I travelled from an eastern inner city home to experience the Wild Soul River Trek Adventure. The program appealed to my desire to heal from a recent death.
Participants were sent helpful information, such as a good physical preparations program, what to bring, and what to read about the history of this part of the Kimberley. Any questions were promptly answered in emails.
The leaders, Terry and Petrine organised a dinner with the participants the night before we headed off early the next morning. On what turn out to be the most amazing 8 days. It was an ADVENTURE, the country is awe-inspiring, the remoteness grounding and soothing. The participant’s physical challenges were nurtured and addressed with encouragement and experience from Terry and Petrine. Bench mark passed daily with such ease with this approach. The sleeping and food components were comfortable and delicious. Petrine and Terry freely shared their extensive knowledge on many levels. Trekking, first people and arrival of pastoralists history, the geologic history, reading maps and the land. The Wild Soul component was an inner adventure it was integrated through out the day with group discussions and practises as well as individually forms of self expression. The activities reflected the participants interests Petrine was very flexible to the group’s input and output. I would highly recommend having this experience. I felt safe and looked after as I explored this incredible part of the outback. Not a blister in sight when we headed back healthy happy and proud of the past 8 days.
