A Love Story - A Backpacking Retreat

Glacier National Park, MT

July 21- 27, 2024

Welcome, beloved. To our wild women + adventurers...

We present to you –– A love story.

We are combining our retreat model with a little adventurous twist, spending most of our time deep in the mountains of Glacier National Park. It’s going to be a full expression of empowerment + play + wisdom + a community of amazing women + adventure –– trust us, we all need more of this in our lives.

This retreat has been a long time coming, and a love story that will never end. A love story with the wilderness, with women we love, and with an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

This one is for the adventurers + wanderers + the women seeking deep smile lines, belly laughs, and a life well-lived. This is for the women who know in their bones that time in the wilderness with a group of badass women is one of the most powerful experiences you will ever have. Whether you are a seasoned backcountry wild woman or new to it all, this is the perfect retreat + mountain trip + backpacking route for all. Think starry night skies, alpine lake swimming + skinny dips (don’t tell anyone ;)), epic sunrises and sunsets, fresh mountain air, wildlife sightings, some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, and quality time with a group of rad women.

Somewhere within each of us we hunger for this kind of love story –– one that includes moments + experiences + connections + aliveness. A story that includes a string of days made up by the most magical moments — the moments that explode our hearts into tiny pieces, like fairy dust and fireworks. And a story woven with deep + meaningful connections that will last a lifetime.

Led by Tracy Rulaine Roberts, we also have handpicked one of our favorite routes in GNP and one of our favorite guides + companies to lead the backpacking portion of this retreat.

We are so excited to adventure with you! We assure you, this is an average retreat.

Community

We are asking you to join us in a collective shift.

When we surround ourselves with other women who are connecting with their sacred gifts/callings, and honoring their deepest truth, it is safer to peel back the layers and shed the stories that are no longer serving our wise, wild and whole selves.

Each of us holds so much medicine in our cells, our stories, and in our presence. Through this container we are calling in women to reclaim the wise woman and medicine woman in us all. To unlock sacred truths that are deep within our cells. To learn. To heal. To support and celebrate other women. To honor, capture, and embody what it really means to be alive. And to join in sacred community as we navigate the complexities of being human and to heal individual, collective, and generational wounding. One thing we know for sure is that sacred community is the medicine.

The land

Glacier National Park, Montana

“Crown of the Continent” is an apt nickname for this pair of parks, which feature some of the most impressive mountain scenery in North America. Joined together since 1932 as the world’s first international peace park, Glacier National Park in Montana and Waterton Lake National Park in Alberta offer a contiguous high-country wonderland of rock, ice, water, and wood.

Glacier, a beloved park in northwestern Montana, takes its name from the many glaciers and glacial forces that shaped its rugged topography over two million years. While the park is still home to more than a dozen glaciers, even more impressive are the massive U-shaped valleys and hulking granite peaks carved by long-ago ice flows.
