EarthWalks for Women:
A Day on the Earth for Self-Awareness and Spiritual Growth
Friday night and all day Saturday, July 11-12, 2008 |

| In addition to making presentations for the Women at Ground Zero Project and facilitating writing programs, Susan Hagen leads Vision Quests and EarthWalks for Wilderness Rites, LLC. |

Being alone with oneself in nature for a designated period of time is one of the most ancient practices of self-awareness and spiritual growth known to humankind. Time spent alone outside teaches us many things, especially about ourselves. The EarthWalk is an opportunity to spend a day alone with the living world, under the guidance of experienced vision quest guides and with the support of a community of other women. As you venture out onto the Earth with a question about or intention for your life, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know who you are in new and authentic ways. |

On the day of your EarthWalk, we’ll gather at dawn and share our intentions for the day. Your guides will prepare you to meet the challenges of this experience and to receive the benefits and gifts of your time alone on the earth. Then you will journey into the natural world on your own, learning to listen to your instincts and look to the living world for teachings about your life. When we come together again at the end of the day, each participant will have an opportunity to share the story of her journey. Your guides will then reflect and confirm the gifts you received during your solo time. For those considering a Vision Quest, the EarthWalk is a perfect introduction to nature-based healing practices. It is also beneficial for anyone who wants to re-establish her connection with the living world. |
