Join Neptune Mountaineering as professional climber and guide Marcus Garcia shares the emotional journey of connecting deeply with his climbing mentor and how he managed the grief that came when his mentor died in an accident. Marcus discovered a deep meaning in grief and the value it plays for those who participate in potentially fatal activities like climbing and mountaineering.

Marcus will also reflect on why being a mentor is so powerful and how rewarding it can be. He will share how along his own career he has mentored many that have dealt with grief and how he has guided his mentees through their own emotional roller coaster of loss helping them find meaning and purpose.

The talk will conclude with a powerful film called "The Mentor" which documents some of Marcus' journey.
