REWILD YOUR SOUL

A Return to Nature in the Mountains of Montana

 June 18th – 23rd 2025 & June 26th – July 1st 2025

Rewild your soul and return to nature in the stunning mountains of Montana! Known for its breathtaking scenery and wildlife, wide open spaces, and majestic snow-capped mountain ranges, we can’t think of a better place to get inspired! 

Explore charming off-the-beaten-path towns, dine on chef-prepared farm-to-fork fare and experience the beauty of Big Sky Country with its pristine lakes, rivers, and streams!

Along the way, we’ll lead you through creative prompts as we take time to gather inspiration from the beautiful places we visit. Our talented guest artist Cassie Berube has designed custom workshops from Botanical Printmaking & Mixed Media Nature Collages to Forest Florals! 

This journey is for anyone looking to explore their creative side, and all of our activities and workshops are for beginners and seasoned artists alike! No Art experience necessary!

Discover all Montana has to offer on our very own private ranch right outside of Glacier! Featuring more than 150 acres of Montana’s legendary wonderland to explore, including miles of walking trails, ponds to kayak on, and gardens to roam, there is something to explore around every corner!

Our adventure takes place in the heart of the Flathead Valley, set amongst fields of green and home to national forests, wild rivers, and the famed Flathead Lake. Formed by a melted glacier the lake lies in between two mountain ranges and offers stunning vistas, islands, and maybe even a Loch Ness monster or two! 

Explore the picturesque mountain town of Whitefish with its eclectic shops and adorable small-town vibes, dive into rustic cuisine with a hands-on cooking class from our award-winning chef and traverse the crystal clear waters of the Flathead on a private sunset cruise, are just a few highlights of this unforgettable adventure!


A WORD FROM YOUR HOST

Hi Everyone! Cassie here, founder of Wandering Women Retreats, art and travel lover!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to not only host but also teach in my beautiful home state of Montana! I think there is something really special about exploring with a local and as a born and raised Montanan it doesn’t get any more local than this!

With over a decade of experience in the travel industry and as a professional artist, it’s been a long-time dream to merge the two and offer unforgettable journeys that both nurture your creative side and immerse you in local culture. 

So join me on an adventure in the beautiful mountains of Montana!

Meet our featured Local Artist

Meet Olivia Stark! An award-winning local artist whose work spans multiple media and styles, from sculpture to beautiful landscapes and colorful abstracts! 

“I find my best work is through improvisation. I’m drawn to the shapes and lines that surface in my work. My intention is to create opportunities for what’s hidden to emerge. A dance of physical and mental imagery. To reveal the essence of what arises and include the viewer in my assertions.”

Olivia will be coming to the ranch and hosting a pop of her work with an artist talk, demo and more!
