Inward Journey/Outward Bound®: Flat-Water Canoeing on the Green River Through Canyonlands National Park with Kay Peterson, Chad Bennett & Outward Bound Instructors

September 28 - October 7, 2007


Embark on an incomparable adventure both inside and out. Pairing the stillness of meditation practice with the movement of challenging, invigorating outdoor activities, we will stretch ourselves beyond our preconceived limitations and habits. Reach new heights of inner awareness in this journey designed to nourish the body and the spirit.

Outward Bound and Shambhala Mountain have expanded their successful collaboration to offer four unique retreat opportunities in 2007. Beginning each retreat with four days of meditation, yoga and other mindfulness practices, we will access our own inherent strength, confidence, compassion and courage. During this time, we will also learn and practice wilderness travel skills. With greater awareness of the body-mind connection, we will then venture forth on an expedition with Outward Bound further exploring and transcending our edges, individually and collectively.

During this retreat, we will explore the natural flow of our minds while immersed in the dynamic landscape of Utah's canyon country, beginning our journey on the Green River and winding through Canyonlands National Park. Meditation, flat-water canoeing and camping will be our foundational practices for this expedition.

Note: For adults ages 23 and above.
