CLOUD CANYON EXPEDITIONS
Wilderness Retreats for Women
2008 Trip Schedule

Seven-day wilderness retreats in the beautiful canyon and slickrock country of southern Utah.
Each 7-day trip costs $700.

2008 dates:

April 20-26
“Nature as our Teacher”

A backpacking retreat into the stillness of the canyons. We will hike, camp, and meditate by the flowing stream.

September 7-13
“Devotion and Gratitude in Nature”

This slickrock retreat will be supported by llamas. Cloud Canyon hikers carry only daypacks. We will set up a base camp near still pools, exploring the surrounding area on day hikes.

October 5-11
“Awakening in the Wilderness”

This backpacking Vipassana meditation retreat will be co-led by Susie Harrington, a wilderness dharma teacher. (click on guides)

Each of our wilderness retreats combines meditation practice with the adventure of being in the wilderness. Our mindfulness practice carries over from sitting meditation to affect everything we do: hiking, swimming, talking, sharing in council circle, silence and solitude.

Our wilderness retreats are pilgrimages to ourselves, sacred journeys to interconnectedness.

Our canyon routes take us through narrow redwalled canyons and under immense alcoves with hanging gardens. We'll discover waterfalls and secluded Anasazi petroglyphs. We will camp streamside, where breezes sigh through the willows and cottonwoods.

On our slickrock routes we wander through some of the most wild and beautiful slickrock country in the southwest. We'll hike and camp beneath majestic outcrops, take our water from still pools and rushing streams, watch eagles and stars. We'll experience the magical silence of the desert.
