What other HERIZEN™ Sailing for Women Grads have to say:

This was a magical, amazing, sailing voyage. Veni, Vidi, Navigati! It was so incredible to watch 6 women come together and learn to sail under such a safe, patient and enthusiastic direction. We all learned so much about sailing and cruising. All of the aspects of cruising like going through customs to sail from the BVI to the US Virgins, the protocol of mooring and sail trimming were included in the program. The Yoga and Chi Gung in the morning was an unexpected gift. Each day I watched as we all learned more, stretched ourselves, deepened and, opened. The improvement to my health was profound. The personal growth was also profound. One would expect that 7 people living in such close quarters would not have an easy time of connection, but it was such a bonding experience. Such a renewal of trust both with ourselves and each other. I am so grateful for this experience. Shalom! Clare, Canada
