The Qua Yurt is just over the pass behind the skier


Something of a mission statement.....
     Answering life's challenges in our own way is what provides personal meaning for each of us. A failure to respond to those challenges leads to hopeless abandonment in the prime of life...Although meaning for each of us is unique and subject to change, it seems to flow most readily when we are striving toward some goal that we find worthy or feel is worthy of us. We can experience meaning by committing ourselves to certain goals, ideals, or values; by experiencing someone or something of value to us; by creating something; by choosing to do something for others, with other, or by ourselves that we deem worthwhile. The Ymir Yurts is a wonderful medium for providing a sense of purpose and a sense of continuous challenge, as well as a range of intensity and emotion that is difficult to experience elsewhere. It can be a rich and meaningful encounter. If we approach it on our own terms. There are few contexts where we have such close contact with other people, with nature, and with ourselves as we have at the Ymir Yurts. The Yurts offer numerous opportunities for personal growth and for stretching the limits of human potential, both physically and psychologically."
