Book Your Adventure

Rise Up Retreats is an experience that is a MUST in these days of always being on the go and the pressure to be in a hustle culture. I've done a few of these hikes led by Rachelle, and the way she goes about it, it truly makes you stop, slow down, and be present in nature both in your mind and body. The mindset journaling we did is something I'd love to do on my own, but never know what to write about nor do I keep accountable to that. But she makes it feel effortless and it is just an amazing experience tied in with everything else. 10/10 recommend!"

I did an out and back hike to Great Falls and was Gung Ho! about the hike, but as the hike continued, I worried I wouldn’t be able to complete the hike back. I seriously doubted my abilities. Rachelle was doing well and I was telling myself that I couldn’t do it. When we got to the halfway point, we stopped to rest and talked. I didn’t want to let Rachelle down or dissappoint her. I was repeatedly telling myself “You can’t do it, just call it quits. At least you did half the hike.”

Rachelle validated my anxiety and gave me a pep talk. Ultimately the decision was mine, but she kept saying she believed in me and would help me the whole way back. I decided to keep pushing, and we ended up completing the hike! On the way back we took more breaks and it was really rewarding as we talked about plants and saw animals including deer and a red-tail hawk!

The closer I got to the end, the prouder I was. I was exhausted but I felt so incredibly proud of myself. I would not have been able to Rise Up without Rachelle. My confidence in myself has grown, and I know I can do more than I thought.

Rachelle was awesome! She did a great job reading the vibe of our group and meeting us where we were all at. We enjoyed moments of peacefulness soaking in the sights and sounds, and learned about the ecosystem along the way, which helped connect to the space we were experiencing. The reflection was well thought out and helped tie it all together. I appreciated that I felt safe the whole time walking with a group of gals, since I normally wouldn’t go walking alone out in nature. And I came away feeling filled up and refreshed! Highly recommend!

I recommend Rise Up Retreats for anyone looking to be in nature while diving into yourself. I had the opportunity to go on a hike led by Rachelle just after a death in my family. It was so comforting to be surrounded by nature and listening to her thought prompts along the way. It truly helped me find some peace during a very difficult time. I’m grateful for Rachelle’s leadership, the fun facts she shares, and her focus on mindset and wellness.
