About Us

Hilary and Kelly, co-founders of RootedConnectionsRetreats, are both licensed clinicians who have worked together for years.  We are passionate about what we do, as we know that Nature is a powerful healer, and that intentional, nature-based experiences can positively impact individuals, families, and communities.  These results are scientifically-proven; click here to learn more!

Who We Serve

Our trips are designed  primarily for women, though we do offer some coed and family retreats.  Many of our destinations involve flat-water canoeing or kayaking, though we facilitate "front-country" experiences as well.  While we foster "expeditionary behavior" (helping with group tasks/gear), we do much of the heavy lifting for you. We partner with amazing organizations to provide comfortable gear and delicious meals .

Destinations

Our destinations include desert landscapes (The Colorado River, The Green River, etc), rainforest environments (Prince William Sound, Alaska; San Juan Islands, WA), tropical waters (The Everglades, Fl), and more.  Many of our trips are multi-day expeditions, though we also offer weekend workshops.  See where we are heading this year!
