Description

Wildkind Women – REWILDING CAMP FOR WOMEN
Join Jess Caldwell Founder of Wildkind Outdoors at our beautiful mountain camp outside of Cripple Creek Colorado for a unique wilderness survival training and nature immersion for women that incorporates the foundational outdoor skills needed to enjoy wild places with more confidence. Survival training is more than just the hard skills, Jess will introduce nature awareness practices and mindfulness exercises that help increase situational awareness as well as build deep listening tools within the body that support a more cohesive relationship with intuition and clutch decision making. We are living in epic times and we are being asked to rise in conscious leadership to meet this moment. As women we innately hold sensitivities, feeling centers and creative portals that will help bridge the widening disconnect between humans and our Divine connection to all that is in the web of life. We are not just witnessing the natural world, we are nature herself. Your voice and your leadership are welcome here and this transformational weekend will inspire you to rise and shine.

 

Our private land will support your journey to living with greater ALIVENESS. We will sleep under the stars and walk through the remote landscape with wonder. We are all navigating a rapidly changing world with modern challenges that exhaust the nervous system and numb our feeling centers. Living in a culture that celebrates consumption and convenience has created communal weaknesses and vulnerabilities to our well-being and long-term survival. As Earth Walkers who feel the winds of change and can sense the need to gather in community and organize, this 2-night campout is not just skills training but an opportunity to become the change you wish to see in the world. Jess welcomes you to awaken something primal within your bones and to gather at this ceremonial fire.

 

Jess is an ALIVENESS coach and believes that rewilding in 2026 requires basic human skills 101 (fire, water, shelter, food & medical) along with epic self-care practices that keep our minds awake, our bodies moving and our hearts open. We will work with the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether to create daily rituals of enlivenment. We will build our resiliency from the inside out and create a growing community of changemakers who will guide the collective through unprecedented challenges we are currently facing. We will do this work with the support of sisterhood, laughter as medicine, presence walks, primal movement, food is love, storytelling, dancing and singing.
