Zen Flow Paddling Experience

The excitement of the rapids is well complemented by the peaceful, pristine, natural gorges that engulf us as we venture further downstream. Wilderness campsites far from civilisation provide the backdrop for impressive stargazing opportunities as we commune around the campfire by night.

Being in canoes creates a platform for a much more intimate understanding of self and of the water. Boats are paddled in pairs, facilitating an opportunity for participants to develop trust, communication and understanding with their canoeing partners, as well as experiencing first hand the outcome of their paddling decisions. The Nymboida river has a safe, drop-pool style, so capsizes and mistakes are harmless fun, with ample room to collect our wits and process our experiences in the calm pools below.

We use the river as a powerful metaphor. As we negotiate the rapids in our canoes, we will also be exploring and negotiating our inner lives and energetic rivers (the meridians) that move through us.

We will have daily Zenthai Flow sessions, connection games and personal reflection activities led by Sonia Brown a Zenthai Shiatsu  Therapist Trainer, who loves teaching in the open sky. She has a background in outdoor recreation, adventure and nature connection with many years of experience in facilitating group connection and team building.

We look forward to sharing this journey living in a simple nomadic community, giving you a treasured experience that you will draw from for years to come!
