Adventure | Nature Connection | Personal Empowerment
Big Bend National Park, here we come!
Join us on a transformational 4-day / 3-night women's hiking retreat as we explore the mountains and desert of Far West Texas. Alongside an intimate and supportive group of growth-oriented women, we'll embark on two days of exhilarating hikes through Big Bend National Park. Each day we will engage in guided self-care practices like meditation, mindful movement and sound healing, and spend our evenings reflecting, rejuvenating, dining under sunset, and stargazing under some of the darkest night skies in the lower 48-states.
With over 1 million acres of state and national park land spanning mountains, canyons, desert and river, the Big Bend Region is the ideal backdrop to deeply reconnect with nature, self and community as we cultivate our sense of adventure, personal growth and empowerment.
Our Home in Big Bend
Throughout the retreat we will have exclusive use of a beautiful and historically restored boutique hotel overlooking the Chisos Mountains and the ghost town of Terlingua, Texas, just minutes from the entrance of Big Bend National Park. Our accommodations have extraordinary views for soaking in the magic of the mountains, stars, and desert.
Lovingly designed and built in harmony with the surrounding nature, the hotel is a rustic desert oasis with intricate stone and tile work, tin roofs, handcrafted doors, cane and sotol stalk ceilings, stone fireplaces, large terraces and courtyards, fire pits and a dreamy outdoor kitchen with views. After long days of hiking, the property is equipped with all the amenities necessary so you can relax in total comfort while connecting with nature. With views in every direction, we will also get to take in amazing sunrises and sunsets each day.
Our location is walkable to all of Terlingua's Ghost Town, making it the perfect gateway for explorations during free time.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Where will we be staying?
We'll be staying in a beautiful and historically restored boutique hotel overlooking the ghost town of Terlingua, Texas. We have both shared and private accommodations with multiple bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen, and views galore from multiple patios and terraces.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes, in most cases we can! Prior to the retreat, you'll complete an intake form. In the intake form, please let us know of any dietary restrictions & allergies that we should be aware of.
What level of fitness and experience is required?
We have two days of moderately strenuous hiking in the national park. You should be comfortable hiking up to 10 miles per day with elevation gains up to 2,000 feet with your day pack. Parts of Big Bend National Park reach an elevation of 7,000+ feet. The terrain in the park is rugged and rocky in places. For those new(er) to hiking, we recommend a regular fitness training routine in the weeks leading up to the retreat. If you have any questions about your ability to participate, please reach out to Coleen.
How do I get there?
West Texas is remote, and getting there is half the fun! You are responsible for getting yourself to and from Terlingua, TX. We'll meet at 4:00PM on Thursday at our accommodations. Terlingua is ~8 hours by car from Austin and ~5 hours from El Paso. There are various towns and beautiful scenery to take in along the drive. If you plan on flying, El Paso International Airport is the closest major airport.
Can pets come?
Although we love pets, they won't be able to attend this one! Please leave your furry friends at home :)
What should I pack?
Who is the retreat for?
In the weeks leading up to the retreat, we will send an email with gear you'll need and packing information. The weather in early March typically sees highs in the 70's-80's and lows in the 40's-50's. Pack for 5+ miles of hiking per day and casual mountain living!
What time does the retreat start and end? Can I come for only part of it?
We will meet in Terlingua at 4:00PM Thursday to settle in, have our opening circle and enjoy a beautiful sunset dinner together. The retreat will wrap up at 10:00AM on Sunday. This weekend is an immersive experience and we ask that all guests attend the entire experience; we do not allow partial visits.
If you have an adventurous spirit and a love for hiking and exploring... this retreat is for you! We welcome women of all walks of life and all stages of life. While we require everyone to be 21+, we have no other age restrictions. Core to our ethos is that women have a tremendous amount to learn from one another, and sharing knowledge across life stages and experiences is integral to our collective growth.This diversity in background is what makes our groups so special.
