Women Only
6 day Writers Workshop on the Colorado
River
Page Lambert shares her love of
writing on this exclusive river journey for women, using her talent and
expertise to help teach us how to express ourselves in creative and connected
ways. Let the mystery and magic of life unfold as you journey down the river
through the powerful landscape of Cataract Canyon. Discover the joy of
outdoor adventure while exploring the creative wilderness of your own inner
landscape.
Recipient of a 2004 Literary
Fellowship from the Wyoming Arts Council, Page Lambert was described in
Inside/Outside Southwest Magazine as one of the most notable women writers
of the contemporary West. Her memoir In Search of Kinship and novel
Shifting Stars continue to draw high praise. She was picked by the Rocky
Mountain News as “one of the summer’s hottest reads,” and the
Midwest Book Review out of Wisconsin had this to say about her memoir:
“…a rare privilege to read such writing…In Search of
Kinship is to be kept, treasured, and returned to, for the glints and
patina reflected in it are soul-enlightening.”
Lambert, who has facilitated
over 100 workshops, retreats, and readings throughout the U.S. and Canada, was
one of 15 women writers selected from around the nation to contribute to
Writing Down the River: Into the Heart of the Grand Canyon. Click here to learn more about Page

Deep within the boundaries of Canyonlands National
Park, Cataract Canyon is a perfect balance between serene floating,
incredible hiking, and fast-moving rapids. 300 million years of rock
history, abstract sculpted sandstone spires, and ancient Anasazi petroglyphs
and granaries. Rapids are run days 4 & 5, and during high water (May
through June) provide the biggest and most challenging whitewater in the U.S.
In July the river drops and the rapids become more moderate, yet still
exciting.
The oarboat is the traditional
raft on the Colorado River. This type of craft places you ‘up close and
personal’ with the river and nature. It’s a pure wilderness river
trip combining all the comforts needed to enjoy the outdoors. Carrying four to
five guests, the small 18-foot rafts put you right in the heart of the
whitewater action. Only the quiet dipping of the oars in the water breaks the
impressive natural quiet of the smooth water sections. (We motor across Lake
Powell the last day.)
Return to Moab by scenic air
flight (suggested option) offering a bird’s eye view of the canyon
