Please Note: Refunds are not available but transfers are. In case of inclement weather (heavy snow or rain), the hike will be rescheduled.

WHY HIKE?

It boosts endorphins, reduces stress and helps keep you present. By allowing ourselves to be unapologetically spiritual in a place like the outdoors, we honor and affirm how we take up space in the world.

WHY JOURNAL?

The peace you get from being out on a hike naturally leads to personal reflection because your mind is super clear and you’re tapped into your highest self. Writing in this state is a powerful way to connect with yourself and what you want out of life. Once the pen hits the paper, anything is possible.

SIDE EFFECTS OF HIKING WITH US INCLUDE:

Spiritual freedom as we unapologetically take up space in nature, self-esteem on point, nature high that lasts about a week, inner peace, remembering who the fuck you are, feeling grounded, deep connection with nature, appreciation for ancestral land a.k.a. Pachamama, self-revelations through journaling, and the sassiness to stand in your power. You’ll always walk away from a hike feeling better than how you came in.

On a Nature High Hike (Secret Location)

On a Nature High Hike (Secret Location)

We breathe because of the trees. Our bodies are made of the same minerals as the earth beneath our feet. When we step into nature with intention, we remember that we are not separate from it—we belong to it.

On April 19, join us for a Nature High Hike, a hike to honor our connection to the earth, our breath, and the wisdom that plants offer us. This is a day to slow down, to let the land hold us, and to tap into the deep presence and reflection that nature makes possible. We’ll walk, pause to take in the beauty around us, sit with the trees, and feel what it means to be fully alive and rooted.

When used with intention, cannabis is a powerful plant ally—one that can open our hearts, quiet the noise, and help us experience a different kind of stillness. Whether you partake or not, this hike is an invitation to elevate—not just in body, but in awareness, gratitude, and connection. Let’s get high on nature, on movement, on deep breaths, and on the reminder that we are always in relationship with the world around us.

Brujas Hike (The Catskills)

The word bruja holds power. It carries history, resistance, and deep ancestral wisdom. For the past decade, I’ve been on my own bruja journey—reclaiming my spiritual practice, deepening my intuition, and learning what it means to walk this path with intention. Now, on the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and a time of transformation, I want to share what’s helped me along the way.

Join us for the Brujas Hike on Saturday, June 21, where we’ll walk together, honor the solstice, and dive into the meaning of bruja—its history, impact, and the ways we can reclaim and redefine it for ourselves. I’ll be sharing the resources, practices, and insights that have shaped my journey, and we’ll hold space for reflection, connection, and the magic we carry within us.

If you’ve been curious about stepping into your own power or want to be in community with like-minded women, this hike is for you. Let’s welcome the solstice together, embrace the energy of the sun, and honor the brujas we are, have been, and are becoming.

Reclaim Your Roots Hike (Hudson Valley)

Reclaim Your Roots Hike (Hudson Valley)

Our roots run deep—through our ancestors, our family stories, and the spiritual and cultural traditions that have shaped us. But reclaiming those roots isn’t always a straight path. It’s a journey of remembering, unlearning, and reconnecting in ways that feel true to us.

Join us on Saturday, September 13, in honor of Latinx Heritage Month, for the Reclaim Your Roots Hike, a walk dedicated to exploring where we come from—both in the literal and spiritual sense. As we move through nature, we’ll hold space to reflect on the people, lands, and traditions that made us. Whether it’s through the wisdom of our elders, the language of our ancestors, or the spiritual practices that call to us, this is about rediscovering and reclaiming what feels like home.

We’ll hike, journal, and hold space for storytelling, connection, and reflection. However you show up, this is your time to ground yourself in who you are, honor where you’ve been, and step forward with intention.

About the hike: We’re headed to Anthony’s Nose trail near Cold Spring, NY where you’ll also be able to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. If you’ve looking for a hike with a bit of a challenge, then this might do the trick. The first section of the hike is the steep 500-foot rock staircase (takes about 30-45 minutes to go up), then the trail levels out leading to the overlook with the epic views where we will take a break to rehydrate, meditate and journal before heading back. If you aren’t sure about the rock staircase, check out the photo below and/or you can read a play by play here.

Reclaim Your Roots Hike
from $66.00

Please Note: Refunds are not available but transfers are. In case of inclement weather (heavy snow or rain), the hike will be rescheduled.

WHY HIKE?

It boosts endorphins, reduces stress and helps keep you present. By allowing ourselves to be unapologetically spiritual in a place like the outdoors, we honor and affirm how we take up space in the world.

WHY JOURNAL?

The peace you get from being out on a hike naturally leads to personal reflection because your mind is super clear and you’re tapped into your highest self. Writing in this state is a powerful way to connect with yourself and what you want out of life. Once the pen hits the paper, anything is possible.

SIDE EFFECTS OF HIKING WITH US INCLUDE:

Spiritual freedom as we unapologetically take up space in nature, self-esteem on point, nature high that lasts about a week, inner peace, remembering who the fuck you are, feeling grounded, deep connection with nature, appreciation for ancestral land a.k.a. Pachamama, self-revelations through journaling, and the sassiness to stand in your power. You’ll always walk away from a hike feeling better than how you came in.

Pachamama Glamping Retreat

Pachamama Glamping Retreat

Welcome to the Glamping Retreat You Didn't Know You Needed!

Imagine: A perfect blend of adventure and comfort with access to a sauna, bathroom, and a tiny cabin nearby. Plus, a spiritual hike, nature journaling, and a Peruvian sacred ritual.

Ahem, glamping.

We're thrilled to collaborate with Morena Escardó, a holistic health coach, meditation and manifestation expert, and published author. We met through The Peruana Collective a few years ago and have always wanted to work together in some way. Now, we get to honor the land, ourselves, and the magia that comes with collaboration. Plus, we get to camp in a safe setting with access to a tiny cabin. We'll be going on a peaceful hike to journal and work our bodies out.

Meet Morena Escardó: After studying Philosophy in England, and Literature in Spain, she spent a decade working in the publishing industry as a writer, editor, and content creator, before turning her attention to her deepest passions: spirituality and holistic wellbeing. 

She's been working as a spiritual mentor for Latinas since 2014, has a meditation practice that spans over two decades, and is currently training with shamans from her native Peru to deepen her connection with nature and healing. During the retreat, she will lead a Despacho ceremony, a beautiful ritual to give thanks and blessings to Pachamama (Mother Earth).

Despacho (Pachamama Blessing): This beautiful ritual uses the principle of ayni (sacred reciprocity), to give thanks and blessings to Pachamama (mother earth), in order to receive those blessings back.The ancient Andean ceremony involves creating a beautiful offering to the Earth, filled with our intentions and gratitude (and delicious foods that we will feed to the fire).

Together in this celebration, we will release what no longer serves us, set intentions for our future, and open ourselves up to receive abundance in all its forms.

Hike Level: (Beginner) Exact location and details will be sent to those who register. But essentially, the hike will be easy and more about connecting with the earth and journaling with ease.

Here we are at a past retreat grounding our feet into the earth.

Self-Love Hike

Time for winter warriors to come out and face the winter head on. You’ll be hiking with other like-minded women of color, all in the name of self-love!

This will be our first hike of 2024.

UPDATE: The weather is feeling WAY more like fall so I put a photo above of the kind of gear we were wearing for our last fall hike last year. Weather hasn’t felt like winter but expect 40 degrees or so.

Benefits: While I love the concept of Valentine's Day, or even Galentine's Day, I believe the most important and urgent kind of love is self-love. We will get into modalities, mindsets, shared experiences, thoughtful tips and more on reclaiming that deep love for ourselves on the hike. 

More on Self-Love: It's a journey I've been for a decade after leaving a long-term relationship that wasn't working out. I still remember how that was one of the hardest decisions I had to make. I started to question my own worth because if I really loved myself why would I let someone treat me the way they did. It felt like then or never to walk away and figure out who I really was so I could love that person as soon as possible.

What got me out of bed then was that I had this dream of living on my own, finding a job I loved, traveling with friends and creating a community business. It was most definitely a process but I made all the things I wanted happen for myself and I'm so grateful I did or else Reclama would've never come to be. Every February (we turn 6 this year!) I am reminded of the possibilities despite the current situation, heartache or lack of funds. Todo es posible! 

Mood: Adventurous considering it’s a winter hike but it will be worth it. This is how you reclaim your morning, this is how you reset yourself this month. It will not be as cold as past winter hikes. It will feel more like fall but still chilly so definitely layer up. There will be lots of time to chill and hug a tree.

Type: (Beginner/Moderate) This hiking trail is in New Jersey (near the GWB) along the Hudson River, mostly flat, and about 3 miles. Super chill.

GPS Coordinates: Exact location will be disclosed via email.

Breakdown:

10 AM - 10:30 AM: Welcome/Smudging

10:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Hike in/Self-Love Sharing Circle

Halloween-Luna-Llena-Hike

End 2023 on top of Overlook Mountain in the Catskills with us!

Intention: This hike is about reclaiming how we heal and why nature is so healing. Because if there’s one thing you’ve learned on your healing journey is that it’s a lifelong journey so let’s find a way that speaks to us out in nature. Being in nature helps fosters a connection with ourselves and surroundings, promoting deep mindfulness and an even deeper appreciation of the natural world. Dale, let’s go.

Why?: Because spending time in nature provides a multitude of healing benefits. It reduces stress levels, alleviates symptoms of depression, boosts mood, and improves cognitive function. Nature's diverse elements strengthen the immune system contributing to faster healing and recovery.

About the trail: (Moderate) The Overlook Mountain Trail is said to be one of the most popular hikes in the Catskills. But what really caught my eye was how nature has reclaimed an abandoned hotel on the trail. The mountain backdrop is going to be worth the trek up. Check this blog out if you want a play by play.

Reclaim Your Ancestry Retreat

If you’ve never hiked in the Hudson Valley in New York, now is your chance. This is the perfect time to catch those fall leaves and colors from beautiful summit views, plus this hike is public transportation friendly. Not to mention a bit moderate at first with some rock scrambles to keep your glutes honest.

Intention: This hike is about reclaiming our connection with our ancestors. From our grandparents to the ones we never got to meet. Even if you have never done so or haven’t in a while, you will walk away knowing one way to communicate with them in nature through writing. Join us. Don’t miss out.

Why? Because nature serves as a bridge to our ancestors, connecting us to our heritage. Ancestral landscapes and sacred sites in natural settings allow us to understand our roots. Nature's elements and symbolism play a role in honoring and communicating with our ancestors. It holds ancestral knowledge, enabling us to reclaim teachings and wisdom. Nature also provides a healing space for ancestral wounds, fostering reconciliation and a deeper connection to our ancestral past. Dale, let’s go.

About the hike: (Moderate at first, then easy) We’re headed to Anthony’s Nose trail near Cold Spring, NY where you’ll also be able to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. If you’ve looking for a hike with a bit of a challenge, then this might do the trick. The first section of the hike is the steep 500-foot rock staircase (takes about 20-30 minutes to go up), then the trail levels out leading to the overlook with the epic views where we will take a break to rehydrate, meditate and journal before heading back. If you aren’t sure about the rock staircase, check out the photo below and/or you can read a play by play here.

Hike level: If you usually workout, you'll be okay. If you don't at all, you will huff and puff a bit but it's only the first 30 minutes. Then, it's super chill.

Videos of past hikes can be found here and here.

Distance: 2.6 miles

Photo courtesy of Hike the Hudson Valley

Public Transportation: If you're coming from NYC, you can take the Metro North train from Grand Central to Cortlandt via the Hudson Line. From there, it is about a 10-minute ride to the trailhead. If you're not down for the walk, you can easily book an Uber or Lyft. I’ll email the exact meetup spot 3 days prior.

Another transportation option: A shuttle is available for $89 RT with our partners at Outerthere. Fits up to 10 and will take you directly to the trail and back. Check out this link to book your shuttle.

Bathrooms: Only on the trains and in Cold Spring. There aren’t any at the trailhead or on the way. So we can find a spot and then the group can help cover you with our backs turned. We’ve done so in the past and you would be surprised how fast like-minded women come through for one another in nature. I also carry a bathroom kit for all the hikers so no need to pack that. I got you.

Another transportation option: A shuttle is available for $89 RT with our partners at Outerthere. Fits up to 10 and will take you directly to the trail and back. Check out this link to book your shuttle.

Bathrooms: Only on the trains and in Cold Spring. There aren’t any at the trailhead or on the way. So we can find a spot and then the group can help cover you with our backs turned. We’ve done so in the past and you would be surprised how fast like-minded women come through for one another in nature. I also carry a bathroom kit for all the hikers so no need to pack that. I got you.

Breakdown:

10:00 AM - 11 AM: Welcome/Smudging/Introductions

11 AM - 1 PM: Hike in

1 PM - 2 PM: Snacks & Rest and Guided Journaling Session

2 PM - 3:30 PM: Hike back/Closing circle

Peruanas Retreat with The Peruana Collective

If you’ve never hiked in the Hudson Valley in New York, now is your chance. This is the perfect time to catch those fall leaves and colors from beautiful summit views, plus this hike is public transportation friendly. Not to mention a bit moderate at first with some rock scrambles to keep your glutes honest.

Intention: This hike is about bringing the Peruanas in the diaspora together in the name of cultura and community.

Only for Peruanas? Yes, because this is a special event for the community I, Cindy Rodriguez, co-run with Vanessa Ponce a.k.a. Peruvian Chica in NYC called The Peruana Collective created to bring Peruanas in the diaspora together through online and IRL events in the New York and New Jersey area. To learn more about our story, check out our Instagram page with our backstory with more on how to join our comunidad. We’ve co-hosted a hike for TPC in the past and we loved it. Join us!

Vanessa at our past hike in the Hudson Valley.

Why? Because nature serves as a bridge to our ancestors, connecting us to our heritage. Ancestral landscapes and sacred sites in natural settings allow us to understand our roots. Nature's elements and symbolism play a role in honoring and communicating with our ancestors. It holds ancestral knowledge, enabling us to reclaim teachings and wisdom. Nature also provides a healing space for ancestral wounds, fostering reconciliation and a deeper connection to our ancestral past. Dale, let’s go.

Us keeping the community gatherings going during the pandemic.

About the hike: (Moderate at first, then easy) We’re headed to Anthony’s Nose trail near Cold Spring, NY where you’ll also be able to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. If you’ve looking for a hike with a bit of a challenge, then this might do the trick. The first section of the hike is the steep 500-foot rock staircase (takes about 20-30 minutes to go up), then the trail levels out leading to the overlook with the epic views where we will take a break to rehydrate, meditate and journal before heading back. If you aren’t sure about the rock staircase, check out the photo below and/or you can read a play by play here.

Hike level: If you usually workout, you'll be okay. If you don't at all, you will huff and puff a bit but it's only the first 30 minutes. Then, it's super chill. Vas a ver. Check out what the hike is like on Reclama's IG page when we went last fall. 

Distance: 2.6 miles

WHY HIKE?

It boosts endorphins, reduces stress and helps keep you present. By allowing ourselves to be unapologetically spiritual in a place like the outdoors, we honor and affirm how we take up space in the world.

WHY JOURNAL?

The peace you get from being out on a hike naturally leads to personal reflection because your mind is super clear and you’re tapped into your highest self. Writing in this state is a powerful way to connect with yourself and what you want out of life. Once the pen hits the paper, anything is possible.

SIDE EFFECTS OF HIKING WITH US INCLUDE:

Spiritual freedom as we unapologetically take up space in nature, self-esteem on point, nature high that lasts about a week, inner peace, remembering who the fuck you are, feeling grounded, deep connection with nature, appreciation for ancestral land a.k.a. Pachamama, self-revelations through journaling, and the sassiness to stand in your power. You’ll always walk away from a hike feeling better than how you came in.
