Nature Connection
RETREATS + EVENTS
“
There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.

Our lives are hyperconnected.
The entire world is at our fingertips through a few taps on a smartphone, while a flurry of work and family obligations keeps us so busy we can barely keep up. Within the four walls of home, we have everything we need.
Or so we think.
When was the last time you…
Simply sat and breathed?
Let your bare feet walk the earth?
Laughed as rain fell on your face?
Our great outdoors is wild, untamed, and sometimes uncomfortable.
But it offers something we can’t get through our day-to-day, cushy lifestyles: true connection to the natural forces that sustain us, as well as connection to our own wild, beautiful selves.
WOMEN’S RETREATS
In partnership with Lindsey Baldwin, owner, therapist, and coach at Nature Nurture Support Services, we host a series of Nature Connection Retreats. Lindsey and I feel particularly called to create space for women seeking nature connection and an outlet for community in a safe, welcoming place. Even if you don’t consider yourself an “outdoorsy” person, we pride ourselves on helping you connect to nature in your own way.
Through journaling, forest bathing, meditation, and intentional connection with the natural world around us, our workshops help women reframe and improve their relationships with nature, their communities, and themselves.

WILD WOMEN HIKES
We are so fortunate to live mere hours away from some of the country’s most beautiful mountains and untamed wilderness. Basking in the glory of these giants is a momentous feat that inspires confidence and resilience in anyone who climbs them. Even in this day and age, there remains bias on the trails and women often don’t feel comfortable hiking on their own.
Through guided treks in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, we hold your hands both figuratively and literally every step of the way. We take care of planning, transportation, and reservations at Appalachian Mountain Club Huts.
We help you pack, providing gear recommendations to purchase your own or provide gear for you. All you need to do is move one leg in front of the other up the mountain. We sleep in the mountains, cared for and fed by the amazing hut "croos" of the AMC huts, and come down the next morning with a renewed sense of self and an incredible accomplishment under our belts.
