For the past four years, Grimerica has hosted what has come to be known as Contact at the Cabin, or CaC.

It’s a meetup of presenters and fans mingling ideas and strategies about various topics and ancient fables over the course of a long weekend. A tradition that has come to be described by attendees as “life-changing”. Contact at the Canyons returns in 2024 as we descend on Duck Creek Village, Utah for a fourth time to continue exploring Bryce and Zion Canyons under the cover of dark with David W Mathisen and Brandon Powell, this time with summer weather.

All inclusive (food, transport, lodging, tour fees, park entrance fees, included – ALCOHOL NOT INCLUDED - optional atv rental extra)

Brandon is a professional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Self Defense, and Functional Fitness coach. He owns and operates a dojo in Charlotte, NC. Brandon became certified in the Wim Hof Method with the first group of U.S. instructors learning directly from Wim. “The Wim Hof Method had a tremendous impact on my life. The empowering results helped me realize that so many people can benefit from this practice. I took advantage of the opportunity presented by Wim and the Innerfire team to become an instructor. Its an honor to help Wim teach his method and message of health, happiness, strength, and love!” Brandon teaches seminars and classes on the Wim Hof Method at his dojo and abroad.

David W. Mathisen investigates the evidence that the world’s ancient myths, scriptures, and sacred stories are speaking a language of celestial metaphor which is based on the heavenly cycles of the sun, the moon, the visible planets, and the stars and constellations. He is the author of six books exploring this language and these connections, including the multi-volume series Star Myths of the World, and how to interpret them, as well as Astrotheology for Life and The Undying Stars. He also publishes a blog, videos, and other material at www.starmythworld.com. David Mathisen graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point and has a masters degree in literature from Texas A&M University. He has taught in the Department of English and Philosophy at West Point and has had a love of the ancient myths and the stars in our night sky since he was a young child.

Accommodations

We are located in Duck Creek Village. Aunt Sues Chalet, our local Restaurant is next door. There is a small convenience store and gas station. Two Fabulous Gift Shops are within walking distance. From our door, you can ATV or Snowmobile. Mountain Biking is also Big. Best most Scenic Trails in all the World, in my opinion.

Walk to beautiful Aspen Mirror Lake and Duck Creek. Just 2 miles down the road is the Duck Pond. Catch trout, watch the Osprey, Hike, or just relax! Navajo Lake is just 3.5 mi from the Lodge. It offers GREAT fishing, Boating, Swimming, Hiking, etc.
