THE WILD YUKON
A Week of Mountains, Movement & Perspective
September 13-17, 2027
Remember the part of you that still trusts her body, follows her curiosity, and feels small in the best possible way?
This retreat is about rediscovering your WILDNESS. Not wild in the sense of the extreme, rather, YOUR INNER WILD. The part of you who never wants to be TAMED.
Six days of hiking, awe, long northern evenings, campfire conversations, and landscapes so vast they quiet the noise you've been carrying.
This retreat is for the woman who...
...feels most like herself outside.
...craves quiet more than another vacation.
...has forgotten what it's like to walk for hours without checking her phone.
...wants to feel physically strong.
...wants conversations that don't revolve around work.
...feels called toward places that still feel truly wild.
Where Wild Meets Wild
There seems to be something that happens when we spend time in really wild places. The landscape of the Yukon exists as a vast, untamed, and beautifully indifferent space.
We start to remember that we're part of nature, not separate from it.
That we, too, are capable of adapting, exploring, wondering, and finding our way through unfamiliar places.
The wild around us has a way of awakening the wild parts within us…
Imagine…
Mornings
that start with fresh air and hot coffee and the gorgeous light of the rising sun.
Days
spent hiking through alpine landscapes with fall colours taking our breath away, conversations that unfold naturally with every step, and picnic lunches surrounded by mountains.
Evenings
sharing meals, laughter, and stories. Moments of complete silence where the only sound is the wind and a night sky that reminds you just how beautiful the world really is.
"Instructions for living a life: Pay attention.
Be astonished. Tell about it."
-everyone’s favorite poet the great Mary Oliver

Each hike will be professionally guided by guides who have experience in dealting with the wildlife unique to the Yukon.
-
You need to be able to hike (uneven terrain, rocks, roots) for 20km in one day with an elevation of 1000m.
I would say the hikes we are doing are moderate to hard without any technical (scrambling, ropes etc) attributes.

Fly into Calgary or Vancouver and from there Air North is the best airline to take to Whitehorse. From Whitehorse, we will travel as a group to the lodge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Hosts
Krista McNally
Owner/HostMama bear, lifelong learner, and the kind of person who should probably wear a shirt that says, "I'm curious," Krista leads with her heart. She has an incredible gift for making people feel seen, safe, and genuinely cared for.
As Heartventures' resident den mama, she's always paying attention—to whether you've had enough to eat, how you're really doing, or whether you need a quiet moment or a reassuring hug. Her care extends far beyond the practical. Krista creates spaces where people feel comfortable enough to be themselves, connect deeply with one another, and remember what's most important.
She'll roar when you're hurting, laugh until her cheeks ache, cry alongside you when the moment calls for it, and celebrate your victories as if they were her own.
More than anything, Krista wants every woman who joins a Heartventures retreat to leave feeling like she mattered—that she was deeply seen, wholeheartedly celebrated, and never alone.
