Riverside Adventure Company is working with Amy Houseknecht to create some paddling opportunities that combine exercise for your body, with exercise for your mind and soul.
Embracing the planets and stars and our place in the Universe is part of being mindful.

Arguably, there is no prettier spot in Montour County to observe the upcoming SUPER MOON; than the Montour Preserve.
The planets and moon are not only amazing to gaze upon from this vantage point; but they also undeniably effect who we are, and how we experience our daily existence. We would like to explore those things with you.
The next full moon will occur on Thursday, Aug. 11 at 9:36 p.m. (0336 Aug. 12 GMT), but the moon will appear full the night before and after its peak to the casual stargazer.
The August full moon is also known as the Full Sturgeon Moon. It will be the fourth of four supermoons in a row, according to NASA eclipse watcher Fred Espenak.
Below, you will find the itinerary and timetable for this event, as well as some words from Amy about what she does, and what she tries to accomplish in her time with folks who are open to stretching, breathing, and practicing mindfulness to fully embrace each day.
From Amy,
”Mindfulness is a self generated energy that supplies us with the space and time we need to create an increased quality of learning and life. Mindfulness enhances the ability to organize tasks, manage time, set priorities, and make decisions. Life does not have to be a struggle to live a present, fulfilling, happy life. Meditation is a practice for achieving these goals. Meditation provides us with tools for navigating this stressful world, while allowing us to deepen our connection with self.
Join me for a guided meditation, breathwork techniques, sound healing; followed by Makko Ho daily renovation stretches which rejuvenate the body, strengthen crucial core body functions, and stimulate blood and lymph circulation. Movement creates improved health and life.
I feel nurtured and peaceful in nature, appreciative of the quiet space it provides us to be, connect, and create; I invite you to share in this space with me. “
“A quiet mind cureth all.” Robert Burton

The cost is $55.00 and you can use the button to register. We provide everything you need including boats, paddles, life jackets and Guides. If you have your own gear, it’s fine to bring it along if that makes you a more comfortable paddler. There is no discount for doing so, as our staff will still be helping get the gear to the launch location and doing he same amount of work as if we supply the gear.
