Outwild at Zion
April 16-19, 2026 | Orderville, Utah
An intimate women’s retreat for adventure, enlivenment, and connection. Join us right outside Zion National Park.
This event was so fantastic in 2022, 2023, 2024 , and 2025 that we had to bring it back in 2026. In this intimate women’s retreat, we breathe energy back into your mind, body, and life. Throughout the weekend, we use life-design workshops, yoga, and outdoor experiences to help you rediscover the enlivened version of you that is often stifled beneath your routine, patterns, and energy traps. You’ll leave the retreat not only with a renewed sense of vitality, but also with ideas in hand to reinvigorate all aspects of your life back home. Come prepared to journey through slot canyons, connect with like-minded women, eat incredible food, and breathe in the fresh desert air!

Guided activities
Note: There is always the possibility that activities will change due to weather. We will always try to make the most of whatever weather we have.
Via Ferrata:
Via Ferratas (“Iron way” in Italian) are a series of iron steps forged into a steep cliffside, making it possible for novice adventurers to enjoy the thrill and excitement of rock climbing without any of the gear, agility, or training. This tour will take climbers up stunning vertical red rock faces and culminate with gorgeous views of the surrounding area. It will be followed by a few rappels back down to the ground! No rock climbing experience necessary. All equipment will be provided.
*Included in ticket price
Canyoneering:
Experience the water carved landscapes of Utah on a canyoneering trip through a sandstone slot canyon. Our guided tour will involve hiking, rappelling, down-climbing, stemming, and in some cases wading through water.
*Included in ticket price
