Wild Women on the Water
Wilderness Living and Ancestral Skills Course with Callie Russell
August 3rd- 9th 2025
Kalispell, MT
Limited to 15 students
Tuition $2,222
Join Callie, Mandy, Suzie and Chloe for a week full of wilderness living skills, adventure, connection, and rejuvenation. We will make camp on the beautiful Flathead River in Northwestern Montana and explore a variety of essential wilderness living skills and ancestral skills such as:
how to select a good camp
many methods of fire making
tending and cooking on fire
purifying water
cordage making and knots
shelter building
fishing
edible and medicinal plants
tracking and trapping
archery
all things goat, milking, cheese making, and walking with goats
Paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking
and more!
We will have plenty of hands-on time to practice skills, and we will also have time for self care, soaking up the experience, and practicing personal growth skills too:
movement practices
journaling
silent time on the land for meditation and reflection
exercises to tap into your own intuition and creativity
swimming
playing games
and more
After learning, laughing, and practicing skills with our newfound sisters, we will leave our base camp and head out for a river adventure. We’ll pack up some gear and get in our kayaks and canoes and float down the river. We will make a wild camp, and spend one night away from our base camp. We will have a chance to test our skills with minimal gear in a new location. In this course we will adapt to the weather and what learning opportunities nature presents, versus rigidly sticking to an exact list of skills we plan to cover.
After this class you will:
feel empowered and inspired!
have skills to live more comfortably outside and in the wilderness
feel nourished by your connection with nature and new women friends
be more in touch with yourself and your own intuition and creativity
will likely have new life long friends
