What People Are Saying About Sol Journeys Events, Retreats and Journeys:

Thank you so much for guiding this unforgettable trip. Your preparation was flawless, and I had full confidence that I was safe in your care even though it was my very first backpacking experience. And you went beyond the necessary each day, I enjoyed all your little surprises - the fresh peppers and the riddles and the poems. I appreciate it so much that we had a guide who really lives in the moment with all her heart. You are a very gentle and peaceful, but self-controlled and determined woman, it was a privilege sharing those few days with you. Susanne E, Grand Canyon Backpack, May 07

I want to tell you that over the last several months, the time I’ve spent with Sol Journeys has truly changed my outlook on life.

• The Radical Self Care Retreat (Feb) encouraged me not to give up on my dreams.
• The day hikes, yoga and meditation have given me new resources for personal renewal–resources that will last me a lifetime.
• The Mountain Bike Clinic (May) proved to me that with some specific skills training, encouragement and expert guidance I still have what it takes to do something very physical. I had a blast and felt so accomplished!

I’m a 49 year old professional woman and have spent way too much of my life working inside and behind the desk and I needed to see for myself what I could still do. I no longer define outdoor adventures as what I see outside my office window. I no longer consider them a dream or things that only others do. Thanks to you Jill and Sol Journeys I am living my dreams more fully now than ever before. Keep the adventures coming—I have a lot of catching up to do. Linda Sparks, client.

There are numerous benefits from attending the wonderful evening. My body feels more relaxed, I feel more centered and connected with my body as well as enjoying the focus of the mind-body connection. The instructor, Mary Grace, is filled with kindness, and her approach is gentle and promotes a sense of ease. There is a sense of surrender and serenity as she guides the class through a wonderful meditation. An added benefit is the opportunity to enjoy the collective energy of the other attendees.

I have learned much from the session that I otherwise would have had no opportunity to be exposed to. Chuck H., Dec ‘06 & April ”07 Mountain Bike Clinic Participant

I just love practicing yoga and meditation and I especially love that I don’t have to be really good at it to get pleasure from it.

I am at peace. My body and mind feel so much better. So relaxed! Thanks and please keep up the good work! Fernanda M. Participant March Evening Yoga & Meditation Class

Everything is fundamentals - start with the basics, start with the best. Michael O, April ‘07 Mountain Bike Clinic Participant

The massage a day is an unbelievable treat. I don’t want to work tomorrow and at the same time am excited to get back in and make my dreams happen. Beth Z., Jan Women’s Radical Self Care Retreat

I thought the clinic was VERY well organized and the format was VERY well thought-out. I had an excellent instructor and I got a tremendous amount of useful information and things to continue working on, out of the hours we spent on the bike. So the format of skills in the morning and trail riding, with lots of stopping and working on “do-overs” was perfect. The yoga session was a great way to end the day. I especially liked the “cycling-specific” nature of the class and having the handouts to take away was really nice. Rupert L, Dec Mountain Bike Clinic
