Desert Bloom Fall River Trip

Intergenerational Therapeutic Canoe Trip
For Women and Non-Binary Folks (comfy in femme-centered spaces)
October 5th - 12th, 2025

What is a transformational journey? Where do I find a journey that can get me unstuck?

You have come to the right place. Keep reading.

Our 6 day canoe trip on the Green River in Utah is designed for women and non-binary folks that are comfortable in a femme-center space. We are offering a space for deep connection, reflection, play, and community. Therapeutic facilitators and professional river guides, each day will be an invitation to step outside the relentless pace of modern life and into the natural rhythm of the landscape around us - where time slows, presence deepens, and community flourishes.

Every day we will canoe down the river as a group, staying in a different spot each night. Our days will be filled with conversation, creativity, movement, and mindfulness, alongside we will have opportunities for quiet reflections, side hikes, and swimming. Evenings will bring shared meals, fireside chat, and the simple joy of being under an open sky. With the river as our guide, we will flow between structured group experiences and spacious time to explore, rest, and reconnect.
