Hiking Trips for Spiritual Seekers
Do you enjoy spending time in nature--camping, hiking, fishing, just being? Are you also a spiritual seeker?
We offer a unique 4-night spiritual retreat for adults seeking inner peace and freedom. While immersed in Nature, hiking on the Appalachian Trail, you are offered a program that has two primary objectives: to clarify your individual spiritual belief system, and to deeply connect with your Higher Power or Innermost Self.
Join us for an unforgettable experience of clarity and connection.

The retreat takes place on a section of the Appalachian Trail. The hiking itself is easy-to-moderate; we will spend 4-6 hours each day walking. You do not need to be an avid hiker, but the program assumes a basic level of competence in the skills required to be healthy and safe in the woods.
In addition to hiking, we will take some time each day for solo and group activities. A participant may choose to opt out of a given activity, as long as others are not impacted by their choice. Possible activities include:
Although specialized backpacking gear is provided, participants may choose to bring their own gear. Each participant is responsible for bringing suitable outdoor clothing, trail-worthy footwear, and items for his or her personal use. Each participant must also bring a backpack that fits well; it may be borrowed or rented.
We offer your group a custom retreat on the A.T. or other location convenient to you? Contact us; we'll be glad to help!

- Solo silent periods for introspection, reading, prayer, meditation, etc.
- Group times for clarifying individual belief systems. (See the Personal Precepts page.)
- Solo "play time" when we each enjoy an activity we brought from our life at home: knitting, sketching, photography, yoga, bird watching, etc.
- A solo night: 12 hours of silent time to "just be" with your thoughts, your heart, and your Higher Power or Innermost Self.
