I’ll be your group leader for our adventure retreats! I’ve always felt most at home outdoors. Whether rock climbing, snowboarding, camping, or swimming in lakes and oceans. Nature has long been where I reset, connect, and feel most alive. Since 2018, I’ve been building and leading community through Lady Crush Crew, a women’s rock climbing collective centered around outdoor meetups, connection, and shared experience. Through this work, I’ve helped organize and lead bouldering trips in places like Joshua Tree National Park and Stoney Point Park in Chatsworth, CA. Creating space for people to come together in nature and share meaningful outdoor experiences is what continues to inspire me most. I’m looking forward to sharing time in the outdoors with you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1626153547145-OAIKIA32Y87LJ8L7QQ85/alexh.JPG Meet the Team - Alex Yoga Instructor & Retreat Leader Hi, I’m Alex. I’m a yoga instructor, climber, and outdoor advocate with a deep commitment to movement, nature, and community. I’ve been practicing yoga and meditation for over a decade, and in 2020 I chose to become a certified instructor to share the practice more intentionally with others. My relationship with yoga deepened significantly in 2017 after being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition. During that time, the practice became a grounding force that supported both my physical and emotional healing, and ultimately inspired me to expand into new experiences in the outdoors, including rock climbing. That path led me to become an ambassador for Lady Crush Crew, where I’ve been able to help support a community built around connection, confidence, and time spent outside. Today, I’m also involved in conservation and outdoor education initiatives that support land stewardship and help create safe, welcoming spaces for people of all experience levels to explore the outdoors. I’m passionate about creating environments where people feel supported to move, grow, and reconnect with themselves through nature and practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/a463a344-5635-409d-915e-1396ac6d47e6/shaedornan.jpg Meet the Team - Shae Retreat Assistant & Lady Crush Crew Ambassador Hi, I’m Shae! I’m a climber based in Los Angeles, working professionally as an archaeologist, with most of my free time spent outdoors. I’ve been climbing for over 16 years, and it remains a constant thread in my life, something that continues to challenge, inspire, and connect me to community. Alongside climbing, I’m often surfing (with varying success), skiing, or hiking whenever I can, and I also work with nonprofit organizations focused on environmental stewardship, conservation, and creating more responsible access to outdoor spaces through events and community initiatives. What I love most is sharing time outside with others and helping people feel at home in the outdoors, wherever they are in their journey. I’m excited to share the experience with you this fall! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/3afd5b9e-d3b0-429e-86db-3d492b7dacd0/8U7A4761.jpg Meet the Team - Sabrina Photographer & Videographer Hi everyone! I’m Sabrina, an adventure and lifestyle photographer and videographer focused on capturing movement, connection, and life in the outdoors. I’ve had a camera in my hand for nearly 10 years, and it naturally became part of my time outside, documenting the moments that feel most alive, especially the candid in-between moments of adventure. I’ve been climbing for about 6 years, and my work has grown through collaborations with local affinity groups in Los Angeles, highlighting underrepresented communities in climbing and helping more people feel seen and welcomed in outdoor spaces. When I’m not shooting, I’m usually outside climbing, hiking, camping, or simply taking in quiet moments in nature. I’m excited to help capture your experience and the energy of our time together on retreat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/26e29573-9c93-48b5-8cd6-f65415eecaaf/guides-9.jpg Meet the Team - Sue Owner of Uprising Adventure Guides Sue has been climbing for over 25 years, beginning her journey in Eldorado Canyon, Colorado. Since then, she has climbed extensively around the world, including Africa, Asia, Nepal, Europe, and throughout North America, developing a deep foundation in both rock and alpine environments. Her guiding experience spans some of the most iconic climbing regions in the United States, including Yosemite, Tuolumne, the Tetons, the Wind River Range, Joshua Tree, and the Shawangunks. In addition to rock climbing, she is experienced in mountaineering and ice climbing. Sue has worked with Yosemite Search and Rescue and the American Alpine Club, bringing a strong background in safety, leadership, and education to her guiding work. Before fully dedicating herself to guiding, she held leadership roles in the corporate technology sector, including Director of Technology at GMAC and Vice President of Consulting for TIE Commerce in Amsterdam. After taking a leave to help build a school in Nepal, she transitioned fully into the outdoor industry and later took over Uprising Adventure Guides, where she now guides and leads full time. She is an AMGA Certified Top Rope Site Manager and has completed the Rock Instructor Course, and has spent much of her career teaching others how to climb with confidence and care. https://www.wildsideretreats.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-01-13 https://www.wildsideretreats.com/about daily 0.75 2026-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1626143546359-MO475CJMLMFXDIFSXZK4/IMG_9836.jpg About Mission Our mission is to empower women to reconnect with their wild through immersive outdoor retreats and adventure.

I’ve always felt most at home outdoors - climbing, snowboarding, camping, or surfing. That relationship with nature has shaped how I move through the world and how I create. I’m the Founder of Lady Crush Crew, a women’s climbing community rooted in connection, movement, and time spent outside. My relationship with climbing began in 2013 and became a consistent practice in 2017, grounding me in presence, discipline, and growth. Wildside Retreats began in 2021 as a quiet idea that evolved through collaboration with guides, instructors, and creatives who believe in the transformative power of time in nature and shared experience. Before this, I spent a decade in fashion merchandising. I eventually stepped away to build Wildside Retreats full time and bring my dream to life. In 2025, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in Bali and now teach across climbing gyms and hot yoga studios in Southern California, blending strength, mindfulness, and embodied practice. Wildside Retreats is for women drawn to expansion, adventure, and meaningful connection. We create intentional experiences in nature where you can move freely, reconnect deeply, and return home more grounded, open, and alive. Your wild side is calling. https://www.wildsideretreats.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-06-29 https://www.wildsideretreats.com/desert-drift-house daily 0.75 2021-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/fd2e47c6-3e40-4c41-b88b-393b28741007/7e2f7f69-917b-4921-b929-608e91d308f3.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/73d05868-b642-4e23-b2d8-f4d47846c03d/2cd6eddd-ec20-4282-8ebf-67d8afc04be3.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/70f35843-3bb0-418f-b37a-993fb8978bf8/0fb4c032-e82e-4093-9519-952b664646e0.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/5cd638ee-72e8-494b-9e63-f6a46c04af8a/d7b5ede9-b3b2-4b7a-931d-6167c80de34c.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/63854d5a-a3d7-405a-ad58-f17e61cbaea6/b9254bf7-decd-4fd3-ac2e-321784deef91.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/ea4207bc-ec29-4f6d-959a-cc4116dcfb21/260bc4ce-73be-4239-82c2-1199be697e33.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/24c789e5-3254-46e9-b3d2-3078141b2160/da4d1ddb-df88-4c2c-b443-2170c4fbf966.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/b081182f-5291-4179-8e5a-20ba7a5cb9ff/a5d58074-23d3-431d-8a50-522b6f4f72db.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/348ba20c-c9f3-4b77-b4aa-ba0f04a1ab1e/d70bce87-25e1-4d70-b2fe-3337d1c6b650.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/21933fd3-7c9a-441c-907d-4b9633f31e3b/e32577b6-ade3-4d33-8afb-748ecd3a8bcb.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/117261c1-3415-4bfd-a224-cc2fc028bfe7/9c3d9d24-a26b-44c1-8310-ee4779e9a404.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/e07a14c5-7c82-438c-bfe8-3a927cfd0106/6895816a-dc1d-4549-984a-5be0b9502230.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/24fa31f9-e5bd-4e54-b4d0-847e2d332b4b/5fe6f734-8c3d-4ebc-9f21-e38fd2eb70ac.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/f575c3f0-5606-4ade-9178-f2013dbdacd4/8e356d9f-c951-4d11-a694-3ca723a724a7.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/2e902d5f-037c-49b2-ad60-7cb2d6c0bb19/b28f6fca-7a47-461f-9c21-7859b4a5f896.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/9ceb1128-fc87-4182-8692-ecd72a5a0832/10b1b305-9906-41cd-bdc7-1b32ddf7f32f.jpeg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/41c3107f-e503-442d-b03d-6fdf6935b352/aa59f321-e8eb-44cf-8d07-c3417f4f8041.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/f5c43f8d-56cb-4ea3-aa3a-5024484d60b8/bb8b2a22-3752-48b7-84f2-ecd1e047e346.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/d121b929-1b80-4304-84a2-ec8073409ff1/43602ee3-7e67-4327-b71c-dd858e9300f6.jpg Desert Drift House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/f3c5f487-9f9a-4d44-904d-6ccd15e94979/fdd6c6a2-557e-416c-95c4-611bde44f02f.jpg Desert Drift House https://www.wildsideretreats.com/retreats daily 0.75 2026-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/8df7f618-204a-4bd1-9dfc-361a4c4b3516/1J2A5789.jpg Book a Retreat - “Awesome retreat!!!
