CROOKED RIVER OUTFITTERS
Wild Women: A Yoga and Empowerment Retreat
January 10-12, 2025
Our Wild Women Yoga and Empowerment Retreat within Cuyahoga Valley National Park offers the perfect escape from the daily grind. Here, you can reconnect with nature, discover your sense of place in the world, and cultivate a wild and wise heart.
This retreat will help you reorganize and realign your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs to create a more harmonious and fulfilling inner self. This could involve letting go of negative experiences or beliefs, resolving internal conflicts, and reclaiming a greater sense of purpose or connection with self or higher power.
Space is limited to 12 women to ensure an intimate and personalized experience for each woman who attends.
This retreat is for you if......
You Need a Break from Daily Stress So You Can Recharge
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and disconnected from yourself and your loved ones. The demands of work, family, and societal obligations can leave you feeling drained and out of balance. Your nervous system feels fried or you’re just plain burnt out.
You Seek Time in Nature and a Bit of Adventure
When life is busy, it’s easy to forget how amazing you can feel after just a few hours outside breathing fresh forest air. During our retreat, time has a way of slowing down, stress slips away, and your nervous system is soothed by the sounds of the rushing creek and crisp clean air.
You Value Community and Connection With Like-Minded Women
The fast friendships, the connection, the stories, the vulnerability, the support, the tears, the laughter, and the healing that happens when you bring women together and create a welcoming space to show up just as they are.
You Want to Deepen Your Practice Both On and Off of Your Mat
You’re ready to deepen your practice and embody the gifts of a fulfilling yoga practice. You know and love that post-yoga feeling and you want more of it. Or perhaps you’ve fallen out of a regular practice. You’ll have ample individual attention and plenty of time to embody, ask questions, and reflect. Your yoga practice has so much potential to serve your wellbeing both on and off of your mat.
You Haven't Been Making Yourself a Priority
You are capable of living a life that feeds your soul, you’re already on the path. From a lens of self-love, you’ll be invited to let down your guard, your masks, and your many responsibilities, and step into your aliveness. It’s from this place of wholeness and self-love that you are able to show up as the best version of yourself full of vibrant energy, abundant joy, and clarity about what’s ahead.

“What an amazing retreat! I really needed self care after having my twin girls 3 1/2 months earlier. Autumn and Toni do a beautiful job holding space for what you need. Thank you ladies for this! The tipi village is a wonderful space and has delicious food”

This was the absolute perfect first time yoga retreat. All levels of practice were welcomed, the instructors were amazing and the food was delicious! I learned so much about myself and my personal yoga practice. The layout of activities were thoughtfully designed as well. I would highly recommend!
