Immerse yourself in nature and embodied mindfulness practice
Beloved of the Earth
San Juan River Yoga and Meditation Retreat
June 20-23, 2025
Bluff, Utah
Authenticity
In everyday life, you may feel disconnected from your true self.
Day to day there isn't space to feel your heart's desires or touch into the abundant resilience that sustains you.
Open yourself to deep belonging within the natural world.
Cultivate spaciousness through slowing down, embodied practice, and inner reflection.
Embrace your most authentic self.
Connection
On this rafting yoga retreat you will embrace connection to your inner rhythms as they mirror nature's cycles.
Claim space to savor the pleasures of slowing down immersed in red rocks, summer sun, and flowing water.
Stretch yourself inside and out through yoga and meditation.
Rest deeply, held by the river.
Give yourself the gift of play, exploration, and reflection.
We strive to hold space for you that is inclusive and affirming, that honors the dignity of every life, human and greater than human, the land, and the lineages of these practices.
Allow yourself to unplug.
Reconnect with nature.
Feel your body’s rhythms in community.

Meet Your River Trip Leader
Kim Whitley (she/her) is a raft and wilderness guide with more than 20 years of experience on the San Juan River. When she’s not on the water, Kim is a human service professional advocating for family caregivers and services that support our elders aging in place.
