Envisioning Your Life Find your values, strengths, purpose and create a vision statement and action plan for your life. This interactive seminar forms the basis for each woman’s personal work moving forward. Beginning with an exploration of what we value and what our personal strengths are, we can then formulate our life purpose and a vision for the woman we want to be. We start the seminar on Friday morning and end it on Sunday with specific goals and an action plan. Rafting/kayaking It has been said that one never steps in the same river twice. It is true of our daily lives as well, each one new and filled with opportunities and challenges. With the Colorado River and Timberline Tours guiding us, we will explore the metaphor of the River as Life’s Journey on one of the most scenic stretches of the river. As a river flows, so does our life – ever-changing and with surprises around every bend. Overcoming fears, embracing adventure and play, learning to balance, going with the flow, scouting life’s rapids, and knowing when to rest are all part of this journey. Activities and Programs Climbing We all run into walls in our life. How do we approach such a roadblock – by throwing up our hands and giving up? Or searching aimlessly for a way around? This climbing excursion, led by Adventure Travel Guides International, will address a different approach – one that involves understanding the nature of the wall, working out its intricacies and challenges, and then discerning a strategy for conquering it one hand-hold and foot-hold at a time. Critical thinking, overcoming emotion and fear, developing a strategy, and teamwork make climbing an empowering metaphor for overcoming obstacles in our life. Healing Through Horses Horses represent the amazingly symbiotic partnerships we are capable of forming in our lives. These half-ton “flight” animals are perfect mirrors and capable of teaching humans the nature of pure Trust and Truth. Renowned Gestalt Equine facilitator and founder of Touched by a Horse, Melisa Pearce, uses horses to help people understand their emotions and intuition in a new way, which deepens a trust in their own self-knowing and personal power. Activities and Programs Self Care and Wellness Each of us is our own garden and what we harvest from our life depends on what we plant, nurture, grow and weed from our personal garden. This workshop, held outdoors, teaches the synergy between nurturing oneself and others, offering tools for quick rejuvenation and long-term self-care and empowerment. Awareness of our emotional state and learning to choose our responses gives us the power to understand and embrace our emotional self. Women will explore aromatherapy and herbal therapy, journal, learn grounding, communication, discernment and emotional stress relief skills. Mountain/Wilderness Experience Imagine stepping into the wilderness, walking a path through the forest. You come upon a fork in the path, roots and rocks to step over, solitude. Finally you reach the high point in the landscape, a knoll, a lake, a peak. You look back to see that each foot forward shaped the journey, and delivered you closer to yourself, your dreams. With the expert guidance of Trailwise Guides, Inc., you will spend a day exploring Vail's scenic backcountry. This hike is designed to deepen your connection with the natural world, help you feel the pulse of your heart, awaken your breath to freshness and vitality, enliven your soul, and to illuminate nature's role as a resource. Discovering the benefits of a day out in nature opens your heart to your personal path, identifies the steps needed for walking back into the wilderness we call "home", and celebrates our new found community. All ability levels are invited to participate in this journey.
