After attending Adventure 1 must I come back for the very next Adventure 2, or can I wait until an Adventure 2 is offered in some subsequent month?

We have found that our Adventure 1 graduates are excited to continue their Road experience and go to great lengths to continue to the next Adventure 2 with their class. The Road Adventure staff highly recommends that you continue with the sequential Adventure. However, if absolutely necessary, you can continue the journey at a later date.

Is The Road Adventure similar to other competitive programs?

Yes and no - What stands us apart from other seminars is that we teach the concepts in the seminars to touch all learning styles. The Road Adventure is presented in such a way that each style of learning is able to relate to the material. We present each concept in lecture form (auditory learner),

"The Road gave me awareness about life and the tools to do life. The Road helped give me my life back."

Nick Santos


in visual form (visual learner) combined with an exercise to practice what the participant has learned (hands-on learner). In doing this, the participant walks away with more than a textbook knowledge of the material; they have an intellectual, physical knowledge as well as emotional healing. Many of the other seminars are motivational in their delivery. At The Road Adventure you will gain life tools that will allow you to take what you have learned back into your life and implement those tools in every area of your life.

My friends are so excited about attending and they want me to attend but they won't tell me what it is about; why?

The graduates of The Road Adventure want you to have the best experience possible and don't want to spoil it for you. It would be like telling you the ending to a great movie before you saw it. So much of the learning comes from the experiences you have when you do the different exercises and drills, so telling you what the exercises are deprives you of the spontaneity and learning. Everyone is encouraged to talk about what they personally experienced and what they learned through The Road but to keep the exact nature of the exercises to themselves. We do ask participants not to share what another person experiences so that it creates a safe place for everyone to do or say what they need or want to.

How many people are in each class?

Adventure I is limited to 75 participants Adventure II is limited to 75 participants. Adventure III is limited to 35 participants. Renewing the Mind is limited to 75 participants. The Restoration is limited to 35 participants. Teen Road Adventure is limited to 30 participants.
