Pachamama Hike (Shenandoah National Park)

This hike is all about honoring and caring for Pachamama—because if we’re a part of her, protecting her starts with us. We’ll start with a grounding meditation, take a mindful hike through Shenandoah National Park, and reflect on how we can give back to the land that gives us everything. Along the way, we’ll journal, share, and create an outdoor altar, bringing an offering to show gratitude.

Date: Saturday, April 26, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Location: Shenandoah National Park
Level: Easy

Distance: Under 2 miles round trip

About the hike: Explore this 1.5-mile loop trail—a spot that's a bit challenging but totally worth it, usually taking about 46 minutes to complete. It's a favorite for birders, hikers, and runners, so you're likely to bump into some cool folks along the way. This little loop takes you up to the awesome Stony Man Lookout, before heading back along the Appalachian Trail and Skyline Drive to the Stony Man Parking Area. We will take time to enjoy the views, the vibe, and the journey at your own pace.

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.
