About Spiral River
At Spiral River, we invite you to be on an evolving path for wholeness and fulfillment; we weave elements of Yoga and Movement, Expressive Creative Arts and Nature and Wilderness Ventures in heart-opening ways for our souls, mind and bodies to intertwine. The experiences are sensory and uplifting. There is time for deep inner work, time to be creative, time for opportunities to reflect, and time to connect with others.
The source of Spiral River flows from the life stories within us and the power to draw on those stories for transformation, healing, healthy change and compassion.
The Spiral is a moving map of our life journey; each passage of time and transition enhances the other increasing our awareness and understanding. The River is a metaphor for life itself. It reflects our story within and invites us to keep moving; to explore and to navigate with courage, balance and awe.
