About

Founded in 1975, Women’s Wilderness Weekend of RI is a non-denominational, non-profit organization offering weekend retreats for all women, 18 and over.  Our weekends allow women to refresh their inner spirit in a natural setting through education and camaraderie.

Saturday evening entertainment is provided by local professionals.  We’ve had comedians, musicians, line and square dancing, and storytellers.

A diversified class list is provided so that participants can choose up to 3 educational classes for their enjoyment. Each class session has at least three classes and includes indoor and outdoor classes with activity levels ranging from leisure to active.  Some examples of classes include a hike with high tea, canoeing and kayaking, jewelry making, dream interpretation, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, winter navigation and survival, wild medicine hike, soap making, folk music and dance, drawing, and a wild woman challenge.

Finally, reflexology and massage practitioners as well as tarot and intuitive readers are provided (at an extra cost) for your enjoyment and total relaxation.

Our weekends are alcohol and drug free.
