About the event
Join us for 3 days of rafting lodge to lodge on the Rogue River. A 4-hr drive from Portland and a 6.5-hr drive from the Bay Area, immerse yourself in the beauty of this stunning, wild, and scenic river. During our 3-day and 2-night rafting excursion, we will connect with our innate resilience by tuning into the wisdom of our natural world and our place in it. The days will be spent navigating 50+ miles of river, and in the evenings, we will come together for reflection and discussion in the comforts of the Rogue's historic riverside lodges. Explore the wilderness, learn about indigenous and geologic history, and strengthen tools for yourself and your career.
