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
increased self-trust and resilience
clarity, presence, and mental spaciousness
the kind of embodied confidence that carries into every area of life
a sense of belonging with nature, community, and yourself
Kindred is where competence meets connection and confidence becomes a lived experience.
The experience
Each Kindred walk includes:
Guided hikes on thoughtfully chosen South Australian trails
Skill-building, including navigation, trail safety, trip planning and pack essentials
Personal development themes woven into the rhythm of each walk
Supportive all-women community with shared intention and shared experience
Nervous system-aware guidance that helps you feel calm, capable, and clear
Time and space to reflect, breathe, and reconnect with your inner landscape

Builds skills, connection, community, confidence and accountability over the term
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.
Who It’s For
Frequently asked questions:
Q: How do I use my coast is calling $100 experience voucher?
A: You can book your Stand Up Paddle Boarding Lesson directly on the South Australian Tourism Commission’s Coast is Calling booking site, where enliven outdoor adventures is listed here. Applying your voucher will make your SUP experience free of charge for you.
Q: Am I too big/small/old for this tour?
A: You can’t be too small (I have XXS life jackets and stable boards) but unfortunately the max weight rating of our SUP boards is 110kg, so you must weigh under this to participate. If you have a reasonable level of fitness and you are comfortable with walking, then you’re not too old either! All participants must sign the waiver, where you can let me know if you have any medical concerns I should be aware of.
Q: What if there’s bad weather?
A: While cold weather or a drizzle of rain won’t cancel a session (I’ve got jackets to keep you warm!) wind or waves might. If the forecast is too windy or wavy for your session to go ahead (ie over 10kts wind or over 0.5m waves, or lightning) We will contact you to cancel/ postpone your session as soon as possible.
Q: Can I bring my own board?
A: Yes, but please let us know in advance so we can ensure it meets safety requirements. You will still be required to wear a fitted life jacket (supplied). You will still need to pay the full amount, as we have a maximum group size of 8 guests (whether they bring their own board or use ours).
Q: Do I need to know how to swim?
A: While it is not required that you prove your swimming capability before your SUP session, basic swimming ability is highly recommended to ensure you won’t panic if you fall in. All participants must wear a fitted life jacket (supplied) and a leg leash attaching them to the board (supplied) so you will float if you fall in.
Q: Can my kids join in?
A: Children 11-13 may participate if an adult known to them is on the tour. Children 14-17 are able to participate without adult supervision (Elise has her working with children check and RRHAN-EC training). All paddlers under 18 must have the waiver signed for them by a care giver. For kids under 11, book in a private session (no minimum age and toddler life jackets available).
