Hey Wild Women! - Let's go to Canada!

This winter escape to Yellowknife invites us to slow down, connect with nature, and witness the magic of the northern lights together.

Hosted by Kayla and created for adventurous, curious women, we’ll snowshoe through peaceful Arctic forests, meet friendly sled dogs, explore Yellowknife’s creative Old Town, and gather each night beneath shimmering aurora skies, sharing warmth, sisterhood, and unforgettable moments in the wild.

During our time there, a new moon will grace the skies, and on February 6th, 2027 an annular solar eclipse will coincide with this darker lunar phase, creating exceptionally deep night skies, a rare backdrop that may enhance our aurora borealis experience.

Yellowknife is known as one of the best places in the world to view the northern lights, especially in winter when the long, clear nights provide ideal conditions for unforgettable celestial displays.

Style: Outdoor Adventure

We’ll journey to Yellowknife to immerse ourselves in true northern winter. A joyful and awe-filled winter escape designed for women who are looking for connection and adventure.

Who: Outdoor Enthusiasts

This journey calls for women who are ready to challenge themselves and who are ready to explore! Life is what you make of it. Let’s go!

Professional soccer player turned backpacker and world traveler. Having found her passion for hiking after an injury took her out of soccer, she dove head-first into the world of outdoor adventure and has become everyone’s go-to for all things gear and trail tips.

She’s back to playing and coaching soccer and works for a mountain guiding company in Squamish as a trip co-ordinator and logistical wizard.

Needless to say, Kayla is a wealth of knowledge and she’s very fun and easy to chat with to boot!

Then in the afternoon we’ll meet our dog-team guides and friendly huskies. We’ll hear their stories, learn about mushing traditions, and feel the thrill of gliding across snow and ice in a sled pulled by a committed team. We’ll pause for hot drink by the fire and soak up the moment.

As the evening draws in, we’ll gather for a final celebratory dinner, toast to the journey we’ve shared, and then head out for our last aurora experience at Aurora Village.
