THE MOUNTAIN LIFE
- EXPERIENCE -
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 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
Is this 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
Craving Connection
Seeking Clarity
Ready for Adventure + Fun
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.
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.

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.
