Join us for an unforgettable weekend of Winter Wellness in Grand Marais, Minnesota! Experience cozy accommodations, complete with snowshoeing gear and expert guidance, a rejuvenating Nordic spa experience, and the support of a certified mind-body wellness coach throughout the weekend.

We’re thrilled to welcome Amy Carrier, a certified Mind-Body Wellness Practitioner. Utilizing techniques such as life coaching, guided meditation, hypnotherapy, yoga, and sound therapy, Amy will help you cultivate a more balanced life. As an outdoor educator, she leads mindfulness adventures in the stunning St. Croix River Valley, offering transformative experiences through hikes, yoga sessions, and forest bathing. Join us for a fantastic weekend adventure! Throughout our weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a variety of wellness activities that Amy offers, including Gentle & Restorative Yoga, a Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Bath, Guided Meditation, Forest Bathing, and Nature Journaling. Be sure to bring a journal and a yoga mat to make the most of this enriching experience!

On Friday evening, we’ll arrive at our cozy lodging accommodations, giving you time to unpack and settle in. Once you’re refreshed, we’ll make our way to Voyager Brewing Company, where you can enjoy delicious food and drinks. This is a great opportunity to relax, unwind, and get to know your fellow adventurers before our exciting weekend ahead!

Rise and shine! Saturday morning we’ll start our adventure by venturing off the beaten path. There’s no better way to fully immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of Northern Minnesota’s forests than by exploring the wilderness. Join us for an interpretive hike through the serene woods of Cook County, where you’ll stroll among snow-laden trees, trace the tracks of foxes, and we will close out our time with a forest bathing meditation session and journaling session. 

On Saturday evening, we’ll continue our journey at Sisu & Loyly, a serene lakeside Nordic spa. Enjoy a refreshing cycle of heating and cooling rounds in your own private sauna, all while taking in breathtaking views of Lake Superior and Artists Point. You’re welcome to relax by the lakeside bonfire or in the cozy indoor lounge. Towels, bathrobes, sandals, and water bottles are provided for your convenience, along with complimentary tea, coffee, and water. Access to restrooms, showers, and changing areas is also included. Yes, we plunged into freezing cold Lake Superior last year! Brrrr!

It’s always a good idea to book your flight after joining the facebook group! That way you are able to communicate with others attending the trip to book your flights in sync and split rental car or uber costs! Plan to arrive anytime after 4 P.M. , on Friday evening and depart in the morning on Sunday by 11 A.M.

Whether you’re joining us for a quick weekend getaway or an extended stay, we strive to choose an environment that nurtures a sense of community while providing all the comforts of home. Embrace the chance to make new friends and create lasting memories during this unique experience! Once you connect with your trip coordinator, they will share more specific details about your lodging accommodations.

Yes, we know this part might seem a bit tedious, but it’s important! We kindly ask that everyone who registers for a trip visits the FAQs and Policy page on our website. If you sign up for a trip without reviewing this information, it’s your responsibility. There’s a wealth of valuable information there that could influence your decision. Please make sure to check out all the FAQs and Policies on our website before signing up for a trip with us. Thank you!

We want to ensure that every trip with Her Wilderness is enjoyable and memorable, but we acknowledge that sometimes things don’t go as planned. Mother Nature has a significant impact on our outdoor adventures, so we encourage you to approach each trip with a positive attitude and a "go with the flow" mindset. If this feels unreasonable to you, we kindly ask that you reconsider registering for our events. Weather can be unpredictable, affecting activities like hiking, hunting, and fishing, and our top priority is always your safety. For instance, if your trip is focused on duck hunting but our guide believes a goose hunt is more feasible, we will follow their expert recommendation. If this kind of flexibility is not something you're comfortable with, we encourage you to think twice about joining us. We expect all participants to maintain a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances. Many of our trips have faced changes, cancellations, or rescheduling, yet the understanding and adaptability of the group have made all the difference that still allows for an incredible experience! We take pride in creating fun experiences, even in challenging situations. Please be aware that our trips may involve sharing accommodations with others, unpredictable weather that could impact planned activities, limited bathroom facilities for larger groups, and the possibility of not harvesting the specific animal you hoped for. These are real scenarios that can arise, and while we’ll do our best to minimize issues, they can happen. We strive to maintain a drama-free and stress-free environment. If any participant brings negativity or drama, they will be asked to leave without a refund and will not be allowed to return. Our goal is to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and valued, so we ask for your cooperation in keeping a cool, calm, and collected attitude throughout the trip. We truly appreciate each of our customers and are committed to providing the best possible experience for all participants. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to creating unforgettable memories together!  

We’re thrilled to announce a new booking and payment system aimed at enhancing your experience! Starting October 1, 2024, all trip registrations will be processed through WeTravel. Once you register, you’ll receive a confirmation email via the WeTravel platform. Your trip coordinator will then reach out with detailed information about your adventure and schedule two virtual video meetings for all trip attendees. The coordinator will share their email and other contact information with you at their discretion, so please respect their boundaries and contact them only through the provided information. A quick reminder: personal social media profiles are not the best way to reach out to your coordinator. During the virtual meetings, hosted on Google Meet, you’ll discuss important details such as packing lists, travel plans, and more. To ensure smooth communication, please register with a valid email address that you check regularly. If you have any questions or need assistance regarding the trip, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at questions@herwilderness.co. We look forward to making your experience exceptional!
