Women's Wilderness Trips are a way for women to reconnect with creation and with their Creator.

Wilderness describes both the external wild beauty of nature and the internal wild landscape of our hearts, minds and souls. These trips allow women to return to the wilderness as an integral part of their spiritual journey and a meaningful way to nurture their spirit and to gain perspective.

We hope you will consider joining us on one or more of the 2011 Wilderness Trips. Look for the descriptions below.

 Manitou Yoga

Come and be held by the peace of North Manitou Island. This retreat combines the peacefulness of a kind-hearted island with a daily yoga practice. Each moment is yours, to develop and encourage your truth, to hear your voice again. This retreat will also provide a time to stretch your body, lift your spirit and energize your mind.

If you have never been to a yoga class or been hiking, this trip will be a great place to start. "Manitou Yoga" is for beginners as well as the seasoned practioner.
