Canoeing

Paddling’s repetitive rhythm, and the river’s natural ebb and flow are a rich metaphor for the cultivation of mindful awareness.

Experience daily canoe trips on the River Dart that are gentle and contemplative with the emphasis on nature connection.

No previous experience of canoeing is required and you’ll get full support from qualified instructors, ensuring you have a safe and rewarding experience. These retreats require participants to have a reasonable level of fitness.
