Canyonlands 2024

A remote canyon setting ... primeval silence ... flat water paddling ... secluded sandbars ... evening fires ... delicious food ... lively conversation ... dreamwork ... and lots of laughter.

For the past twenty years, Michael has been leading small groups into the canyons of southeastern Utah to explore the deepest levels of the spiritual quest, to reconnect with the sacredness of the earth, and to explore the art of co-creation with like minded souls. 

At the river's edge, we adopt a reverential attitude towards the earth, and use the principle of "necessary communication only" to explore what really needs to be said, and what does not.   

Most mornings start off slow to commune with the silence and beauty of the landscape, followed by paddling on the river, hiking in a side canyon, or taking a refreshing swim, without a predetermined plan for how each day unfolds.

As we sink in, Michael weaves together insights from pioneering work on dialogue with the wisdom of dreams, so that we can come into alignment with the movement of our deeper being.   

When the trip through Labyrinth Canyon reaches 12-15 participants, we will take reservations for a second trip through Stillwater Canyon, and a few slots will be set aside for people who want to spend sixteen days under an open sky. 

**Cost: $2,895 per trip, including equipment rentals, shuttles, and catered meals.** 

Michael's work should not be confused with the talking school of nonduality, an emotional processing group, or even a traditional meditation group. It  does resemble a few other speakers from the Celtic world, but has its own origin, and logos. 

To gauge how well Michael's work resonates with you, participants are encouraged to schedule a forty five minute consultation in advance, free of charge.

"The canyons have become such a regular part of my life, it is hard to imagine not coming out here each year."

"Those storm clouds above the canyon rim are strangely responsive to what we are doing out here."
