Wild Institute trips pull it all together—the beauty and peace of a Wild place, the camaraderie with other Wild souls; and the deepening and delighting in your own Wild spirit.

Now is that moment. Given all the upheaval in the world, it is a good year to carve out some time for Wild places with Wild companions. The natural world calls us to be focused on the present, soaking up the beauty, physicality, and stillness that is unique to wilderness travel.

While my speaking schedule limits my ability to offer multiple trips, each year I make sure to preserve time to guide a few special trips.  Since 1983, I’ve had the great privilege of guiding women into the wilderness, getting to witness the transformations that take place:  the belly laughs and the fun; the deep conversations and quiet recognition as women come home to themselves;  the peace, sense of belonging and fun; and the reverence, reciprocity, and beauty—inside and out—that unfolds when we travel in Wild places.

Come on your own, bring a companion, or plan a custom trip.  I look forward to traveling with you.
