Overview

Let the natural world inspire you.
Retreats are held in spectacular places that immerse you in inspirational landscapes and natural beauty, including the Colorado Rockies, Napa Valley, Hawaii, Vermont and Italy. Expert instruction, inspirational talks, clean, comfortable accommodations, take-home materials and healthy delicious meals are always included.

Take time for yourself.
With Women’s Quest, you’ll visit a place where true health means more than just a strong body; it means fine-tuning the relationship between your body, mind and spirit to achieve fitness from the inside out. Many at Women’s Quest have experienced a few magical, poignant moments that made the once impossible something they triumphantly achieved. These occasions encourage one to continue to step beyond present limitations and to discover new powers within themselves. This is the spirit of Women’s Quest, where all activities are supportive, friendly, non-competitive and appropriate for all abilities.

The female staff will help you create an amazing experience that is uniquely yours.
Motivated to share the confidence and courage to embrace life that she developed through physical activity, former world champion triathlete Colleen Cannon founded Women’s Quest in 1992. A caring and enthusiastic leader, Colleen brings her team of professional female instructors, athletes, personal coaches, yoga, massage and nutritional experts to support your experience. You will receive individual guidance, safe supervision and personal attention to your needs and interests.

Body
Playfully explore at your own pace and level of challenge – whether that means a long hike through wildflowers, a speedy bike ride down a trail or quiet time to sit on a rock and stretch. Each adventure is different. Women’s Quest will support you every step of the way with a program that includes expert training tips, skills and drills, nutrition and playing with a purpose to rekindle the kid inside you. Physical activities may include:

• Hiking
• Trail Running
• Horseback Riding
• Mountain Biking
• Road Cycling
• Cross Country Skiing
• Skate Skiing
• Snowshoeing
• Swimming
• Surfing
• Yoga
• Dance

Mind
At Women’s Quest, the power of thought is cultivated as an adventure in itself. Evoking the courage to play and dream wildly, Women’s Quest will help you identify your heart’s desire and unleash the courage to live your dreams; explore the power of imagination through art, journaling and other creative endeavors; provide you with the tools to identify life-long obstacles and break through negative barriers so you can develop confidence, hone your intuition and ignite your individual vision. Inspirational talks, heartfelt discussions, visualizations and specialized activities cultivate a clear mind and an open heart.

Spirit
Spirit is the foundation of a body’s health, but one often loses sight of what is most important. Being truly present in any moment can help you slow down, connect with the little things that bring joy (Women’s Quest calls them ‘soul sparks’) and discover things you might like to change or adjust so you can experience more of them. Women’s Quest will help you enliven your spirit and create a daily practice to connect with your soul spark, integrating the “ahh” of life into everything you do. They’ll help you access your spirit though mindful activities such as yoga and meditation, unleash your inner joy though movement and dance and cultivate a sense of appreciation by soaking in the breathtaking surroundings of each retreat, learning how connecting with nature can help you reconnect with yourself.
