Women’s Empowerment Adventure!
Lead by women, for women
About the event
Held over a weekend, the event is structured around the use of the outdoors for personal and social growth. You will face physical and mental challenges, aimed to foster specific internal shifts. Cultivate lasting friendships with other women through bonding and teamwork. This is not a vacation, it’s a Homecoming! You aren’t going into the canyons to leave your life behind – you’re going there to bring your power back to the surface. After completing our course, you will have gained a new specific set of skills and renewed courage and strength to facedown your personal Dragons (those daunting life challenges) and fearlessly Slay them!
Join a collective of women redefining what it means to be “wild.” No experience required -just the will to show up.
Stop finding yourself. Start building yourself.
Here are 4 key take-aways from “Slaying your personal Dragon” with us:
1-Risk Taking & Self-Efficacy
Mastery through challenge
Concept: When you successfully navigates the technical skills of canyoneering-it creates a “transference” effect.
Result: The internal realization that “if I can rappel over this cliff, I can navigate a career pivot or a difficult life transition.” this builds self-efficacy, or beliving in one’s ability to succeed in specific situations.
2-Psychological Safety & Shared Experince
Adventure spaces have historically been male-dominated, which can create an enviroment of “performative strength.”
Purpose: This women-only, women-centered adventure lowers the barrier of “fear of judgment” from men.
The Shift: Fostering an environmet where vulnerability is seen as a strength rather than as a weakness. Authentic connections are made and the dismantling of the “perfectionist” myth.
3-Redefining Physicality
Many women are socialized to view their bodies primarily throught the lens of aesthetics.
Reclaiming the Body: Our adventure program shifts the focus from how a body looks to what a body can do.
Functional Strength: Our focus remains on endurance, resilience, and physical agency.
4-Emotional Resilience (The “Grit” Factor)
Nature is indifferent to plans. Weather changes, gear complications, and natural obsticles become impossibly challenging.
Purpose: Our program teaches you to manage “controlled discomfort.”
The Takeaway: Learning to maintain composure and problem-solve when things aren’t going perfectly is a cornerstone of emotional intelligence and long-term resilience.
When you Slay the Dragon, you have joined an elite Sisterhood of Courage, The Dragon Slayer.
