A Journey of Discovery is for the individual who is longing for deeper meaning and purpose in their life. Not only
are they searching for an extraordinary travel experience but also a journey that speaks to their spirit and touches
their soul. They are ready to find answers to their own "inner questions" and also open to learning and new
experience. Whether it be with a Shaman in Peru, gazing into the eye of a dolphin, or a short group meditation at
an ancient sacred site in Greece. All of these life-changing experiences made available to them within the context
of personalized small group, specialty travel that takes you off the beaten path.
Satisfy your hunger for the beauty of nature and companionship of
creatures great and small. Travel to ancient sacred sites where you
can still feel an "energetic aura", the wisdom of the ancients surrounding you.
Spend time with local people and learn about different cultures and beliefs,
and don't forget some fabulous shopping at local markets and boutique shops!
Combine this with fun, laughter, great food, wonderful accommodations, and
exciting new friendships with other creative, like-minded kindred spirit's and you have the trip of a lifetime!

MONTANA Big Sky Country - "Soul Quest" Retreat July 7 - 14, 2012
with Gayle Lawrence - Journeys of Discovery and "Soul Specialist" author, Janet Conner
The Blacktail Ranch, Wolf Creek Montana
Montana is still thought of as nature at it's wildest and most awe inspiring, snow capped mountains in the
distance, rolling meadows filled with wild flowers, blue sky so big you get lost in it. Stand in sacred stillness
and feel the sun on your face and listen to the whispers of the wind. Watch a herd of beautiful horses
grazing peacefully. Breath deeply, the air so fresh and pure it fills your senses.
On The Blacktail, the land speaks to you.....the river will tell you her stories, the huge Cottonwood trees
beckon you to read, write, meditate or just rest. The horses wait to teach you about courage, power and
finding your balance,the sweat lodge offers purification and cleansing for your Soul, the Bear Cave takes
you back into the womb of Mother Earth. At night the campfire crackles as stories are shared, usually with
laughter, sometimes with tears. You come as a seeker, filled with a longing you really can't define, yet
someplace deep inside your heart, you know you will find your answers here, on The Blacktail Ranch.
