Abstract

The wilderness, love and respect for nature, women's spirituality, and the challenge of new experiences are the basis for creating all-women river trips through the Grand Canyon. They are an opportunity for women to commune with each other, be physically active all day, discover new skills and strengths, create meaningful ceremonies, develop strong bonds, and be close to nature. There are distinct, wondrous, and life-challenging shifts in an individual's psyche that occur when faced with the unknown possibilities inherent in wilderness experiences. The grandeur of the canyon walls and the power of the river serve as keys, opening places in the human heart another human cannot open. Sharing that opening together in the Grand Canyon, as women, each of us bestowed with the honor of unbounded love and support, we marvelled with an unshakable reverence for the tenacity of nature.
