14 Hours of Workshops

Suzanne Giesemann

Welcome to Wide Open!

Dear Friends,

We’re going back to Alaska! Woohoo!

Ever since Ty and I experienced Alaska on our first Awakened Way cruise, I have hoped we would have the opportunity to return. There is something about being surrounded by those immense mountains, glaciers, forests, wildlife, and seemingly endless expanses of water that puts our human lives into perspective.

We’re calling the theme of this cruise WIDE OPEN because that is exactly what we’ll practice: widening our perspective beyond the limited human view until the soul’s perspective is included too.

Many of us have spent years learning that we are souls, that consciousness continues beyond the body, that our loved ones who have passed are still present, and that we are never separate from Spirit.

During our 14 hours together, we are going to explore what happens when we recognize the stories, beliefs, expectations, “shoulds,” and automatic reactions that get layered over reality—and discover what changes when we widen beyond those overlays into the peace, wisdom, and greater perspective that are already here.

We’ll meditate, experiment, laugh, connect, explore the Greater Reality, communicate with Spirit, share some extraordinary NOE—No Other Explanation—moments, and hear directly from Sanaya!  Whether this is your first event with me or we have journeyed together before, I promise you this: the material will be fresh!  My connection with Spirit continues to evolve, and Sanaya certainly never seems to run out of ways to help us see things differently!

So, picture yourself surrounded by the magnificent Alaskan wilderness with a ship full of like-hearted souls, new friends, old friends, and simply soak up the energy of this Awakened Way community at Sea.  And remember that with the gatherings planned for us to get together, there is fun to be had along the way!

If you get a great big YES, Ty and I will be delighted to welcome you aboard!  See you in Alaska!
 

With love and blessings,

Suzanne

Ports of Call and
Cruising Highlights

Click on the "Explore More" tab of the ports below for a full description.

Seattle

Seattle, Washington – Bounded by the Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington to the east, and surrounded by forests and mountains, Seattle, Washington boasts a stunning location. Visitors are spoiled with a choice of things to do in Seattle, with iconic attractions like the waterfront, Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and Pike Place Market all easily accessible.

Juneau

Juneau, Alaska – Juneau, Alaska may well be the most remote, most beautiful, and strangest state capital in the United States. Surrounded by water, forest and mountain sights, visitors seeking things to do in Juneau indoors and outdoors can hike a glacier, eat fresh-caught fish on a seaside patio and tour a grand capitol building all in one day. The city itself is pleasant, but the real highlight of a visit to Juneau is tracking down some wildlife. You can hike up Mount Roberts to chance upon wild deer and bald eagles.

Downtown Juneau

Glacier Bay

Scenic Cruising Glacier Bay – With the serene majesty of snow-flecked and forested mountains defining its shores, Glacier Bay National Park offers some of the most dramatic scenery in the world. Keep your binoculars and camera on hand as you cruise Glacier Bay to the mile wide Margerie Glacier, where you may have a chance to witness ice calving. Wildlife abounds in Glacier Bay, so stay ready—you never know when you will see the fluke of a humpback rise out of the water or spot a lone brown bear wandering a wind-swept beach.

Icy Strait Point

Icy Strait Point, Alaska - If it's tranquility and nature you seek, Icy Strait Point is your destination. Hosting only "one ship at a time", Icy Strait Point provides guests with rich wildlife tours and authentic native Alaskan Tlingit culture. Located near Glacier Bay and the historic native settlement of Hoonah, Icy Strait Point is situated in an Old Growth Spruce & Hemlock Rainforest. The area is home to humpback whales, orca, Dall's porpoises, seals, sea otters, brown (grizzly) bear, halibut, and all five species of Pacific salmon. On many days, multitudes of bald eagles can be seen.

Icy Strait Point, Alaska

Sitka

Sitka, Alaska – For 100 years, this charming port city reigned as the capital of Russian America.  Today the influence of the Czars is still very present in the majestic St. Michael’s Cathedral with its unmistakable onion dome, the Russian Bishop’s House and the Sheldon Jackson Museum, housing prized Russian and Indian artifacts.  Sitka also boasts an abundance of epic natural scenery and wildlife.

Sitka, Alaska

Ketchikan

Ketchikan, Alaska – Ketchikan is Alaska's first major landfall as you enter the picturesque fjords of the Inside Passage, where the town clings to the banks of the Tongass Narrows, flanked by green forests.  Ketchikan has long been a hub of salmon-fishing where visitors savor fresh seafood at local restaurants. It is also one of the best spots along the Inside Passage to explore the rich cultural sights of Native Alaskan nations like the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian. 

Ketchikan, Alaska

Victoria

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada – Of all the cities in Canada, Victoria has the most British vibe. Extensive galleries are devoted to the history of the First People at the Royal British Columbia Museum, one of Victoria's top tourist attractions. Whale-watching cruises and sightseeing float planes take off and return from their excursions here and government buildings, museums, the Visitor Centre, and the grand Fairmont Empress provide a dignified welcome. Take time for a jaunt to the famous Butchart Gardens, a truly stunning show garden developed on the site of a depleted quarry.

Wide Open Workshop

Against the magnificent backdrop of Alaska’s mountains, glaciers, forests, wildlife, and vast open waters, Suzanne will guide you through 14 hours of brand-new teaching, experiential exercises, meditations, interaction, Spirit communication, and live channeling with her guides, Sanaya.

This year, we’re going to explore a question that comes up again and again in real life:

How do we stay aware of the Greater Reality when our very human selves get triggered, hurt, frightened, reactive, or overwhelmed?

You’ll discover how thoughts, beliefs, conditioning, expectations, old “shoulds,” and nervous-system reactions can temporarily narrow your view—and how quickly your experience can change when you recognize what is happening and widen your awareness.

You’ll also explore direct connection with Spirit, synchronicity, intuition, signs, healing, relationships, and what happens when we allow Love—not fear or old conditioning—to guide what comes next!
