The Women’s Rewilding Weekend rekindled a spark of sisterhood in my soul that hasn’t been free to burn since I was a child. I am an introvert by nature, but felt totally at ease in the presence of a diverse group of women sharing an experience of conscious attention to ourselves, our community, and our ancestry. Every activity was imbued with so much spirit — from weaving baskets and telling stories, to honing our focus during archery lessons and cooking together at lunchtime — that even the simplest moments in each other’s company felt sacred. Exploring the Wild Abundance campus, a serene and bountiful homestead nestled in a mountain valley, offers a lovely option for alone time. Each instructor over the weekend gave us so much knowledge and support, and we all ended the weekend feeling fulfilled, strengthened, and connected to each other. I would recommend the Women’s Rewilding Weekend to any woman looking for deeper connection to herself, her community, her heritage, her spirit, and the natural world.
