Rooted Connections Retreats (rootedconnectionsretreats.com), partnering with Breakwater Expeditions (https://www.breakwaterexp.com), gets you to disconnect from the day-to-day so you can reconnect with nature and with yourself.  Their upcoming trip, October 16-20, 2022, is a women’s only trip and will combine time on the Black Canyon stretch of the Colorado River, starting their day and a half of canoeing right at the base of the Hoover Dam.  After one night on the river, participants will spend two nights together in a vacation rental, where they will engage in insight-oriented work together and continue to adventure through rock climbing in the red rocks of Nevada.

“I see myself as valuable for the first time, such a big change in my mindset and I have been taking better care of myself.  And I have finally become a friend to myself.”  Whether the nature-based retreat is 5 days in the backcountry, a hybrid trip of camping and enjoying time in a vacation rental, or 5 nights in a rental with day trips to the wilderness, the retreats attract repeat customers who cannot say enough about the importance of their experiences.  The Women’s Journey Retreat will start in Las Vegas, NV and $2500 covers everything needed, with the exception of flights.

Whether you are the parent of a struggling adolescent or young adult, an adult looking to treat yourself to an insightful adventure, or a family looking to connect in nature over the summer, Rooted Connections can support your needs.  After listening for years to parents who had a child in wilderness therapy express their need for something similar, Rooted Connections Retreats was formed to offer parents something that could fit their schedules and an opportunity for a personal reset.
