INTO THE WILD
AN ADVENTURE FOR WOMEN

25th June - 03rd July 2016
Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca
The Call to Adventure
When we walk with the wind, listen to the songs of the mountain, feel the rhythm of the earth pulsing beneath our feet, we remember. Suddenly we shift into an experience of pure simplicity -
all illusions fall away, and we are cleansed of our worries and concerns.

We come home to ourselves.

This is the power and the majesty of the mountains.
The possibility that opens when we heed the call to adventure -
the stirring in our gut that whispers,

"There is something waiting for you out there amongst the rocks and the ridges,
the firs and the sky. Go to it."

Intention
Our intention for this hike is to challenge our own boundaries – physical and non-physical, and to explore what remains when we overcome daunting challenges. In the setting of the rugged and soul-stirring wilderness, we invite you to this quest – about Self and Meaning, about womanhood and sisterhood, and the vast possibility of our lives.

We believe wild nature can help us in our individual and collective search for meaning and potential. To leave life as we know it behind for a few days and completely immerse ourselves in nature’s open spaces is an opportunity to get out of the boundaries of our assumptions about ourselves and experience the size of our infinite Self.

Out under the vast expanse of sky, the endless ridges of the mountains, we drop into a deep awareness of our smallness -
our perspective of our lives undergoes a radical shift, and the knowing of who we are and our place in the world
settles deep into our bones.

What happens when we transcend our imaginary limits and come to know who we really are?
We walk to transition
To release that which no longer serves.
To transcend our concepts of who we are and what we can do

Transition
The old makes way for the new
Throughout our lives we face many periods of transition. When we aren't fully aware of the process it can feel like a struggle, awkward and painful.
Consciously transitioning from one phase to another, surrendering to the process, we can birth the new gently, wisely, and with grace.
Release
From closure comes freedom
We all carry scars, wounds, stories that have yet to be ended, patterns that are waiting to be released.
Walking is a powerful catalyst for letting go. For opening to new possibilities. For leaving behind what no longer serves, drawing a line, finding closure.
Transcend
A space for the emerging Self
Sometimes we need to break out of an old self-concept, an old identity that no longer quite fits, a belief about who we are that no longer serves us.
In the wilderness of the rugged mountains with the wide expanse of sky above us, step by step we open, surrender, transform.
”It was a world I’d never been to and yet had known was there all along.
A world I thought would both make me into the woman I knew I could become, and turn me back into the girl I’d once been”

{ Cheryl Strayed }
The Challenge
Five days across the mountains of northern Mallorca

Our journey begins in Pollença at the foot of the Tramuntana mountain region in the northeastern part of the island where we will gather for the first night.

The following day our hike along the GR 221 route kicks off heading west towards Sóller. Over the next five days we will be covering an average walking distance of about 15-20km per day. Most of our nights will be spent at hilltop sanctuaries and mountain refuges that provide basic accommodation facilities and meals.
Integration
Two days to relax, celebrate and integrate at the end of the trail in Deià

Relax
Kick back and enjoy
After moving every day we'll be slowing down the last two days and letting the experience settle in as we enjoy being lazy and deeply relax.
Celebrate
How far we've come
We're going to have earned some fun and these last two days will be all about it - sun, sea & enjoying the satisfaction of a challenge well met.
Integrate
Let the experience sink in
We'll hold space for integrating the adventure; what happened, what came up, what shifted, what impulses or insights have come into awareness.
Practicalities

Getting there
Mallorca has one international airport (PMI) with most low-cost airlines like EasyJet and Ryanair providing connections to bigger and medium-sized European cities.

Our base for the first night will be Pollença, which is easily reachable from the airport by taxi (and costs a maximum of 40 Euros), however we will try to coordinate joint transportation with people arriving at similar times.
Fitness
We will be hiking in high temperatures (the average in June is 21 degrees Celsius with maximum 30 degrees) through rough terrain including rocky landscapes, and although it tends to cool down a lot faster in the mountains the summer heat can be quite challenging.

The average walking distance we intend to cover daily is around 15-20km - we trust you to assess your fitness level responsibly and decide for whether this adventure is right for you or not.
Gear
We expect hot temperatures but mountain weather is unpredictable so layers of clothing (including rain protection!) are the way to go. In the evenings the temperature does cool significantly so you'll need to bring some warm clothes to make sure you're snug when we settle down for the night.

You're going to need a backpack, sleeping bag, hiking boots (that have been broken in!), sunglasses, rain gear, water flasks, sun protection, a hat and a basic first aid kit - a full packing list will be provided
The Tramuntana Range
A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011, the Tramuntana range runs southwest–northeast across the northern third of the Island. The highest peak lies at 1,445 meters, with many peaks over 1,000 meters.
