What is an Inuksuk?

An Inuksuk is a pile of rocks in the shape of a person. Inuk means 'person' and suk means ‘substitute’ in the Inuit language. The inuksuk was used by the Inuit in Canada to show people the way, to warn people of danger ahead, as a memorial sign or as a helpful tool at the caribou hunt. The Inuksuk stands for Inuit power, leadership and motivation.

Through our travels and expeditions, we are more than ever convinced that nature is a perfect teacher. When travelling through pristine wilderness, over high mountains or on rough seas, you immediately feel humble, a state of mind we tend to loose in this 21first high-tech century where we think we can conquer anything !

Being outdoors, you appreciate your shelter, food and water, and you appreciate more than ever true friendship. One learns when to travel and when to stay put and listen to the teachings of the weather elements. One doesn't ‘conquer’ a mountain; the mountain lets one walk on it.

Through our INUKSUK website we want to share with you our adventures and respect for mother Earth. We invite you to use your 5 senses and start to witness what nature can provide you: a never ending teaching book. Happy trails, Bert & Kiki

Goji Berries
berriesThe authentic Goji berries contain up to 21 trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus). They also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E, and polysaccharides which fortify the immune system.

The Goji berry is a deep-red, dried fruit about the same size as a raisin. The taste is somewhat like a cross between a cranberry and a cherry. A good daily intake is 10-30 grams (a small handful). Goji berries may be used as snacks or mixed with recipes or smoothies like other dried fruits.

Maca
macaMaca has a reputation as a powerful strength and stamina enhancer that stretches back into prehistory. Like goji berries and ginseng, maca is a powerful adaptogen, which means it has the ability to balance and stabilize the body's systems. 

As an adaptogen, maca can provide more energy if it is needed, but will not overstimulate the body. Adaptogens also boost immunity and increase the body's overall vitality by 10-15% according to most studies.

Sun Warrior Protein
sunSun Warrior Protein is completely Vegan, and is made from 85% pure protein and has an extremely high digestion efficiency rating, allowing a wealth of nutritional benefits to saturate every cell in our bodies quickly and completely.
