The other part of the day we will be processing and preparing several medicines with our botanical bounty. Preparation skills will be honed and many recipes will be shared so you can return home and DIY. Other activities will include Ayurvedic healing workshops, hiking, outdoor yoga, and daily meditation.

Spend five days in the most remote wilderness in New York, so protected that group sizes are limited to eight people. Home to 58 lakes connected by countless rivers, dotted with hundreds of islands, and totally closed to all motorized craft, this is the largest canoe wilderness in the Northeast and offers unparalleled scenery, great fishing, and amazing camping. We’ll load our canoes and paddle deep into the wilderness, portaging our special lightweight canoes from one pond to the next. Paddle, swim, fish the lakes full of trout, explore the forest full of Great Blue Herons, and enjoy the beauty and serenity of this incredible wilderness. Evenings will include gourmet meals and mindfulness practices to help you reflect and be present during this unparalleled vacation.
