Yesterday my partner Maribeth and I were flying home from a great Thanksgiving week in North Carolina and Georgia with my family.  We were on the second leg of our journey from Dallas to Albuquerque.  As we got near to Albuquerque and the plane started descending, I heard the sound of the landing gear coming out.  About 30 seconds later, I heard it again.  A couple minutes later, I heard it again.  I got the funny feeling that something wasn't right.  Then the plane started going up and away from the airport.  A few minutes later, the pilot came on and said that there was a potential issue with the landing gear, and they expected it to be fixed in a few minutes.  We flew away from the airport for several minutes.  Then we started circling back.  The pilot came back on and said that she wasn't sure if the landing gear was down and locked.  She thought it was, but she wasn't sure.  So they prepared us for a crash landing.

The Adventure Matrix is For You 

The Adventure Matrix is for people who are hungry to live adventurously. Adventure is daring to take risks for something really exciting to you. It’s about stepping into the unknown, into risks and possibilities, for the purpose of doing and being what makes you feel fully alive. It’s about getting really clear about what’s calling your name, and answering.

The Adventure Matrix provides tools for living adventurously, and itself is an adventure -- to see what happens when together we create a community to support adventurous living.  Some of the tools are already developed -- one-on-one coaching and wilderness adventure workshops.  Some are in the making -- a retreat, a community conversation, free resources, a book, a blog.  Some haven't even been dreamed up yet, and I hope that you will help me dream them up and make them happen. So I ask you this question:  if you long to live adventurously, to be able to actually be and do what you long for, what tools would help you do that?  I would love to hear your ideas. I would love to create the tools with you.  Help me create this community -- it belongs to all of us.

Why The Adventure Matrix 

We live in a society that values planning the future, controlling it as much as possible, and minimizing risks. I think that we miss out on some really important stuff for ourselves when we live this way to the exclusion of adventure. Our bodies and souls long for adventure, are built for adventure--for experiences of spiritual and physical wildness. The Adventure Matrix is for people who are hungry for the adventure, for the wildness. For people who want to step into the truth about adventure and life – that life is inherently risky, and therefore offers the possiblity of being lived as the adventure it is. For people who want to live on the edge between the known and unknown, and maybe walk fully into the unknown. People who feel that they don’t fit in the paradigm that society hands them, and want to design their own. People who want to design their own paradigm for every facet of their life – relationships, money, time, work, place, spirituality.

It takes a lot of courage, chutzpah and willingness to learn and do things differently to design and live in your own paradigm. It is an adventure in the fullest sense of the word. I have been doing this with my own life in one form or another through my whole life. On my own journey, I have often wished for support and community. It can feel lonely, to try to do something really different with your life. There are plenty of structures, communities for you if your adventure fits neatly into something that already exists, like hang glider pilots or buddists. But I haven’t found a community that exists for adventure mavericks, for people who want to dare to create a really unique paradigm to live by that may not make sense to anyone else. So that’s what the Adventure Matrix is for – to be a community for this purpose. This community isn’t for one specific kind of adventure, it’s for the concept of living adventurously, for embracing adventure as a paradigm of living and living as an inherently adventurous experience.
