What if one journal could inspire a whole year of joy, gratitude, and adventure?

It actually can!

The Next Chapter Journal is your month-by-month guide to thriving outdoors, packed with positive psychology prompts, thought-provoking journalling activities, and space to reflect on what truly matters.

The New Year may feel like a natural time to start using this journal, but you can start using it whenever you like. The months are not labelled so you can take this journey at your own pace.

Grab your own Next Chapter Journal today at the TSA Store!

🏔️ SAY YES TO KOSCI IN JANUARY 🏔️

Feel like starting 2026 with a story, not a spreadsheet?
Come hike Kosciuszko & the Snowy Mountains with us – 10–13 January – and tick off Australia’s highest peak in the most fun, supported way possible.

✨ What you get:

4 days / 3 nights fully guided hiking adventure

Small, social group (not a giant tour bus vibe)

Cosy accommodation & great food

A hike that is easier than you probably think, but still feels like a massive accomplishment

Time in big skies, mountain air and away from everyone else’s to-do list

💰 Cost:
$2,495 👉 Now $250 OFF – just $2,245 with our special offer

This trip is already confirmed and running – we’ve had a couple of late dropouts, so we’re opening up this $250 discount to fill the last spots and make it the fun, connected adventure it’s meant to be.

If your gut is whispering “I need this”…

➡️ Comment KOSCI or send me a DM and I’ll send you the discount code + booking link.
Come say YES to mountains, mateship, and starting the year as your best, bravest self. 🌿🥾

What if your big gift this Christmas wasn’t something you wrap… but something you walk? 🎁🥾

Instead of more “stuff”, imagine knowing you’ve already locked in an epic 2026 adventure. Future You is somewhere on a trail thinking, “Best present ever.”

We’ve just opened up our 2026 Adventure Holidays – and a few of the big ones are almost full:

✈️ Japan – Kumano Kodo
📅 14 March 2026 – last spots
Ancient pilgrimage trails, forest temples, hot springs and quietly mind-blowing moments.

🌊 South West Coast Path – UK
📅 8 June 2026 – limited spots
Devon, Dorset, Cornwall – clifftop paths, cosy pubs and long sea views.

🗻 Kilimanjaro
📅 23 September 2026 – 1 spot left
Slow, steady, fully supported climb. One of those “I’ll remember this forever” chapters.

Plus a handful of spots on our Bay of Fires, Kosciuszko and Great Ocean Road walking escapes – perfect if you want something closer to home but still full of wow.

This is your nudge to:

Open the 2026 calendar

Choose your “holy crap, I’m really doing this” adventure

Give yourself a Christmas present that doesn’t end up in a cupboard

👉 Jump onto the Take Shape Adventures website, check the 2026 calendar and grab one of the last spots before they vanish into the “one day” pile.

Next year’s best stories start with the decision you make now. 🌿

That's right... there are actual scientific reasons behind why hiking makes you feel so great!

From both my positive psychology research and my 10+ years of running adventures in nature, I've found that hiking gives you...

Positive Emotion
Engagement
Relationships
Meaning
Accomplishment
..and these are all part of the PERMA Model of Wellbeing (Seligman, 2011). Adventure is one of the few experiences that naturally engages the whole PERMA spectrum, making it a powerful tool for sustainable wellbeing.

Discover the proven benefits of hiking and adventure with us out on the trail! Check out our calendar, pick your new favourite adventure, and book it in today!
