All-Women's New Year Backpacking: VA

Service Description

What is this experience all about? -----> Join a group of adventurous women looking to ring in the new year in a different way - to help set you up for a year full of adventure, confidence, mindfulness and peace that radiates from within. As I always tell people, each backpacking trip is much more than just a "physical expereince." It's a chance to disconnect with the hustle and bustle of our lives back home and connect deeply with ourselves through the magic of nature and peacefulness of the forest. What to Expect: Outside of the backpacking and hiking, this experience will allow for time for intentional reflection, space to connect with other women, a healing circle to help us let go of anything we would like to "leaf" behind in 2024. We will move through at least 2 different yoga flows to help our bodies heal after challenging them throughout the day. Time & writing prompts for journaling about what we would like to pack into our 'metaphorical backpacks' for 2025 will be provided. What you will get: -->A guided 4 day/3 night backpacking trip in the in Virginia mountains. ->One pre-trip meeting to go over 'How to Pack a backpack,' connect with other women on the trip, and a Q&A session with professional backpacking guide and outdoor educator, Patty Haltom (trip leader!) -->6 sets of Handwarmers/Footwarmers to use when you chose! (yes, chances are it will be cold out there, but you're a bad ass wilderness woman and that's why you're doing this trip! :) ->1 16oz mini-nalgene bottle (your 'Nalgene baby') - we will boil hot water in the evening and fill for warmth! ->Lessons on how to backpack in the wilderness, how to live in the wilderness, how to treat our water, how to stay warm in the winter and more. >>All Meal Included!
