My name is Sabrina and I will be the group leader during our adventure retreats. I love being outdoors and find joy in rock climbing, snowboarding, camping and swimming in lakes or oceans. I have been organizing events and meetups for since 2018 with the Lady Crush Crew women’s rock climbing community. I have helped lead bouldering day trips in Joshua Tree National Park and Stoney Point Park in Chatsworth, CA. Meeting new people and bringing folks together to create outdoor memories is something I am passionate about. I am excited to meet you during our retreats! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1626153547145-OAIKIA32Y87LJ8L7QQ85/alexh.JPG Meet the Team - Alex Haro Yoga Instructor, Lady Crush Crew Ambassador Hello! My name is Alex Haro. I am a yoga instructor, novice climber and outdoor conservation advocate. I have been practicing yoga and meditation for the past 10 years and finally made the decision to become a certified instructor in 2020. After being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease in 2017, my relationship with the practice deepened as it became one of my biggest physical and emotional healing tools. Through my practice, I began to feel empowered to try new things such as rock climbing, which led to my involvement as an ambassador for Lady Crush Crew. Being able to combine and build a community around two activities that make my heart flutter is something I am so grateful for. My goal is to encourage and motivate people to seek out and feel the same sense of empowerment within themselves. Currently, I volunteer my time to nonprofit organizations who focus on land conservation, outdoor education and creating a safe environment for beginners and seasoned climbers/adventurers alike to embrace the outdoors responsibly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/2794796b-bb9b-4be5-9ec2-ceb5a72ef2ed/april+pic.jpg Meet the Team - April Herrera Photographer, Lady Crush Crew Ambassador Hi!

My name is Sabrina and I am an adventure lifestyle photographer. I've had my camera in hand for almost 10 years and it was only natural to keep it with me when I started exploring the outdoors. I love being able to tell a story through images, especially candids that capture the action and emotion of adventures. I've been climbing for about 6 years and I currently work with local affinity groups in Los Angeles to keep highlighting underrepresented communities in climbing, and getting more people outdoors. Otherwise, you'll find me hiking, camping, climbing, and just enjoying a peaceful moment outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/a463a344-5635-409d-915e-1396ac6d47e6/shaedornan.jpg Meet the Team - Shae Dornan Group Leader, Lady Crush Crew Ambassador Hi all! My name is Shae and I’m a climber based out of LA. I work as an archaeologist and spend as much of my free time outdoors as I can. When I’m not climbing you can find me surfing (badly), skiing, or hiking. I also work with various non-profits to promote environmental stewardship by participating in, and planning a lot of events. I’ve been climbing for about 16 years now and love to share my stoke for the outdoors with anyone I meet, so come join us this fall! https://www.wildsideretreats.com/partners-sponsors daily 0.75 2022-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1bbc5004-5568-4246-914d-93c92134c2e6/LCC+Circle+Logo.png Partners & Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/031f50bf-ad25-4231-ac45-8175dd476be7/JTDCo+Full+Color+RGB-01.png Partners & Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1627514610061-CLM1QD6WG77UYMCQNQ4C/cragtocrux.jpg Partners & Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1948e4bc-6c75-4f07-b343-7642b4054b95/uprisingadventureguides.png Partners & Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/6686a9eb-4c21-4a70-8a5f-41b57911e2f3/alpenorganics.png Partners & Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/4c213f06-0225-4c59-9d6f-8b7a986c64b8/Screen-Shot-2016-08-04-at-1.09.06-PM.png Partners & Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1627514540857-1LDB5CVV4BFEBQZUBS2R/rhino%2Bskin.jpg Partners & Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/3b778bd3-b1b3-4c9c-9d65-36f33b98285f/tera-kaia-basewear-logo-2-black-LG.png Partners & Sponsors https://www.wildsideretreats.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-01-13 https://www.wildsideretreats.com/about daily 0.75 2022-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/1626143546359-MO475CJMLMFXDIFSXZK4/IMG_9836.jpg About Mission Our mission is to empower women (cis/trans) to explore their wild side through outdoor retreats and adventures.

My name is Sabrina and I am a Filipino-American fashion professional, rock climber, creator, traveler, hot yogi and cat mama. I am the Founder of Lady Crush Crew, a women’s rock climbing community focused on hosting meetups and events to empower women in the outdoors and local climbing gyms. I was introduced to bouldering in 2013, but I did not fall in love with the sport until I committed to a gym membership in 2017. Ever since then, rock climbing has been a part of my favorite outdoor memories with friends. Wildside Retreats began as a late night idea that manifested into reality during May 2021. From logo designers, climbing guides, yoga instructors and more, our partners consist of wild women who believe in the importance of creating space for ladies to connect with themselves in the great outdoors. Our retreats are for all those who are looking for an adventure and a fulfilling experience with like-minded women. We want to foster an environment where you can challenge yourself and overcome your fears by reaching new heights, all while empowering the women around you! So what are you waiting for? 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 2024-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/01dca51e-af93-4c6a-84ea-fec9dde7d6c5/kelly-24.jpg Book a Retreat - “I’ve been curious about using climbing to cross train for races and this was definitively the most kick ass way to try it out.

Thank you for the awesome time.” — Hanna https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/4f249ad2-5adb-4f79-bf15-027ab6f64162/annie-40.jpg Book a Retreat - “I have so much to share about my recent camping trip in California. This one is solely to serve appreciation to these special bad ass females in the trip. You all rock and it was such an inspiration to listen to your stories and journey in climbing. Thank you, Sabrina P., for hosting the perfect retreat where female climbers from all levels can openly explore their wild side! Thank you Uprising Adventure Guides for leading all our routes and teaching us the secrets in J Tree!

The rock climbing guides were AMAZING. I'd trust my life to them any day. I really liked the climbing focused learning: anchor building, rappelling, etc., was great to learn from experts. The accommodations blew me away and the food was so, so delicious.” — Megan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b92a2c149d2740ad6921c0/f415e3cd-c4f4-47ad-ab84-490d789b1114/ellen-13.jpg Book a Retreat - “I had an amazing time in Joshua Tree with Wildside Retreats and Uprising Adventure Guides, and a whole bunch of very impressive ladies!
