Greetings
I have created this blog with ambitious intentions of starting a Womens Wilderness Community. This idea has been culminating in my heart and in my mind for some time now and it is time that I put my dreams into action. To my pleasant surprise this idea has been gaining momentum, providing fuel for my creative fire.
Let me share what I have been envisioning...
I have felt a strong pull to create a Sacred Space where women can come together with a passion for Wilderness and a passion for the Wild. Through my own personal experience I have seen the tremendous empowerment that is created when women come together to share, to teach, and to journey together.I have created this blog with ambitious intentions of starting a Womens Wilderness Community.

Let me share what I have been envisioning...
I want to intentionally create more Space for this process to thrive freely.
As far back as I can recall there has always been a powerful gravitation in my being towards Nature, as I'm sure most of you can relate to if you have stumbled across this blog. Re-connecting with Nature has become so incredibly valuable in my life. The Earth is a wise teacher.
As I sit here vivid memories flood my senses, the smell of pitch on my fingers after climbing the heights of an evergreen, the wind leaning on the whisker wheat golden husks bowing westward, falling asleep in my tent with the sound of a million crickets lulling me to sleep...a sense of ancient knowing and being.
Let's collectively create opportunity for adventure.
Anyone with me?
I envision a community of women collectively creating opportunities where we can gather, journey, teach, learn and embark on adventure. Further, a space to share skills and experiences and for shits sake have a good time doing it!
There are numerous paths we could take with this group, the possibilities are endless. Some ideas that have been floating around my mind are:
- Multi-day hiking/back country camping
- Exploring Manitoba Flora and Fauna
- Snow shoeing
- Holistic healing with indigenous plants
- Nature based meditation
- Yoga
- Nature photography
- Environmental stewardship/activism
- Birding
- Wild berry picking/canning
- Storytelling
- Gear swap
- Canoeing
- Mountain Biking
- Attending workshops such as wilderness survival skills and plant identification
Lets share our wisdom and ideas, every woman has something to offer!
This group is open to women from every walk of life.
