Gates of Lodore Nature Fix Retreat September 12-15, 2024

Join me this September 12-15, 2024 in partnership with OARS for an extraordinary spell of immersive nature connection on the Green River in Utah.

Ideal for first-time or seasoned rafters, our days on the water will feature fun, splashy Class II-III rapids punctuated by delicious lunches on pristine beaches. We will stop at magical places to explore, swim, and camp under a brilliant sky (on CUSHY mattresses!). We’ll find sit-spots, engage in observational journaling and tap into our innate ability to experience awe, find perspective and share wisdom.

These practices are particularly useful for anyone undergoing periods of flux or difficulty or transitions in their life, but are also wonderful for dealing with the usual stresses of modern life.

We’ll discuss the latest scientific understandings of awe, beauty, and sensorial perception. We’ll consider evolutionary and neuroscientific approaches to the human/nature connection, and learn how to cultivate it more deeply.
