Singing Waters
A Women's Spiritual Raft Trip 
Down the San Juan River
Guided by Laura Theimer and Christa Sadler
May 16 – 20, 2007
In Spectacular Southern Utah 

~ Registration Form ~
   

 
Experience this once-in-a-lifetime float trip down the spectacular San Juan River in the company of 14 phenomenal women on an extraordinary journey of personal exploration.
 

Christa Sadler and an all female crew will lead the raft trip, provided by Wild Rivers Expeditions (www.riversandruins.com). Wild Rivers has set the standard for the highest quality whitewater rafting and float expeditions in Utah and the American Southwest. As you journey down the San Juan, you will enter a world of dramatic red rock, textured by time into alcove, cliff, and canyon.

While there will be ample time for the exploration of side canyons and the exhilaration of whitewater rapids, the focus of the trip will be on using this outward journey to access your inner self. From the moment you arrive at your hotel on Wednesday evening, until you pack to leave on Sunday morning, facilitator Laura Theimer will lead you on a quiet exploration of yourself. Using journaling, meditation, drumming, singing and special exercises, your three days on the river will provide you with serenity, focus, and some tools for allowing you to move back into your old life in a new way.

As you journey down the San Juan, you will enter a world of dramatic red rock, textured by time into alcove, cliff, and canyon.

She has pursued research in archaeology, geology and paleontology across much of the globe, including searching for dinosaurs in Montana, fighting off dust storms and overly curious camels in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, and steering clear of annoyed marine iguanas in the Galapagos Islands. 

As you journey down the San Juan, you will enter a world of dramatic red rock, textured by time into alcove, cliff, and canyon.
Her split personality life has her teaching geology for the Grand Canyon Field Institute, running the ‘four corners’ rivers in the spring and fall, and escaping to Alaska to run rivers in the summers. Winters are usually spent recovering in her home in Flagstaff, Arizona.
