The Wonder of Water
and a Great River

This expedition connects with “The Goddess” and the Sacred Feminine. It highlights the power of the Moon and how her energy is reflected by the water which can present us with wisdom, strength and purification. We will explore the forest at night and participate in her mysterious healing energies as plants push out an abundance of living air with the rising of the Sun. Breathe deeply as the mist mixes with the forest and thickens life force.

This weekend experience immersed in nature is about “flow” and how nature creates environmental attributes through observations, feelings and sounds that can help to guide our lives including our rest and sleep. We’ll discover the Fountain of Youth in an ancient forest as we accompany a wildcrafter harvesting botanicals in a rainforest.

This expedition follows the Shuswap River into its headwaters area. As our planet changes, water changes its behaviour in high mountain areas. This trek will examine the spirit of water and how a watercourse evolves. We will explore old growth rainforests and subalpine lakes and wetlands. This is indeed a mystical journey into the unknown as we dwell beside the healing powers of ancient stream in the rainforest.

As we search for signs, we will further connect with the sentient part of these forests by providing investigation into the ancient presence of Salmon as well as the restoration of ecosystems.
