From the Institute:<\/div>\n
\n
For millennia, human beings have entered wild landscapes for pilgrimage and retreat. From Asia to the Americas, a common tradition of studying the self in relation to mountains, canyons and rivers has emerged as fundamentally transformative.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Absaroka Institute offers wilderness meditation expeditions that explore wild nature and human potential. While traveling through beautiful and wild landscapes of the Rocky Mountain West, Absaroka Institute participants practice meditation and mindfulness techniques that support personal transformation.<\/div>\n
