Portland is our new Favorite Place!

Welcome to everyone.

As we move on from the previous juncture in the road that has brought us here, There are major developments occurring in the itinerary and future direction of the Expedition. After departing from Winter count and the Arizona sun, Phoxx has headed north for the time being to settle into the creative process of getting his bearings and meeting with the team that will be the core of the expedition. With this we've found new opportunities for growth and the changes that have happened already have been as promising as the original horizon we set out on. Internet meet and greets are fun and exciting!

The need for Phoxx to head north to Portland, Oregon was to meet with the crew that that will be venturing out with Phoxx for a time to capture the footage that will provide us with the incredible opportunity to create a feature length documentary about the expedition project! Indeed, Phoxx will be working closely with Photographer Sean O'Connor of Free-solo Photography to capture the journey on film. We've also met with the many others that have taken on their roles within the community and development of the expedition and documentary. Please remember that any role you have played and any association that you have with the project or those involved makes you a part of the team. Each of you thus far have helped significantly in helping us gain exposure and your interest in the project is in itself an amazing support to everyone involved.


For now, Phoxx has been busy learning exactly what it will take to make all this happen and after meeting with Sean in his office outside of Portland, we've been able to finalize many of the logistics that previously had been much more “up in the air”. We are still in the process of seeking out sponsors and supporters that can help us meet the financial needs of the Full Circle Kayak Expedition. We invite you to get involved however you can and join us in this opportunity. We look Forward It!

Back from Winter count

Greetings to all of our friends, supporters and peers!

As we mark the passing of the Winter count gathering, Phoxx is headed onward after a successful and enriching experience. For many, the trip each year each year is found to be exceedingly profound. It's a chance to recalibrate and touch base with what some consider to be a way of living. Winter count  is certainly a place that provides extensive opportunities for participants to feed their interest in the skills they seek out.

  Phoxx was successful in his endeavors to share his philosophy and build community surrounding the project. Phoxx set out with specific goals of finding persons that would be willing to “sponsor” him through mentoring him in the skills that he will utilizing on the voyage. This was accomplished in conjunction with adding invaluable contributors to the team of people that help create the Full Circle Kayak Expedition. Phoxx has established his list of instructors and looks forward to making the journey to immerse himself in the skills that each of them practice. The purpose of this, whilst also being practical, is to cultivate the story  and evolution of the journey, to reinforce the message of the movement and that of the project and to prepare Phoxx for the expedition. Below is a list of the skills that Phoxx will be studying.

Brain/Bark-Tanning
Felting
Bone and Stone-working
Wild Edibles

So with the passing of the gathering we are on to new endeavors. Phoxx is indelibly closer to the success of the project and with that momentum, we are developing at full steam. We're proud to have you on-board and hope you'll follow us and share your support.
