Balanced Rock Camping
Become awake to the present moment through mindfulness practice while camping in Yosemite National Park. Slow down to the beauty and natural rhythms of the park-whether sitting amongst Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine, walking through meadows, surveying mountain vistas, or relaxing near a shimmering lake. Deepen your awareness and tap your creative resources on a retreat among landscapes that inspire painting, meditation, performance art, and other outlets for self-expression.
Visit the quieter corners of Yosemite with the ease of driving to your campsite. In addition to camp-craft skills, you will learn about the natural environment you are visiting, and the interconnectedness of the plants, animals and geography to support the whole. All experience levels are welcome around our campfires. All group camping gear, cooking equipment and soul-satisfying food are provided, so your focus can remain on learning and relaxing.
