Beyond Horizons is a collaboration: the brainchild of Greg Garrison who, after experiencing unimaginable loss, reached out to psychologist Brie Moore of the Courage Project to see how they might help others in the Tahoe/Truckee community process grief by bringing people together while participating in outdoor activities.

Under the direction of professional outdoor and mental health guides, outdoor adventures become safe and supportive spaces for participants to find solace and gain new perspectives along their journeys through loss, cultivating community as we work together to support and heal one another.

Beyond Horizons provides low- to no-cost guided outdoor experiences for adults struggling with loss and saw its first cohorts in summer 2025. It continues this winter on snow in partnership with Alpenglow Expeditions, leveraging the physical and mental challenge of ski/snowboard touring alongside evidence-based programming designed to help participants cope with and process grief. As it continues to grow, we hope you will join us in supporting this invaluable and unique community resource.

"In the skin track, I could breathe, process and reflect. In the flow of the mountain bike trail I could find clarity and emotional release. Low-cost access to Beyond Horizons' immersive program can bring these benefits to many more people coping with grief and in need of support." -Greg Garrison
