  • Step beyond the traditional hike and experience the outdoors in a deeper, more meaningful way. Women in the Wilderness: Wander & Wonder is a four-part seasonal outdoor series designed for those who want to slow down, reconnect with nature, and discover new ways to experience the landscapes around us.

    Each month offers a unique outdoor experience inspired by the changing seasons. Through guided walks, sensory exploration, reflection, and hands-on learning, participants will explore nature from different perspectives while building confidence and connection outdoors.

    Seasonal adventures may include a mindful forest bathing experience, a destination hike with time for music, reflection, or quiet connection in the woods, an introduction to outdoor skills such as map awareness and navigation, and a winter woods exploration focused on finding beauty and comfort in the quieter season.

    This series is designed for adults who enjoy being outdoors, learning new skills, meeting like-minded people, and experiencing nature beyond simply reaching the destination. Come prepared to wander, wonder, and discover something new each season.

    • Outdoor experiences range from gentle to moderate walking on uneven terrain.

    • Frequent stops for observation, reflection, and connection

    • No prior experience required

    • No dogs allowed on class outings

  • By the end of this series, participants will:

    • Increase confidence participating in outdoor experiences across changing seasons and conditions.
