FEEL MORE ALIVE

Lucas here, Unplugged co-captain. I grew up in a community nestled in nature not but five houses from my childhood best friend— Marsh.

Athletic pursuits led us astray until after college, in 2016, when a camping trip re-ignited our dynamic homie-ship. We sipped cowboy coffee in the mountains and reconnected explosively over shared interests in public health, connection to wild spaces, and the bicycle. We didn’t know it at the time but the seeds for Unplugged had just been planted.

Ten years later the seeds have since germinated and continue to blossom in ways we never expected. We host dance parties, four-square tourneys, 100-mile desert bike missions, wellness adventures, corporate team building events, mindfulness workshops, community potlucks, games of capture the flag, singing nights and— what we’re most proud of— we hold space for community right here in our home of Salt Lake City, UT.

Our methodology is simple, obvious, and draws upon a blend of neuroscience, my Master’s degree in Education, stoicism, coaching best-practices, play, mindfulness and the primordial wisdom that lives within us all.

Unplugged is about time well-spent, movement in nature, connection, slowing down, growth, community, and perhaps most important… FUN. I’m proud to say it’s in alignment with my Ikigai.

I hope to continue to help other seekers, curious souls, and connection connoisseurs continue to explore their growth edge, stand into their truest essence, and pursue their passions on their journey to feeling more alive.

In the face of AI, hyper-speed dopamine culture, and a growing oligarchy, we stand firmly in the camp of human and know that our work is more important now than ever before.

We’re here if you ever need. Hit us up. Or join our growing community at tripsunplugged.substack.com. As always, play on players.

MORE FUN, MORE CONNECTION

But I was open and prepared to experience discomfort around acceptance and fitting in.
Now I feel capable, strong, grounded, loved, seen, held, supported, and valued. The adventure brought me back to an inner knowing that I am enough as I am; that my tribe can be attracted with ease; and that playfulness is never far away.” — Maria, Unplugged Adventure, MT, 2024

.. the deep end of existence. Out of my comfort zone but in my element, surrounded by a dream-team of superstars. I never know what I’ll get- physically, socially, emotionally, spiritually- but I know I’ll grow and be supported along the way.” - Ian, Unplugged Adventure, UT, 2023

TESTIMONIALS

Most Unplugged experiences involve the bike because it’s a beautiful tool for connection & aliveness. Our main recipe, however, is more basic:

Move your body away from screens in nature with others.

Beyond our basic desire for survival is a deep yearning to belong to something bigger than ourselves. When we sense our place this greater picture, we feel more alive. Screens do the opposite. Our multi-day camp-outs strip away the BS of the plugged-in world and put you face to face with the fresh reality of right here, right now. Rooted in primitive wisdom, our recipe is stunningly simple and highly-effective. Designed for group sizes of 8 - 30, our primary wellness modalities are:
