Kayak Retreat/Gathering Inn - September 2010


Active By Nature is teaming up with The Gathering Inn to provide a unique way to rejuvenate ourselves and connect with the natural world around us.

The kayak portion of this trip is designed to offer a full immersion in nature that supports our inner journey so that we can see more clearly who we are, and listen to the deeper calling of our hearts. It is simply a way to relax the mind, reenergize the body, and nourish the spirit.

Our day begins at The Gathering Inn with a 7:00 AM yoga class to stretch and warm up the body, followed by a delicious breakfast. We will then transport participants to Tully Dam in Royalston, MA. Our day on the lake will begin with a safety talk, and instruction for first time kayakers. Next we will begin our journey up the river to the Long Pond area in quiet contemplation, arriving at our destination where we'll break for lunch along the shore. Before heading back down the river we'll offer an (optional) hike to Spirit Falls.

Trip Includes:
  • Yoga
  • Breakfast
  • Guided kayak trip & Instruction
  • Guided hike
  • Transportation to and from destination
Participants are responsible for their own boxed lunch
