NO BARRIERS USA

The 7 No Barriers Life Elements form the basis of No Barriers’ experiences and curriculum across all programs. From a lifetime of facing and overcoming challenges, Erik Weihenmayer developed these concepts as the culmination of experiences, mindset and action that allows us to harness adversity, break through barriers and create a life of purpose and impact. The framework teaches you step-by-step how to break through your own challenges and live a driven, purposeful life.

Warrior Expeditions are adventure based trips, where we bring Veterans to us, to take a deep dive into the No Barriers Life. We challenge them to overcome some serious obstacles in the wilderness.
