Fall Wild Women's Weekend

“I originally signed up for the Women’s Wilderness Weekend for skill development and knowledge. I gained much more than that in the community development, embracing such different women with like-minded hearts and needs. Ultimately, a lot of healing took place for me at WAS, and I am forever grateful. “ – Kate Wilson “ Wonderful program with incredibly wise and humble teachers. The women leaders modeled healthy group settings and a true appreciation and connection with their topics. ” – Laura, Teacher and Parent Join us for a women’s deep nature connection weekend! We refer to “women” in as many ways as they want to define themselves. Individuals who identify as trans, gender-neutral, or non-binary are welcome to attend. Learn some of the core routines of a nature connection practice. Share stories around a fire. Enjoy wandering the land, foraging plants, playing games, and deepening your awareness of the natural world – all in the company of incredible teachers and women with similar interests. Wild Women’s Weekend is for experienced outdoorspeople and first-time woodswomen alike. Wild Women’s Weekend has a Spring and a Fall session. Each session is different and they are designed to complement one another. This hands-on weekend will cover a variety of topics and is informed by the seasons and the nature-based passions of the instructors teaching. Here are some topics likely covered: Connecting with wild plants while learning their uses as food or medicine Learning to safely use an axe, hatchet, and knife to make fires at home or in the woods Walking the land using our sensory-rich core routines of a nature connection practice Rediscovering your sense of play and laughter by moving your body in ways you haven’t since you were a kid!
