D&T Rise: Men in Recovery (Divorce)
2020-02-22 - 2020-02-24 | Jumbo Rocks Campground, XWRQ+Q2, Twentynine Palms, CA, United States
a rock-climbing adventure for men affected by divorce

As men, we internalize our families. Our wives and children are taken as extensions of ourselves. Caretakers, providers, guardians- these are the roles that give our short and brutal lives meaning.
And then one day, it’s all gone.
Some of us are lucky. Our splits are amicable- just mature people doing the right thing in acknowledging that marriage is no longer the best way of defining the relationship. We move on with our former spouse, in a solidarity that honors the value of what was, but will no longer be.
That’s not my story. And I’m hardly alone.
Horrific stories of unconscionable allegations, extortionate lawyers, heartbreak, and betrayal coupled with financial, emotional, and spiritual devastation are too often the case. We are challenged to grieve not only the loss of connection with our partner, but we are further leveled by separation from our children, the loss of financial discretion, and the devastating realization that everything we imagined to have value, including our dreams, has been replaced by a vortex of despair.
Brothers: this too shall pass. And in the process we will learn how wrong we were in our assumptions about marriage and family.
Join us for three days in Joshua Tree National Park where we will be joined by a mindfulness coach and rock climbing facilitators who will help to move us back into our hearts and bodies.
Any and all men affected by divorce are invited. Whether you are considering divorce, in the process of divorce, or even remarried after a divorce, you are welcome.
This trip requires that you provide your own food, clothing, and sleep kit. As part of the Dust and Tribe experience, you will be coached and mentored through these logistics. Rental options through non-contracted vendors are available.
We’re keeping this intimate with room for only 8 participants. All creeds are welcome.

D&T Grind: Wintersun
2020-01-16 - 2020-01-18 | Death Valley National Park, Stovepipe Wells, CA, 92328, United States
a coed desert backcountry adventure

Adult men and women are invited to join us for a 30-mile backcountry loop through one of the most forbidding and awe-inspiring landscapes on earth.
Death Valley is the largest national park in the lower 48. It hosts over a million people from around the world every year. Estimates are that only 300 of those people will hike this loop.
Death Valley is a backpacking frontier. It is a shuddering vastness that only the reckless would tempt. But that stark and unforgiving reputation belies an almost indescribable beauty.
If you know where the water is.
Our shuttles will take you to the trailhead at Cottonwood Canyon. From there we venture into the bush, tracing a course that follows seasonal springs across open washes, exposed ridges, and narrow passages through the living rock. We will spend our nights under the waning crescent moon and fall asleep beneath an endless canopy of stars.
After two nights in the backcountry, we will complete our loop, emerging on our third day from Marble Canyon and out to our waiting shuttles, God willing.
This trip requires that you provide your own food, water, backpack, clothing, and sleep kit. As part of the Dust and Tribe experience, you will be coached and mentored through these logistics. Rental options through non-contracted vendors are available.
This event is fully booked.

D&T VI: Keeping It Reel
2019-10-10 - 2019-10-13 | June Lake, June Lake, CA, 93529, United States
a fly fishing adventure for men

Join us for up to three nights of camping along June Lake as we learn to fly fish for High Sierra trout.
We’ve partnered with local guides to provide us with a day of instruction and a handful of tips about where to go and what time to get there to beat the weekenders and nab us some fish. Cutthroats, rainbows, and big mountain browns lurk in the pristine subalpine waters just waiting for that perfect presentation. We’ll learn what it takes to land these frisky freshwater fighters!
Thursday, October 10th is our gathering day. Make it to camp by nightfall and we’ll share a meal.
We have our day of fly fishing instruction booked with multiple guides on Friday, October the 11th. On Saturday the 12th, we split into tactical groups to practice what we’ve learned.
Your individual schedules permitting, we break camp anytime between Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
This trip is open to adult men only (18 and over, unless a previous participant of D&T Rites). All creeds are welcome.
Registration for this event is now closed.

D&T Benevent: Moonquest and Skywalk
2019-08-01 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Del Cerro Park, 2 Park Pl., Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, 90275, United States
Join me and the wonderful crew from Ramadan Ready as we search the sky for the new moon of Dhu’l-Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic lunar year!

There is a fantastic celestial dance between the earth and moon so tightly choreographed that entire calendars can be built in anticipation of their movements. We’ll gather together to search for the new moon from a gorgeous coastal overlook in Ranchos Palos Verdes. Bring food to allow for a sunset picnic and, conditions permitting, we’ll spend some time reviewing the more recognizable summer constellations, insha Allah.
A moon-themed craft, cookies, and cocoa will be provided by Ramadan Ready. All proceeds from this event will go toward supporting their work in promoting Islamic cultural representation in our public libraries.
This event is closed to registration.

D&T Kin: Trial by Water
2019-07-14 15:00 - 2019-07-16 15:00 | Oars American River Outpost, 7330 River Park Drive, Lotus, CA, 95961, United States
our inaugural family adventure
We’re going rafting!

Dust and Tribe, in collaboration with OARS, brings you two days and 21 miles of whitewater fun along the South Fork of the American River! Steeped in Gold Rush history, the American River is lined with oak and pine forests that tumble through the Sierra Nevada foothills, creating rolling valleys and gorges which mirror the flows and rolling rapids of this classic California river.
This will be our first ever family adventure, open to ages 8 and up.
On Sunday, July 14th, we’ll gather for a night under the stars at the OARS American River Outpost, about an hour outside of Sacramento, where we’ll enjoy:

Beach access for swimming in the river
Both individual and group campsites
Full men’s and women’s bathrooms with hot showers and flush toilets
Riverside camping (on a limited basis)
Games, including horseshoes, volleyball, and a life-size chess board
Easy walking distance to local cafes
Nature trails
Free WiFi

On the morning of Monday, July 15th we’ll put into the river for five hours of whitewater fun, breaking for lunch and setting up camp for a second night along the river’s edge.
On the morning of Tuesday, July 16th we’ll take a shuttle to our next put-in for another three hours of roiling, wet madness before ending the day back at the OARS Outpost.
We’ve negotiated a fantastic rate and dates that will allow for a private launch just for our group with scheduled prayer breaks. We’ll be responsible for bringing our own halal food and camping gear (rental options are available).
This adventure is closed to registration. You may add your name to the waiting list by sending us an email or a note via our contact page.

D&T Benevent: Tidepooling
2019-06-29 11:00 - 14:00 | Crystal Cove State Park, 8471 N. Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA, 92651, United States
Join me and Ustadha Shereen Sabet of Splashgear as we explore the tide pools of Crystal Cove State Park!
Sun, wind, and the relentless churning of caustic salt water challenge the many inhabitants of these wonderful pools. We’ll gather together to learn about life in the intertidal zone and all of the special adaptations that living things must make to live under such extreme pressures.
In the interest of keeping things safe and fun, we are limiting the total number of participants to 20 16 13. Due to extremely slippery surfaces, many sharp rocks, and the unpredictable nature of waves, it is suggested that children in attendance be no less than seven years of age.
Bring some food and we’ll picnic afterward!
This event is being organized as a fundraiser for The Majlis.
