Zen of Sailing
Explore presence, awareness of body, mind and spirit under sail. Experience travel on Lake Wanaka under the lake's terms, whether windy or calm, we'll be in whatever weather the lake serves up, and learn a bit about ourselves in the process.
Too often, we rush about our daily lives, forgetting the basics of being in the moment. Sailing offers a respite from the mind and rush of thought. Wind, water and waves combine with solitude offering an experiential approach to learning presence.
Join up to 4 other adults for a half day sail and meditation on an island
or remote beach.

Details
Randall is the co-facilitator and skipper for this program. We sail the Noelex 7.7m yacht Astrolabe, which is inspected by Maritime New Zealand. Randall has a MNZ skippers license and has instructed/facilitated courses for years at Outward Bound and Mountain Spirit and other guiding companies. He has meditated since his early teens, and has been in a leadership role with various Peruvian shamanic, Native American, and meditation retreats and programs. Amanda teaches the Yin Yoga section and has a wonderful way of helping participants connect deeply with their inner selves when taking one of her yoga sessions.
Just bring yourselves, suncreen, a windbreaker, hat and sunglasses and a bag lunch. We'll show you the ropes so you can pitch in as much or little as you want, - teamwork and centeredness are two goals/outcomes of the program.
