Rooted and Remote
Porcupine Mountains - September 10-12th, 2026
Women's Backpacking Retreat
Porcupine Mountains, Upper Peninsula Michigan
3 days. 2 nights. Infinite stillness.
​​​​​
Step away from the digital hum and into the old-growth forests of "The Porkies." Rooted & Remote is an intentional backcountry experience designed for women who seek the medicine of the wilderness and the power of a quiet mind. This isn’t just a backpacking trip; it’s a moving meditation. While we will traverse the rugged ridges and hemlock-shaded trails of the Upper Peninsula, our primary destination is internal. This retreat swaps the physical yoga mat for the forest floor, focusing on:
​
- Deep Reflection: Guided sessions to help you process, release, and realign.
- Mindful Presence: Cultivating a "wilder mind" through hiking and forest bathing.
- Off-the-Grid Connection: Reconnecting with the elements, and one another, under the vast Northwoods sky.
​
Leave the mat behind and find your flow in the rhythm of the trail. Whether you are soaking your feet in the pristine river or sitting by a backcountry fire, you’ll find that when you lose the signal, you finally find the connection.
​
Join us for the inaugural summer session of Rooted & Remote. Space is limited to preserve the quiet.
Moderate trail experience recommended; a willingness to carry your own gear and wonder is required.
