Find Power and Self-Reliance in the Wilderness
The Nordic Woman offers immersion into Scandinavian pastoral culture and wilderness. Experienced female teachers will lead you through backcountry hiking and wilderness skills in a supportive group of other women, in an environment that empowers you to learn.
You will visit historical cultural sites and learn about ancient songs, stories and ways of life. We will introduce you to Scandinavian folk music traditions and the power of kulning. Grounding, meditative practices will help you access your creativity and unlock the power of your voice.
Who Is The Nordic Woman?
We welcome adult women of all ages and backgrounds who are drawn to experience the power of wilderness skills and kulning. You do not need to be an experienced singer; you just need to be willing to learn! In the course of 9 days, we will help you unlock the power of your voice.
You do not need to be an experienced outdoorswoman to attend, but you do need to be able to hike for several miles through wet and windy weather carrying a backpack. Read more about our program and what you can expect.
