to provide a higher value experience for guests of this retreat.

Exploration
Exploration

Throughout this vacation, we have strategically designed excursions to challenge your personal spirit and solidify what was learned through the courses by captivating a memorable emotion. These adventures test your fears and physical endurance to allow your soul to experience new sensations and emotions that are guaranteed to unlock your success code. 

​

All of these excursions are included in the price!

ziplining.jpg
Zip Lining

St Lucia is home to some of the worlds most incredible zip-lining experiences. Beautiful tropical rainforests and mountains make for an incredibly attractive way to explore.  Get hitched up to a series of cables and zip from platform to platform in the tree canopy and swing like Tarzan or Jane. Once again, we work exclusively with professionals to ensure safety throughout this adventure!

​

Zip lining will give us a metaphor for trust.  In zip lining, its incredibly important to trust equipment and trust the system.  Much like in life, we have a plan and we must trust that we are guided in our journey and we must surrender at times and trust the process.

​

Hiking the Piton Mountains

The Piton Mountains are two iconic volcanic mountains that stand over 2,619 feet above sea level.  The trail lasts 5-6 hours and is physically demanding.  We recommend coming on this trip in physical shape.  The trail will have an experienced guide to ensure the utmost safety.

​

This is excursion is carefully designed to reinforce the concepts of accountability and perseverance.  In life and business, we often struggle with follow-through and commitment. This will symbolize the commitment we must make to attract high levels of success!

​

cliff diving.jpg
Cliff Diving

Yes, we said it.  The fear of heights is the 3rd most common fear in the world.  So, there’s a good chance you’re afraid to.  And, that’s the point!  We will safely organize a beginner level cliff jump into the beautifully blue St Lucia waters.  Don’t worry, we are serious about our safety and want to make everything a safe and fun experience!

​

This experience is the culminating event for the week.  Jumping dozens of feet off a cliff into water symbolizes breaking through fear and taking a leap of faith!  The adrenaline and fear that sinks in as your toes peep to the edge of the cliff is the same adrenaline and fear that stops us from progressing in our day to day lives. If you can find the courage to complete challenge, you will emerge from any fears or adversity you find in your lives.

​

Empowerment
Empowerment
Community, Power, and Trust

We believe community and teamwork are one part of the recipe to success.  Our intimate sized venue will allow us to uplift each other, call each other out, keep each other accountable, or encourage one another to find the true power within themselves. We have a team of experienced coaches and mentors to provide valuable insight into your own internal roadblocks.

​

The courses and ventures are carefully designed to reveal your full potential and give you the framework to create your ultimate destiny.  You will emerge from this adventure with a whole new mastery of personal accomplishment and be fully prepared to conquer unlimited challenges!

Crowd Surfing
Evolve
Evolve...
"Shedding one's skin. The snake that cannot shed its skin perishes. So do the spirits who are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be spirit."

It is important that the old behaviors that limit us or prevent us from growing be cast away.  We will carefully analyze which limiting beliefs have prevented growth in the past and generate a new version of you that is in alignment with your highest purpose!

 

We encourage you to make the decision and step out your current self.  Join us for an incredible journey to discover who you truly are and who you’re truly capable of becoming.
