Solstice Expansion Retreat
“Climbing as a gateway to self”
4 Days of Life Coaching, Climbing & Yoga
Boulder, CO - June 16-20, 2023 - All climbing levels
Overview
Can climbing aid our personal and spiritual growth? We are certain it does! In this retreat we will help you connect to this aspect of climbing so that it can enrich your life even more!
Join us in Boulder, Colorado to dive deeply into unique life lessons that climbing can teach each of us. This trip will be led by Marta, a certified life coach and lifelong rock climber and Heidi, professional athlete and AMGA certified rock guide.
This trip is for those who want to use climbing as a portal for self transformation and self mastery. Over the course of this four day workshop Marta and Heidi will share with you tools and skills that took them a lifetime to develop. These techniques will help you maximize how much the art of climbing can teach you about your inner world. When we find the patterns of habits and behaviors in one area of our life, they get revealed to us in many other aspects. This also means that when we practice expanding in one area, it will translate into many other areas of our life.
This retreat begins with one full day dedicated to self inquiry. On day one, the 4 directions of soul workshop will start us off, followed by yoga, and group discussion. We will each set individualized goals for the trip as well on day one. Day two and three we meet in the morning for an outdoor climbing adventure and in the afternoon we will meet back up in Boulder to debrief, reflect and to expand upon our findings from the day. The morning of day four is dedicated to an exploratory vision quest followed by our final group meeting together for reflection and a closing ceremony.

“The spring of love arrives
to transform the dust into a garden.
The call is heard from the heavens
To bid the wings of soul to fly
The sea becomes filled with pearls.
The dry land received the water of life.
The stone becomes a ruby,
And the body becomes all soul. ”
