Days at Open Sky
As you move through the desert landscape you will explore both the world around you and the world within yourself. Typical days will include yoga and meditation, eating an organic breakfast, packing-up camp, hiking to your destination, stopping along the way for a lesson, arriving at your new camp, journal writing, playing a game, checking-in with a guide, making a communal, whole-foods dinner, spending time around a fire, and then gazing at the stars as you go to sleep. You will have group therapy and one-on-one time with field guides daily and individual sessions with your therapist weekly. At Open Sky, you will have time to identify and invigorate your inherent strengths. You will explore ways in which you may have been using self-destructive means to cope with stress and learn healthy, revitalizing ways to meet your needs.

Personal Wellness Practice
If you come to Open Sky with a practice you will have the time and space to explore and develop it; if you have not yet explored a personal wellness practice this would be a great place to start. In four dimensions - body, mind, heart and soul - you will be identifying and developing personal wellness practices. A wellness practice for the body may involve eating wholesome foods and exercising. A wellness practice for the mind may include journaling or reading. A wellness practice for the heart may include writing letters or practicing healthy communication. A wellness practice for the soul may include meditation or creating a vision for your future.
