Self Renewal In Nature - Explore the Authentic: Canoe and Camp on the St Croix

June 20-23, 2024 (Thursday - Sunday)
This is a 4 day experience where we can take full advantage of being away from the day-to-day. While exploring nature, we'll also be exploring how Mindfulness can take us deep into a connection with our inner wisdom and natural knowing, our innate self healing abilities, and ways to continue a life of peace, joy and well-being.

We will meet Thursday, June 20 11:00am at William O'Brien State Park. We'll get time to meet each other then learn from our guides who will prepare us for canoeing and camping. We'll also have time to start our adventures in nature, mindfulness, and renewing our souls.

Friday and Saturday we continue to canoe our way down the river and take in beautiful natural surroundings, have time for Mindful practices, diving into inner wisdom and natural knowing. We'll get to cook together and end the day with powerful practices around the campfire.
On Sunday morning we'll continue both our canoeing and internal journeys. At the end of the trip we'll have time for reflecting and setting intentions for whatever is next for us.

From www.wildernessinquiry.org:
The St. Croix Scenic Riverway defines the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. This beautiful area was protected by Congress in 1968, including 255 miles of the St. Croix and its major tributary, the Namekagon River. Many species of animals make their homes along the river. At dawn and dusk paddlers may glimpse white-tailed deer or black bears foraging along the riverbanks. Eagles, osprey, and hawks soar overhead. Join us on one of these great outdoor adventures just an hour outside of the Twin Cities.
•Only a short drive from the Twin Cities
•Paddle 24-foot Voyageur canoes on easy-flowing water
•View ancient petroglyphs on the cliffs along the way
•Riverway is lined with old-growth pine, sandstone bluffs, and sand beaches
