WONDER
Transformation through being and creating
WANDER
Adventure and Exploring
Or a little bit of both
Traveling with Mastering the Art of Life
Mastering the Art of Life (MAoL) Travel programs provide the opportunities to connect with your inner self through exploring the world. Whether it is through painting, writing, or immersing yourself in nature, we can customize the activities that bring you the greatest joy. Traveling with a group of like-minded people with varied interests, each one of you you will have time to breathe and connect with your own inner guidance.
Wonder and Wander Retreats are led by Christi Corradi through Mastering the Art of Life, along with her husband and adult children. Christi provides the Wonder. Her husband and adult son provide the Wander aspect.
Traveling allows you to move away from the distractions of daily life, and to see through new eyes as you take in your new surroundings. It can be a catalyst to going within and expand your perspective.
Traveling with MAoL can provide this catalyst through various activities for slowing down: painting, writing, thinking, and sharing deep conversation. These activities, done mindfully, give you an opening into your own spirit.
We will be guided to places that are off the main path so we can avoid crowds and see the sights from a different perspective.
WONDER
When you remove yourself from your common environment, and especially your routines, inspiration follows.
This is a slow paced trip, not just go, go, go. That is why not every moment is filled and we spend time at different locations, and choose to sometimes hike, write, or paint.
Painting slows us down and allows us to immerse into a very deep part of us and the nature around us. And then add the component of the awe of nature. For those interested in painting, there will be help from Christi and occasionally from a local Kanab painter.
WANDER
When you immerse yourself in nature, it's more than a physical experience of a hike; it can be a deepening spiritual experience. Wander the towering majestic cliffs made of red Navajo sandstone, through the robust range of over 900 different plants, or stick your toes in the cool waters along the way.
Moderate to intense hiking opportunities. Take one of the many amazing local hikes through the red rocks surrounding Kanab. Kanab is surrounded by a variety of western geologic scenery ranging from coral pink cliffs and sand dunes, volcanic craters and lava flows to deep canyons, majestic mountains and plains.
Wandering off the beaten path in some of the most beautiful environs can slow you down and touch that deep, inner part of yourself.
Wonder and Wander activities are interchangeable. The itinerary shows the type of each event and its availability level.

A message from Christi Corradi, travel director, through Mastering the Art of Life
I invite you to experience what I have discovered is the true meaning of The Sweet Life.
This trip to the southern tip of Utah is the gateway to the National Parks.
Included Day Trips: Zion, Slot Canyon and other wilderness destinations in the Kanab area.
Optional Day Trips to Bryce Canyon and North Rim of the Grand Canyon for an additional fee.
In a world myriad as ours, the gaze is a singular act:
to look at something is to fill your whole life with it, if only briefly. -- Ocean Vuong
Kanab: A Stunningly Magical Locale
The town of Kanab is surrounded by a variety of western geologic scenery ranging from coral pink cliffs and sand dunes, volcanic craters and lava flows that created deep canyons, majestic mountains, and plains. The natural beauty and consistently good weather of the Kanab, Utah area has made it a popular place to visit. Kanab is a scenic tourist town with a friendly western spirit hosting the “Old West” quality of life. It is also the inspiration for the scenery in the animation movie “Cars”
Come discover the Sweet Life within yourself!
The best weather in this area is generally October, but as we know, weather varies.
