Adventure with Purpose
It's more than an event—it's an experience that stays with you.
This is about claiming your strength — and realizing just how capable you really are. Over the course of 8 events, you’ll build real-world survival skills, push your limits, and unlock a deeper sense of confidence alongside a community of strong, determined women. There’s no pressure to attend every event — come to as many as you can. Each gathering is an opportunity to challenge yourself, grow your abilities, and step outside your comfort zone. Together, you’ll take on physical challenges, sharpen your instincts, and build the kind of resilience that carries into every part of your life. This is your space to grow stronger, trust yourself more deeply, and surround yourself with women who are stepping into their power — just like you. If you’ve been looking for something real, something that empowers you to rise to the challenge and own your strength, Women of the Woods is your call to action. These events run once every month. In October, after the Women of the Woods has concluded for the year, you will be able to sign up for the 24-Hour Field Test… 24 hours to apply your skills.

What Not to Expect:
Don’t expect Navy SEAL training. This is for the average active/fit women to attend.
Don’t expect it to be a walk in the park either.
Don’t expect for the instructors to yell and scream at you. Your pace is decided within your team. With the challenges presented, every woman’s strength and weakness will be revealed. This is where we connect & grow.
Don’t expect to be a one woman team…as that is not a team.
Don’t expect yourself to be as fit as you once were, just show up and be the best teammate and student you can be TODAY.
