Wilderness Within

Wilderness Within’s mission is to create a holistic space to empower women

A space dedicated to:
1) empower you to move past fear and accomplish your dreams of backpacking solo;
2) move past perfectionism and into joy and alignment;
3) explore in the backcountry, connect to nature and a community of like-minded women.

Mission

In such divisive, chaotic times, taking care of ourselves, living in alignment with our values, and connecting to our commonalities with one another as humans, and as a part of a greater whole, to the earth is an act of resistance.

Spending time in nature is vital to our mental and physical well-being. As is being in community. What better way to relax and renew than to unplug and experience the awe of mother earth in the safety of a circle of like-minded women?

Backpacking Trips

Be prepared to carry the weight of a backpack with supplies (roughly 25–30 lbs.) for 5–8 miles a day at a slow to moderate pace (about 1–1.5 hrs per mile). We’ll have snack breaks, time to take pictures and take in the scenery. We’ll cover uneven terrain that’s rocky and rooty.

Guided & Supportive

Our guided trips are for women who want to unplug, break free from the daily grind, embrace the outdoors and leave feeling renewed and confident.

Testimonials

Heartfelt Stories from Those on the Journey

The team at Wilderness Within creates such a safe and supportive environment. I felt seen, heard, and cared for throughout the entire workshop. It was more than just a class—it was a journey of self-discovery.

I had never experienced Reiki before, but my session at Wilderness Within was incredible. I felt tension release from my body and a calmness settle over me. It was as if a weight I’d been carrying for years had finally lifted.

The retreat at Wilderness Within was truly transformative. I arrived feeling drained and overwhelmed, but left with a renewed sense of peace and clarity. The space, the practices, and the guidance helped me reconnect with myself in ways I never imagined.
