SPIRIT PATH Retreat
A Living Upward Experience

“We all operate in a zone that suits us, that challenges our sense of adventure just enough…but not too much. It’s often our fears and expectations that determine just how far we will go. And yet, deep down, we all have an innate desire to stretch past those self-imposed limits and explore new territories and challenges….so why resist? Listen to your innate urge to grow, to be challenged and empowered by self-discovery.”
from After Rain, by Susan Maycock
Walk the Spirit Path
Dates: February 6-9, 2025. 4 pm Thursday – noon Sunday, EST
Location: Packbasket Adventures, in the northwest foothills of the Adirondacks, 12 Reed Road, Wanakena, NY 13695
We invite you to be part of a small group of women ready to journey into self-discovery and the natural world. On this three-night wintertime retreat in the northwest foothills of the Adirondacks we’ll discover new ways to navigate life that feel true and empower you to live that truth. We will nurture our spirits as we settle into the magic of our sacred space, with time to reflect, space to move and meditations to balance.
Your guides on this in-depth journey will be Susan Maycock and Donna Landy. Susan is the founder of the Living Upward Movement and author of After Rain and The Guide to Living Upward. Donna is the owner of Packbasket and a Living Upward Guide. Together Susan and Donna offer you a unique opportunity for transformational growth. It will be an experience you’ll not want to miss.
Our walk on the spirit path will be grounded in the basic tenets of the Living Upward Movement, a movement into consciousness and community where we discover we can show up in life with the intention to live it fully. We can connect with deeper compassion, give in a spirit of abundance and generosity, and participate in a life larger than just our own. With courage and curiosity, we begin to question our lifetime of beliefs, welcome new possibilities for how we can live and love, and commit to a life of greater joy and purpose.
Our offerings to you:
- A sacred and safe space for your true self to thrive
- Breathwork and meditations that are easy and fun
- Self-care routines transformed into rituals of self-love
- Pathways to greater compassion for yourself and others
- Opportunities to connect to the natural world with a deeper sense of awe, gratitude and belonging
