Inward Journey - Yoga & Rock Climbing

This is a ten-day course that combines rock climbing in Joshua Tree with yoga and meditation at the Wright Organic Resource Center atop the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu, California. This course is designed for adults who are seeking an integrated wilderness experience and value the experience of meditation.

A surreal and alien landscape is an apt description for Joshua Tree National Park. The federal government protected this unique region in 1936. Two distinctly different deserts, the Sonoran and Mojave merge at a transition zone where one can see different species indicative of each desert ecosystem. Canyons, small mountains, and broad valleys are the canvas that nature has used to create this intricate and subtle landscape. Doctor Seuss-like plants and a multitude of rock formations rise out of this magical topography. The best way to explore the park is to put a pack on your back and start walking. Desert trekking expeditions are an excellent introduction to the art of desert wilderness travel.

The Wright Organic Resource Center is located in Malibu, California on a beautiful and rustic 24 acre site. Eric Lloyd Wright is an architect and founder of Wright Way Organic Resource Center in Malibu, CA. During Eric's early years in architecture, he was an apprentice to his grandfather, Frank Lloyd Wright and his father, Lloyd Wright. Through Eric's years of design experience, he has developed an understanding that it is not the physical walls and roof, but the space within a building that forms its character - its soul.

The Outward Bound Difference
You should know that the Outward Bound section of this expedition will not be a guided trip, it is a real expedition. That means you and everyone in your group will participate in everything from cooking to navigation to learning knots. You should also know that a team effort means sharing the load and working to make sure that the gear is divided appropriately, that the team works together to reach goals each day.

Course Description
Learn to stretch your body, your consciousness and your abilities on rock with Outward Bound and the Wright Organic Resource Center. This course begins with three and half days of Shamatha meditation and Hatha yoga at the Organic Resource Center in Malibu then moves to Joshua Tree for five days, starting with the basics and teaching you safe climbing practices. Mornings in Joshua Tree will begin with yoga and the focus will be on internal strength, confidence, and awareness.
