Somewhere along the way, even the most accomplished lives can drift from presence.
About Passages of 125°West
Passages of 125°West began with a move—from the noise of the city to the quiet of the coast. What shifted on the outside stirred something within. In the stillness, breath returned. Space opened. And over time, a new way of seeing took root—a belief in the quiet, the natural, and the deeply connected human.
What began as walks with friends became something more—carefully held passages shaped by presence, trust, and the beauty of what unfolds when nothing is pushed. It isn’t a blueprint or a method. It’s an invitation.
Our Why
We believe that in a world addicted to speed, achievement, and distractions, there is urgent wisdom in the quiet.
We believe that reconnection with self and nature isn’t a luxury—it’s a return to what we’ve forgotten.
We believe that clarity doesn’t come from doing more, but from deeply knowing who we are.
Our Vision
A world awakened, one quiet return at a time.
Each inner passage, rippling outward.
Our Mission
To create space.
To offer what the land offers—stillness, clarity, care.
To walk beside those ready to listen inward,
and embrace what was always there.
