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 as part of being mindful.
Amy Houseknecht - your guide
Arguably, there is no prettier spot in Montour County to observe the upcoming FLOWER 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 first full moon paddling event of 2023 will occur on Friday, May 5th at 7:00 p.m.
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,
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. “
Montour Preserve provides a scenic space to be. This adventure blends together the meditative bliss of kayaking/paddle boarding and yoga/meditation. On land we will explore breathwork techniques, gentle/yin yoga poses, and meditative sound healing. On water, we will explore movements combined with focused breathwork bringing awareness and relaxation to the body and mind.
During our time together we'll use our senses to consciously connect with nature and each other through shared experience and intentional movement.
Participants will need: yoga mat, blanket/towel, pillow, and the perfection of you!
“A quiet mind cureth all.” Robert Burton

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.
