Escape
to an island... be adventurous... relax in comfort... meet fabulous
women... meditate and stretch... and find your passion with Gaia
Adventures.
Galiano Island - the Gem of the Gulf Islands - is best visited
in Spring. Enjoy a Deluxe Gulf Island Getaway and spend an adventure-filled
weekend on this beautiful island. With a micro-climate
more Mediterranean than rainforest, this intimate and unique Gulf
Island haven is ready to welcome you with adventure and luxury.
We yearn for the
simpler island time and space, away from intrusions of every day
stresses, traffic and heavy workloads. Once onboard the ferry we
can begin to connect with the beauty surrounding us. It's amazing
how remote one can feel on a Gulf Island.
Our hike to Bluffs Park along
the rocky shoreline is a great start to the weekend. It's an
easy hike with great viewpoints. In this place of natural beauty
our rhythms become harmonized. And in terms of ultimate fulfillment,
we create our own meaningful environment to realize the possibilities
for uniqueness and growth.
Try our "Afternoon Paddle, Sea Kayaking" program,
four hours kayaking in sheltered waters
surrounded by islands, cliffs and sunning seals. You'll have time to pull up
on a beach, unpack your picnic basket, hunt for sea shells, take
pictures or drawings, or simply enjoy the sun. It's a great opportunity
to experience the magnificent scenery and abundant wildlife of
the island!
On Sunday we will mountain
bike along trails in Bodega Ridge and Dionisio Provincial Park.
Galiano Island, named after the Spanish explorer Dionisio Galiano
who sailed these waters 200 years ago, is a special place of
great natural beauty and interest.
The park is rimed by a varied and beautiful
shoreline and is probably the most scenic
part of Galiano Island. There we will find sandstone headlands sculpted by erosion, wildflower
meadows and verdant forests, pebble beaches and a shallow bay,
known as Coon Bay to the locals.
Hike Mount Galiano, about 2 to 3 hours to the
top with great views of the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island.
The sheer beauty of the surrounding ocean vistas, giant arbutus
trees, and flowering wild flowers is so inspiring. There is a
kind of balance between the natural system and the human system.
Relax in comfort and enjoy gourmet food at Atrevida restaurant,
Trincomali Bakery and Deli and the Hummingbird Pub. It's a great
weekend filled with fun and adventure at an easy relaxing pace
suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
Book
early, this weekend
is limited to 9 women only.

Experience
a place of peace and refuge:
Hike Zion Canyon, Utah,
with Gaia Women |
 |
Imagine the Grand
Canyon on a smaller scale and you will begin to understand
the beauty and uniqueness of Zion Canyon in Utah. The name "Zion" means "a
place of peace and refuge". This spectacular wilderness,
with massive multi-coloured vertical cliffs and deep canyons
is very accessible, making it possible for all fitness levels
to experience it's splendours.
On our first day we hike Weeping Rock and Emerald Pools trails, both
short hikes leading to hanging gardens of wildflowers, dripping springs
and glorious green pools. Angels Landing towering over Zion Canyon will
be our second day's goal; a steep narrow ridge awaits us at the top.
Hiking in canyons and crossing roaring creeks we will discover Kolab
Arch, the world's largest freestanding arch. Each night we stay in comfort
at Zion Lodge featuring historic cabins and two double beds, full bath,
gas log fireplace and private porch.
Hike Zion Canyon, Utah
- June 5-11, 2008.
