WHY KAYAK IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS?
REFLECTIONS FROM A PAST PARTICIPANT, CARISA
We only have guests one time, after that, they become our friends!
Carisa B. , San Juan Islands 2022
“We started the trip off by choosing an anchor that would help us connect to the present moment. I chose the feeling of the wind on my face. I kept coming back to this anchor (and still do) over and over again while dipping my paddle into the ocean chatting away with my kayak partner. This trip had deep, profound, and quiet moments of reconnecting with nature, while at the same time engaging in the joy, laughter, and vibrancy of the group. What I love about Root Trips is there is an effortless in which the guides lead you into nature and back to yourself. There is no pushing or forcing or intense seriousness. It happens through the moments of letting go and having fun. On this trip I remembered how to play. How to get lost in looking at a mushroom growing on a tree and sit around a campfire looking at the stars.”
