Wondrous & Wild Women’s Bushwalking Workshops
Reconnect with others,
Reconnect with yourself,
Reconnect with nature.
Join us for a powerful 2-3 day, 3 night bushwalking workshop designed specifically for women who are ready to build confidence in the wild, learn practical skills, and connect with likeminded souls in the heart of Lutruwita/Tasmania.
Whether you're new to hiking or looking to deepen your outdoor know-how, this weekend offers a safe, supportive space to grow.
Led by an experienced bushwalking guide and registered nurse, you'll gain hands-on experience in gear use, first aid, emergency response, hygiene, nutrition, sun safety, Parks & Wildlife protocols, and so much more — all while soaking in the beauty of Tassie's unique and fragile wilderness.
Come as you are. Leave more capable, confident, and connected.
What’s included?
You'll be supported throughout the weekend by Rachel — a qualified trainer, experienced facilitator, registered nurse, and bushwalking guide who walks the talk when it comes to safety, strength, and soul-nourishing adventure.
All gear is provided (excluding your clothes, boots, and sleeping bag).
You'll have the chance to try out a variety of tents, poles, mattresses, and cooking equipment, giving you hands-on experience with different options and helping you discover what best suits your style and needs.
All meals and snacks are included, featuring a variety of bushwalking-friendly foods. Nutrition is a key part of walking safely, so we'll explore how to pack lightweight meals that still fu your body. You'll taste different options throughout the weekend to help you confidently plan your own trail food in the future.
You'll also receive a beautifully printed guidebook covering
everything we explore and more — so you can relax, stay present, and focus on the experience without needing to remember it all.
You'll gain access to the Soul Trails

Itinerary
Thursday – Arrival & Grounding
Arrive at Cloudy Bay, settle into camp, meet your group, and get comfortable with your gear and tents. We share a nourishing welcome dinner before heading to the beach for a sunset workshop. Here, we set intentions, explore what brought each of us here, and ease into the rhythm of the wild with warm drinks.
The evening closes gently with journaling, stargazing, or simply resting in your tent.
Friday – Nourishing Your Body & Learning the Essentials
Begin with hot drinks, trail breakfast, and gentle stretches and breathwork.
We explore trail nutrition: food weight vs quality, carbs and protein, and building your own dehydrated meals for the rest of the weekend.
After lunch, we dive into hydration and water safety—recognising safe water, filtering vs tablets, how much to carry, spotting dehydration, and managing gut issues on the trail.
The afternoon turns to cooking on the trail: stove types, what’s safe during fire bans, how to pack and care for them, followed by making your own dinner using a provided stove.
We finish with a warm, grounded session on mindset, hygiene in the bush, periods, hormones, mental resilience, and building deep self-trust in the outdoors.
End the day with cocoa, a slow beach wander, quiet reflection, or rest.
Saturday – Safety, Integration & Bush Confidence
We begin slow with breakfast, warm drinks, breathwork and stretching, before moving into first aid for the trail: what to carry, how and when to use it, treating common injuries, and working through practical “what if” scenarios.
After a short break, we explore safety gear and devices—EPIRBs, satellite communicators, tracking technology, and essential emergency equipment. You’ll learn what each tool does and when to use it.
Following lunch, we shift into navigation and bush safety: Tassie’s unique and unpredictable weather, fire restrictions, Parks & Wildlife Tasmania guidelines, logbooks, pathogen stations, park passes, and how to enter and leave wild spaces respectfully.
The day wraps with understanding local tracks and choosing the right walk—flora and fauna awareness, protecting breeding zones, walking lightly on fragile environments, and matching track ratings to your fitness and experience.
Dinner, a new stove to try, Q&A, cocoa, and gentle evening reflection close the day.
Sunday – Pack, Walk & Celebrate
We start with breakfast and a practical workshop on how to pack a bushwalking pack properly.
After packing up camp, we travel to the Cape Queen Elizabeth trailhead and begin a gentle walk to the Arch. There’s time for warm-ups, mindful movement, and settling into the pace of the trail.
At the Arch, we share lunch, reflect together, and soak in the beauty of Bruny Island’s coastline.
We wander back along the same path, and the workshop closes with heartfelt goodbyes to your new trail companions.
