Singing Waters
A Women's Spiritual Raft Trip 
Down the San Juan River
Guided by Laura Theimer and Kristen McKinnon
September 18 - 22, 2008
In Spectacular Southern Utah 

   

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.

An all female crew will lead the raft trip, provided by Wild Rivers Expeditions. 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 Thursday evening, until you pack to leave on Monday morning, experienced 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.
