When you climb to new heights, you gain new prespective
Explore warriors expeditionsWhat's within you is stronger than what's in your way.
We empower people to break through barriers, find their inner purpose and contribute their very best to the world.
Now, more than ever, we need to believe that What’s Within Us Is Stronger Than What’s In Our Way. Through transformative online and in-person experiences, tools and inspiration, we help people tap into their inner hope, optimism and resilience. In the process, we foster a community of curious, brave and collaborative explorers who are determined to live the No Barriers Life. People are struggling with isolation, a loss of community, mental health challenges, fear and uncertainty. 2020 reminds us that none of us is immune to struggle. Adversity doesn’t care about race, class, creed, color, job title or location. No Barriers has helped tens of thousands of people facing these very issues for the past twenty years—by tapping into the light inside of each of us that knows we can get through it. Despite the barriers—both big and small—that each of us face, we can learn how to push past them, reconnect with our purpose, and unleash the best in ourselves and others.

Join our newsletterMi vida y mi corazón han cambiado para siempre y estoy muy agradecida por esta oportunidad. Ahora me considero un sherpa No Barriers de primera categoría. Los sherpas dicen que «la cumbre es sólo la mitad del camino». La verdadera cumbre sólo se alcanza cuando volvemos a casa y utilizamos nuestros dones para elevar a los que nos rodean. Esta es la culminación del viaje No Barriers.
