THE MOUNTAIN LIFE
- EXPERIENCE -
FERNIE, BRITISH COLUMBIA
More than a
Getaway
It's where your next chapter begins.
A hosted mountain weekend in Fernie, BC designed for women navigating life's biggest shifts. Space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover what it feels like to have real fun again. And somewhere between the mountains and the fireside, you'll remember how to have fun again.
3 NIGHTS • SMALL GROUPS • HOSTED IN FERNIE, BC
The Long Weekend • Practical Tools • Ongoing Support • Real Community
A QUIET BEGINNING
You know something is shifting.
You've spent a lifetime showing up for others.
And now something feels different.
Maybe it's retirement.
A relationship change.
An empty nest.
A season of loss.
Or simply the quiet feeling that something more is calling you.
You don't need to have all the answers. You just need space to slow down, listen inward, and begin to understand what matters to you now.
WHAT IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE
Wine on the deck after a hike. Someone saying the thing you've been afraid to say out loud, and the whole table nodding. Laughing harder than you have in years. Waking up in the mountains and feeling, for the first time in a long time, like yourself.
​
This is not a silent retreat. It's not a self-help seminar. It's a long weekend with a small group of women who actually get it, guided, held, and punctuated by more laughter than you might expect.
You'll move your body in the mountains. You'll sit around a fire and talk about things that matter. You'll try something new. You'll rest. And you'll leave with more than memories, you'll leave with a practice, a community, and a clearer sense of what you want your next chapter to look like.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
A hosted mountain life experience

Connection
The kind that happens when a small group of women who actually get it are in the same room. Real conversations. Real laughter. The kind of friends you didn't expect to make, and a community that doesn't disappear on Sunday.

Exploration
Mountain hikes, fresh air, and the particular clarity that comes from moving your body somewhere beautiful. Adventure at a pace that meets you where you are.

Restoration
Rest that goes deeper than sleep. Practices that slow you down and bring you back to yourself, including practices you can take home and use on a Wednesday morning.
Most importantly FUN
Yes, fun. On purpose, without apology. Because learning to choose joy consistently is one of the most important things you can do for yourself right now. And because it turns out that laughing together is one of the fastest ways to feel less alone.
THE DAILY RHYTHM
A gentle, consistent flow - every day.
Each day follows the same intentional rhythm. Not a packed itinerary. A structure that lets you breathe, connect, move, and rest on your terms.

MORNING
MIDDAY
AFTERNOON
EVENING
A gentle start, movement, fresh air, and a personal practice to anchor your day. Guided reflection that builds over the weekend into something you can carry home.
Mountain activity, exploration, and the kind of aliveness that only comes from being outside in a place this beautiful.
Facilitated sessions built around the 5 Pathways framework, practical, honest, and designed for real life, not retreat life.
Shared meals, fireside conversation, reflection, and the kind of laughter that sneaks up on you and stays.
You participate as much or as little as you wish.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
This is not a retreat
Retreats are wonderful. This is something else. Here's the honest difference.
The weekend is the spark. Your life is where it catches.
A TYPICAL RETREAT
A packed schedule of classes and sessions
​
You leave feeling inspired, then life takes over
​
Large groups of strangers
​
No structured support after the weekend
​
Focused on the experience itself
​
You go home to figure it out alone
THE MOUNTAIN LIFE EXPERIENCE
A gentle, flexible rhythm, you participate on your terms
​
You leave with a written roadmap and practical tools to use at home
​
Small group of 8 that are all navigating with life shifts.
​
Monthly Zoom check-ins with your host + women from the MLE, ongoing
​
Designed to plant seeds that grow after you leave
​
You go home with new friends and a plan
This experience is intentionally small, personal, and flexible. You are not here to perform, fix yourself, or share more than you want to. You are here to breathe, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to have real fun again.
The mountains give you the clarity.
The tools + experience give you the path.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You're in the right place if.....
You're navigating a life shift and you're ready to invest in yourself, surround yourself with the right women, and build the habits that actually stick.
In Transition
Retirement, empty nest, relationship change, health change, loss/grief - you're in a chapter that deserves real, ongoing support.
Craving Connection
You want to reconnect with yourself + meet women who get it - and stay connected long after the weekend ends.
Seeking Clarity
Ready to connect to who you are through reflection, practical application of tools and development of practical habits with the support of community.
Ready for Adventure + Fun
You want to laugh, move your body in the mountains, and remember what it feels like to be genuinely, unself-consciously in the moment. No agenda. Just fun with women who get it.
HOW THIS WORKS
The weekend is step one.
Real change isn't a single moment, it's what you do with that moment. Here's how the experience is structured to support you for the long haul.
01
THURSDAY - SUNDAY (FERNIE, BC)
The Mountain Long Weekend
Arrive at the lodge Thursday evening. Two full days of facilitated reflective conversations, mountain adventures, deeper connection, and practical self-leadership tools. You leave Sunday midday with a written personal roadmap - and the community to walk with it.
The mountains give you the clarity. The tools give you the path.
02
BACK IN EVERYDAY LIFE
You apply it - intentionally, consistently.
The real work happens at home. Armed with your 5 Pathways framework, emotional wheel and personal leadership plan, you begin weaving new habits, mindsets, and practices into your daily life.
Small, consistent actions - not perfection.
The weekend shifts something. What you do with it at home is where life begins.
03
ONGOING - MONTHLY VIA ZOOM
Monthly check-ins keep you accountable & connected
Every month, you reconnect with your host + the women from MLE via Zoom. Check in on your
progress, troubleshoot what's hard, celebrate what's shifting, and stay anchored to your
intentions - with the women who experienced the Mountain Life Experience too.
Connection is what brings peace and clarity.
Built for the life you're actually living
This isn't a retreat you recover from and then return to unchanged. It's a beginning.
​
The tools, practices, and connections from this weekend are designed for the real world, not a version of life where you have unlimited time and perfect conditions. You'll leave with a personal rhythm for intentional fun. A daily practice for checking in with yourself. A small community of women to stay accountable to. And a clearer sense of what actually fills you up, so you can keep choosing it.
​
One of the most underrated acts of self-leadership is learning to create fun on purpose. Not when conditions are perfect. Not when the grief has passed or the kids are grown — but now, in the middle of the real and imperfect life you're already living. This weekend teaches you how. And then you take that home.
"The practices are real. The community is real. The momentum is yours to keep."
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
You won't just leave with memories.
The Mountain Life Experience doesn't fit in a bag. What shifts here is designed to live in your Tuesday morning, your Thursday evening, your ordinary moments.
01
YOUR WRITTEN PERSONAL ROADMAP
A real document. Your intentions, your 5 Pathways, and your first steps written by you, for you, during the weekend.
02
THE SELF LEADERSHIP TOOLS
5 Pathways Framework- Strengthen connection to self. Emotional Wheel - Build awareness and ability to articulate emotions.
03
A DAILY MORNING PRACTICE
The guided self-connection practice you experienced every morning simplified so you can do it at home, in 10 minutes, every day.
04
An invitation to monthly Zoom check-ins with your host and mountain life community. Ongoing. For real connection.
05
NEW FRIENDSHIPS
Small groups of 8 mean every woman in that lodge knows your name. These aren't acquaintances they're your people.
06
CLARITY ON WHAT'S NEXT
Not a vague feeling. A clearer sense of what matters to you now and what you want to do with it.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything thought of, so you don't have to.
From the moment you arrive in Fernie, you are cared for. All you need to bring is yourself.
3 nights in a private mountain lodge in Fernie, BC
​
Hosted small-group experience for up to 8 women.
​
All meals prepared with care, including dietary needs.
​
Daily facilitated morning self-connection practice.
​
Optional mountain experiences informed by local knowledge.
​
Access to sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub.
​
Invitation to the Mountain Circle after your stay.
POST-WEEKEND SUPPORT
The circle continues
The Mountain Life Experience doesn't end on Sunday.
​
Monthly virtual gatherings keep the momentum alive, a consistent, held space to share what's working, what's hard, and what fun you've been brave enough to create. To stay connected to the women you met in the mountains along with other women that have attended Mountain Life Experiences, and to keep building the habits you started.
​
Because the shifts that matter most don't happen in a weekend. They happen in the weeks and months after — when you have a community to return to and a practice to come back to.
