Cloud Canyon Expeditions offers women guided wilderness meditation retreats in the spectacular canyon and slickrock country of southern Utah. Most of our trips are backpacking; we do one llama-supported trip a year. Mindfulness meditation, in the Vipassana (insight) tradition, provides the structure for our days and a way to open to our inner journey and connect more deeply with the world around us.
We balance solitude and silence with the supportive companionship of other women who are seeking the joy and stillness of a sojourn in the desert. Wilderness meditation has long been understood to deeply support awakening. The stillness of the desert combines with our mindfulness practice to open us to joy, presence, and ease, and a new sense of our connection to the world. On each trip there will be an opportunity to do a twenty-four hour solo, usually on the fifth day.
Meditation instruction will be given for those new to the practice.
