Into The Wild

03/31/2026

Today was one of those experiences that stays with you long after it ends.

We had the honor of learning the rich history of Emerald Hollow Mine, and what made it truly unforgettable was the care, intention, and generosity shown to our group by Jason and his incredible team. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not just as visitors, but as valued guests—given a level of attention and VIP treatment that made each of us feel seen and appreciated.

There was something powerful about being guided through the land by people who clearly love what they do. The stories, the knowledge, the patience, and the genuine excitement they shared with us created an experience far beyond what we could have imagined. It wasn’t just about finding gems—it was about connection, curiosity, and being invited into something meaningful.

We are deeply grateful for the time, energy, and heart that was poured into today. Experiences like this remind us how impactful it is when people go above and beyond to create something special for others.

Thank you, Jason and team, for giving us a day we will never forget. 💚 Sonia and the girls of ITW

It’s been a busy and beautiful start to our Winter Session! ❄️ We’re already halfway through, and the days have been filled with hiking adventures, waterfall climbs, meaningful group work, and creative art sessions. Along the way we’ve shared plenty of meals together—on the trails, in the cars heading to hikes, and anywhere we could pause and enjoy the moment. Grateful for this group as we continue exploring nature, creativity, and ourselves. 🌿🥾🎨

🌿✨ Into the Wild – New Session Begins Late February! ✨🌿

Ready to reconnect with nature, your creativity, and an incredible community of women? Our next Into the Wild session begins the last week of February — and we’d love for you to be part of it.

We’ll gather outdoors for movement, mindfulness, art/poetry, creative expression, nature immersion, connection, and growth. No experience needed — just an open heart and a willingness to show up for yourself. 💚

This is a space to heal, explore, laugh, create, and reconnect with the parts of you that might feel forgotten.

Step outside. Breathe deep. Create. Begin again.

💚 With Deep Gratitude from Into the Wild 💚

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank our community, donors, partners, and friends for the continued support of Into the Wild. This program exists because of you—and because of your belief in healing, connection, and growth through nature.

Over the past season, we have been humbled by so many generous acts of kindness. From financial contributions, to new shirts, nourishing food and homemade baked goods, to outdoor gear that directly supports our participants—each gift has mattered deeply. Every offering, big or small, has helped strengthen the program and the people who walk this journey with us.

Your support does more than fund activities; it builds safety, belonging, resilience, and hope. It allows us to continue serving our community in meaningful, grounded, and transformative ways.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in this work, and helping Into the Wild continue to grow. We truly could not do this without you. 🌿✨

Tara Dower’s incredible run across the Appalachian Trail reflects determination, discipline, and a desire to uplift others. Covering more than 50 miles a day requires physical strength, but her purpose adds a deeper layer to her effort—supporting young girls and inspiring women across the world.

Her journey reminds us of the importance of representation. When one person pushes through limits, others learn to believe in their own potential. By sharing her experience, she not only reaches the finish line but also opens doors for those who are still beginning their path.

This accomplishment stands as a celebration of resilience. It shows that even the most demanding challenges can become pathways to empowerment when guided by intention and heart. 🌄🏃‍♀️
