For Women Who Seek Wild Within
WILD Within Alaska Adventures
Our Philosophy
At Wild Within Alaska Adventures, we believe in the power of nature and self-reflection to promote personal growth and connection. Our philosophy is rooted in the principles of creating community, reciprocity, and fostering resilience.
Our Mission
The mission behind Wild Within Alaska is to create an environment and community amongst women seeking connection to self through nature and each other. We believe when we feel connected to nature, we are more connected to ourselves.
Ketchikan, Alaska
We acknowledge that Ketchikan resides on the sacred lands of the Tlingit, Haida, & Tsimshian indigenous peoples and part of our ethos is in respecting the land and providing reciprocity in order to restore power into a world that seems intent on taking it away.
Nestled in the heart of a temperate rainforest in southern southeast Alaska on an island that is only accessible by boat or plane, Wild Within Alaska Adventures is an experience that allows for peace and tranquility. This immersive experience in Ketchikan, Alaska offers an ideal environment for rejuvenation and connection to self.
Wild Within Alaska Adventures
What's included?
Accommodations
You’ll spend 5 nights in a beautiful home on the water overlooking the Tongass Narrows. Most guests will have their own private room, though we do have a shared room with double beds if you’re bringing a friend and would like to room together or if you want to room with me! The house features a large deck and firepit, the perfect spot to watch for whales and other marine life passing by.
*Note that our discounted trips in May & September are 3 nights.
Transportation
No need to stress about logistics! I’ll be waiting at baggage claim to greet & guide you and will get you back to the airport when it’s time to head home.
Meals
Who has time to think about food when you’re exploring the wilderness of southeast Alaska? Not you! All meals outside of restaurant meals will be prepared and provided daily.
Hiking & Nature Walks
Before arrival, I’ll send out a questionnaire to learn about your comfort levels so we can choose hikes that feel good for everyone. Ketchikan offers everything from gentle rainforest walks with waterfalls and beach strolls (great for whale spotting!) to more adventurous trails if you’re up for a challenge. We’ll take it day by day, balancing group ability and energy.
Yoga & Meditation
Each morning we’ll move through a gentle vinyasa flow to ground ourselves, followed by guided meditation. You’ll also receive a keepsake journal (in your swag bag!) with daily prompts for reflection. Evenings may include Yoga Nidra for deep relaxation. Mats and props are provided, no need to bring your own. And of course, everything is optional, this is your retreat.
Boat Excursions / Fishing
Depending on group preference, we’ll either enjoy a combined fishing & wildlife excursion or take a zodiac tour to explore for wildlife, both with local captains! If you absolutely want to fish, we will totally go fishing and if you catch fish, you’ll have the option to have it vacuum-sealed, packed, and ready to take home. The cost of the excursion is included in the trip, but the captain gratuity and fish processing fees are not so please keep that in mind.
Pottery OR Candle Workshop
Since we are in the heart of the largest temperate rainforest in North America, we’ll also have cozy indoor options for rainy moments. A talented local potter or candle maker will host us for a hands-on workshop in her studio. You’ll learn the basics of wheel throwing or candle-making and we will carefully pack up your creation to take home or we will ship it to you if it’s pottery and not ready yet!
