Our Wild Retreats are designed to take women beyond the familiar. Think rugged landscapes, long days on the trail, road trips through wild places, canyoneering, campfires under the stars, and the kind of shared experiences that remind us what we're capable of.

These retreats are about more than the adventure itself. They're about cultivating connection, building self-trust, embracing the unknown, and creating space for women to feel a little more untamed, alive, and at home in themselves.

We’re looking for someone who can confidently lead the outdoor experience while also holding the container for meaningful group connection. Someone who knows how to navigate the practical demands of an adventure retreat while also actively helping facilitate the magic that happens when women come together in the wild.

THE DETAILS:

• Season: Fall 2027

• Format: Contract-based, retreat-specific engagements

• Location: Varies by retreat and adventure destination

• Commitment: Travel and multi-day retreat availability, including overnight stays

• Compensation: To be discussed based on experience, scope of responsibilities, and retreat requirements

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Lead the adventure. Guide participants through outdoor experiences such as hiking, road trips, camping, canyoneering, and other nature-based adventures appropriate to the retreat location and your expertise.

• Hold the group experience. Create a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment where women feel safe to challenge themselves, connect with others, and show up as they are.

• Facilitate meaningful connection. Lead group circles, reflective conversations, connection exercises, and other retreat experiences that encourage self-discovery, personal growth, and community.

• Manage on-the-ground logistics. Help coordinate daily itineraries, transportation, trail plans, meals, gear, supplies, and transitions throughout the retreat.

• Prioritize safety and sound judgment. Assess conditions, adapt plans when needed, understand group capabilities, and make thoughtful decisions in changing outdoor environments.

• Be a steady presence. Bring calm leadership, flexibility, and a grounded energy to the unexpected moments that inevitably come with outdoor adventures.

• Represent our mission. Embody our commitment to women's connection, personal growth, embodied experiences, and the transformative power of stepping outside our comfort zones.

• Is comfortable with the realities of outdoor adventure, including changing weather, physical challenges, early mornings, and plans that don't always go as expected, and ALWAYS having a plan B.

• Connects with our philosophy of re-wilding: returning to a more instinctive, embodied, connected way of being through time in nature and shared experience.

REQUIRED:

• 1-2 years demonstrated outdoor experience and confidence in adventure or fitness-based environments.

• Ability to drive a large passenger van safely and responsibly, with an appropriate valid driver's license and driving record.
