September: The Fall PNW Hiking Retreat
September 26-29, 2024
Have you seen western Washington in the fall? It’s a beautiful experience that’s not to be missed. Just within a 2 hour drive from Seattle are majestic, scenic mountains and you’ll enjoy “views for days.” That’s why we chose a location that’s easy to get to, safe to enjoy, and so close to Seattle for our second WA state retreat.
Have you ever hiked with views of snowcapped mountains in the background? Or relaxed with a group of friends around a campfire on a cozy fall night? If being in the outdoors isn’t normally your thing, that’s OK! We welcome women of all athletic abilities & backgrounds and promise that you will have a great time, no matter what.
So come on and join in the fun of the Fall 2024 PNW Hiking women’s retreat! Get cozy at a comfortable & upscale lodge for a long weekend of soul-stirring workshops, yoga and meditation, cozy fall meals, sipping coffee & tea outdoors, fun day hikes, and lots of deep belly laughs. As a reminder, the retreat location will be within a 2 hour drive of Seattle, and transportation from the airport will be available.
