Centered Climbing Workshops - Outdoor Leadership Training Seminars

Our unique approach to teaching rockclimbing is based on training in body awareness, balance rather than strength, and centered movement derived form Tai Chi, Yoga, and "inner game: training. Carefully graduated instruction in ropes, belaying, and movement over easy rock allow each climber to move at his or her own pace and select climbs of suitable challenge in a safe and supportive climate.

CENTERED CLIMBING WEEKENDS

Ideal for first-time climbers and those desiring a wholistic approach to learning to climb. Basic rope handling, knots, belaying and careful progression of climbs develop trust and confidence.

This mission is grounded in the fact that
climbing creates a powerful context, which facilitates…

A deepened awareness of mind, body
and spirit
A strong bond of trust and confidence
Careful practice of clear and open
communication

Climbing for Families provides a context in which greater understanding of self, confidence and trust in one’s partner, and communication about one’s own needs is fostered.
