With Beauty Before Me: Hiking Zion National Park

5-day mid-week

There are no dates currently scheduled.

Experience the serenity and unutterable beauty of Utah’s Zion National Park, a truly majestic and divine creation. With massive canyon walls and Zion Narrows, this area is considered one of the most breathtaking adventures in America.  Meditation, chanting, yoga, and Sharing Nature Activities will help you to feel the Divine presence in this park more fully. We will share practical meditation techniques with you.  Note: Depending on time, we might also explore Bryce Canyon National Park.

Your guides will be Sundara Traymar of Sharing Nature Worldwide as well as other Ananda yogis with extensive experience in leading wilderness outings.

Important: We will be doing extensive hiking (no backpacking), so you need to be in good physical shape and have no serious health problems. The hikes will be moderate to somewhat strenuous. If you would like to join us, please fill out the application at right. If you’re accepted, we’ll send you a gear list. Please email greg@sharingnature.com  if you have any questions.  Limit to 12 people!
