A Women’s Mountain Getaway – Reclaiming Joy in Nature

Reclaiming Joy in Nature
A Women’s Mountain Getaway | March 5–7, 2027
Bring a friend. Laugh often. Reclaim a little joy.
Two nights. All meals. Mountain adventures. Meaningful connection. And a whole lot of laughter.
Join us at Nature’s Getaway Mountain Resort in Nordegg, Alberta, for a thoughtfully hosted weekend designed to bring a little more joy, adventure, and connection into your life.
Come with a friend or come on your own. We’ve taken care of the details so you can simply arrive, relax, and enjoy the experience.
When Was the Last Time You Felt Completely Alive?
Not because you accomplished something.
Not because you checked another box.
Not because anyone expected anything from you.
Just because your heart felt light.
Somewhere along the way, many of us have misplaced a little joy.
Life became schedules, responsibilities, work, and caring for everyone else.
Reclaiming Joy in Nature is a weekend designed to remind us that wellness isn’t only found in stillness. It also lives in laughter, adventure, friendship, wonder, and the moments that make us feel fully alive.
Because joy isn’t something we have to earn.
It’s something we deserve to experience.

We’ve planned the details, prepared the experiences, and made room for a little spontaneity along the way.

The Nordegg Amazing Race
One of the highlights of our weekend!
Together with your teammate, you’ll explore Nordegg through creative challenges, hidden clues, unexpected adventures, and memorable experiences celebrating everything we love about this mountain community.
It’s not about being the fastest or the most competitive.
It’s about curiosity, teamwork, shared laughter, and creating stories you’ll still be telling long after the weekend ends.
Expect a few surprises along the way!
Discover Nature’s Hidden Gems
There’s something about fresh mountain air, towering trees, and quiet forest trails that helps us reconnect with ourselves.
We’ll head outdoors for a guided local hike, sharing some of Nordegg’s beautiful trails, hidden gems, and the stories that make this place so special.
You don’t need to be an experienced hiker. The experience is about enjoying the journey, noticing the little things, and spending time together in nature.
Good Food. Great Company.
Some of life’s best moments happen around a table.
Throughout the weekend, we’ll gather to enjoy comforting home-cooked meals, homemade baking, fresh coffee, and, of course, world-famous homemade pie from Miners’ Café.
All meals are included, including Saturday lunch.
No grocery lists. No cooking responsibilities. No wondering what’s for dinner.
Just good food, warm hospitality, and the pleasure of sharing a meal together.
Your Mountain Home
Welcome to Nature’s Getaway Mountain Resort, a cozy, welcoming place tucked among the trees in Nordegg, Alberta. Our thoughtfully appointed cabins offer the perfect balance of privacy and connection, with comfortable bedrooms and inviting shared spaces.
- Soak in the outdoor hot tubs beneath the stars.
- Gather around a crackling fire.
- Enjoy a quiet coffee surrounded by nature.
- Or simply curl up and enjoy a little time to yourself.
It’s all the little touches that make Nature’s Getaway feel like a home away from home.
Come as You Are
Thinking about coming on your own? A little nervous about joining a group of women you haven’t met?
We understand.
Not everyone is outgoing. Not everyone loves group activities. And sometimes taking time for ourselves can feel a little unfamiliar.
That’s why we intentionally create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels included, comfortable, and free to simply be themselves. There’s room for the quiet ones, the adventurous ones, the thoughtful ones, and the ones who just need a little time away. You can join in, step back, laugh out loud, or find a peaceful moment to yourself.
You belong just as you are.
Time to Simply Be
While our weekend includes adventure and shared experiences, we’ve also intentionally made space for rest.
- Take a quiet walk through the forest.
- Spend an unhurried morning with coffee.
- Soak beneath the stars.
- Share stories around the fire.
- Or do absolutely nothing for a little while. Because sometimes joy arrives in the most ordinary moments.
Hosted with Heart
Your hosts, Lucinda Watkins and Tanya Koshowski, believe some of life’s most meaningful moments happen when people feel welcomed, cared for, and free to be themselves.
We’ve designed this gathering with intention, warmth, and a little playful spirit, creating opportunities for genuine connection, shared experiences, and memories that stay with us long after we return home.
You’ll Leave With…
A full camera roll.
A lighter heart.
New inside jokes.
Fresh mountain air in your lungs.
A few new connections.
And perhaps most importantly…
The reminder that joy has never really left you. Sometimes it simply needs a little space to be reclaimed.
Ready to Reclaim a Little Joy?
Bring your favourite friend, or come ready to make a new one.
Your complete weekend experience includes cozy accommodations (for overnight guests), homemade meals, and thoughtfully hosted activities.
Spaces are limited to keep the gathering personal and welcoming.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the mountains.
