Woman who was lost in Colorado wilderness for 4 days while on a spiritual journey has been found alive.

A woman from Canada, aged 53, was recently discovered unharmed and alive after going missing during a spiritual journey in the San Juan Mountains. The group she was with, the Durango-based Animas Valley Institute, had instructed all participants to refrain from bringing electronic devices and to fast in order to fully connect with nature.

The search for the missing woman began on Thursday afternoon when her group reported that she had not returned from her "solo journey". This sparked a response from search and rescue teams from the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office. The woman was one of eleven campers who were on a spiritual "quest" in the backcountry of Lone Cone Peak near Norwood.

According to the sheriff's office, the group had been advised not to bring any technology with them and to fast in order to have a more meaningful experience with nature. This approach, however, led to concerns when the woman did not return on time. The organization, which offers immersive experiences in nature, describes itself as guiding individuals through the mysteries of nature and psyche.

As part of the journey, campers embarked on "solo journeys" into the wilderness on Wednesday. When the woman failed to return by Thursday afternoon, search and rescue teams were deployed. They utilized ground teams, K9 units, and aircraft to locate the missing woman. Thankfully, she was found safe on Saturday.

In a statement, Sheriff Bill Masters emphasized the importance of being prepared when venturing into the backcountry. He urged people to always bring technology for communication and to have enough supplies. He also cautioned against following extreme practices, such as fasting, without proper preparation. As he put it, "Nature does not care about your safety and will not hesitate to harm you if you are not properly prepared."

So, it is important to always prioritize safety when exploring the great outdoors. It is also wise to be mindful of the advice and guidance given by experienced professionals, but to also use common sense and proper preparation when embarking on a journey into nature.
