GAIA ADVENTURES FOR WOMEN
AN INVITATION TO LOVE YOUR LIFE
Personal Training | Body Ball Workshops
| Adventures for Women | Corporate Team Building
Yearning
for Physically Challenging Holidays
To Feel Empowered And
Live Your Dreams?
|
“I did it! Now I can do anything!” cried
Zaidah Green, a then 51-year-old hair stylist, her cheeks
wet with tears, as she reached the south rim of the Grand
Canyon. She had completed her five day trek 30 miles, rim
to rim, of the Grand Canyon with other women. She had never
hiked more than 10 km at a time. After this incredible
boost, she felt so powerful she trained for and ran the
42 km Rome Marathon to raise money for Leukemia and later
cycled 100 km to raise money for MS. “I have to take care
of myself. I'm in the second half of my life”, she said.
Unlike
their parents' conventional wisdom of “you slow
down as you get older”, many Baby Boomers are getting more
physically active as they age. Women like Zaidah Green
secretly yearn for a physical challenge so they'll feel
more empowered and confident, so they'll experience the
adventures they've dreamed of before it's too late and
live rich, full lives.
Gaia Adventures for Women offers life transforming,
outdoor holidays in Utah, on Galliano Island, in Whistler
and at the West Coast. Tour company owner, Catherine D'Aoust
will inspire adventurers of all ages to
live their dreams on these tours in a fun, information
filled show of slides and stories on January 24th, 2008.
This presentation is free of charge. Here the details:
