THE PERSON FIRST: 3-MONTH JOURNEY

OUR MISSION

Built on the science of better health, The Person First empowers youth and young adults to build physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual strength—to live with greater purpose and impact.

Rooted in Dr. Jim Loehr’s Human Performance Science and enriched by the mythic and artistic traditions of storytelling, music, and community, The Person First equips the next generation to manage energy, make wise decisions, and discover the power of living from the inside out.

THE EXPERIENCE

Three Days in Alpine. A powerful in-person kickoff launches each participant’s personal journey. Through movement, reflection, and mythic storytelling, they explore the Four Pillars of Health—Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual.

Twelve Weeks of 1-on-1 Coaching. Weekly personalized sessions integrate science and story—building habits of purpose, resilience, and integrity.

The Closing Retreat. Three months later, participants return for re-assessment, celebration, and community renewal.

Throughout, participants experience Dr. Loehr’s performance principles in rhythm: exertion and recovery, discipline and reflection, strength and story.

WHY IT MATTERS

Young people today are navigating unprecedented stress, isolation, and uncertainty. The Person First provides the science, structure, and soul they need to thrive—teaching them not just how to perform, but how to live well.

This is not a quick fix; it’s a launch pad for life. Graduates leave with measurable growth, purpose, energy management skills, and lifelong community.
