The gathering is five years in the making and is being dubbed, “An off-grid experience in a connected world.”

At Ice Age Meals, we cook high-quality, frozen portions for the masses, but there’s much more to it! We promote a lifestyle that includes eating well, exercise, contagious positivity, getting outdoors at every opportunity and disconnecting from technology in potent doses. Throw in a sauna, a cold plunge, deep sleep, prayer and relationship and you’re picking up what we’re putting down!

The IAM Island Adventure is our attempt to bring all of these concepts together in one place while spending time with friends in an off-grid setting. We spent the week working out, working hard, discussing mental strategies for combating the difficulties of the age, eating tons of high-quality meats, fruits and vegetables, and even playing a round of golf! As you might know, at Ice Age Meals, we have a partnership program that we call the IAMFAM. Part of our partnership requires others to be active on social media and thus, connected to their phones.

Our gathering this week is the yin to that yang. Furthermore, most of our partners live outside of the Reno area and we’ve never actually met them in person. So, we came together to disconnect from technology and connect with each other. Our goal is to lift one another up so high, that when we leave, we can’t help but reach down and lift others up.

Cool, right? It’s an “...out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” kind of thing. (John 7:38) It’s hard to flow into the lives of others when you’re all dried up yourself. You know what I’m saying?

With all things that have never happened before, a tremendous amount of VISION is required. I’ve shared this concept with many people and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to make it a reality.
