Kindred | Women’s Guided Hiking Program
Kindred is a guided hiking program for women who want to deepen their confidence, strengthen their connection to nature, and build real capability outdoors - without the intimidation, ego, or competitiveness that often surrounds adventure spaces.
This is steady, soulful bushwalking paired with practical outdoor skills and personal development themes designed to help you expand, inside and out.
The transformation:
Through Kindred, you’ll build:
Outdoor confidence rooted in skill, not guesswork
meaningful connection with other capable women

Kindred is where competence meets connection and confidence becomes a lived experience.

Kindred blends mindful hiking, outdoor education, and personal growth in a format that meets women where they are: capable, busy, craving connection, and ready for something more grounding.
Led by qualified female guides, each walk is structured to help you feel safe, seen, and supported while learning the skills that make nature feel natural - packing, planning, navigation, risk management, and trail confidence. Over the course of the program (which runs over 5 Sundays within each school term), you’ll have opportunities to connect with your kindred community online over 2 x group calls, as well as in-person over 3 x day hikes with progressive skills that each build upon the last. Can’t commit to the full-term transformation? Single Day Hike Passes are available too.
This isn’t about conquering a trail.
It’s about walking together, learning together, and remembering what strength feels like in your body and your mind.
Kindred is for women who:
Want to feel more confident and competent outdoors
Value connection with like-minded women
Want space to slow down and reconnect with nature
Appreciate a balance of structure, guidance, and soulful conversation
Feel comfortable completing a moderate hike and are ready to challenge themselves gently
Want to build self-trust through real-world skill building
This program requires moderate fitness and the ability to walk for a sustained period on undulating trails.
