WoodsWoman is an immersive overnight experience designed to deepen your confidence in the wild while fostering connection with the land, yourself, and a supportive community of women. Over the course of the weekend, you’ll engage in hands-on survival skills like firecraft, shelter-building, knife skills, and foraging, while also weaving in intentional ceremony, dreamwork, and full moon rituals.

Expect a balance of structured learning and spacious time to settle into the rhythm of nature, with moments for quiet reflection, storytelling, and connection around the fire. You’ll set up your own camp, bring your own breakfasts and lunches, and share a group dinner under the stars. Whether you're stepping into the backcountry for the first time or seeking to refine your skills, this weekend will offer both challenge and renewal in an inclusive, supportive space.
