Escape the boardroom or home office and step into the wild! Wilderness & Wealth is an outdoor business retreat designed for ambitious women who are ready to sharpen their skills—both in business and in adventure!

As busy women, conquering multiple mountains at one time can be the key to success. That's why we're using the power of nature; to ground, focus, and amplify us, to lay a receptive foundation for what you will learn and do during this event.

This unique experience blends campfire conversations with powerhouse workshops and playful movement opportunities to let the creativity soar. Picture yourself brainstorming big ideas in a hammock, celebrating wins under the stars, and gaining confidence as you conquer both entrepreneurial hurdles and outdoor adventures.

You’ll leave feeling stronger, more focused, and wildly inspired, with a refreshed vision for your business and a sisterhood of fearless women by your side.

Are you ready to unleash your potential in the great outdoors? Join us at Wilderness & Wealth! 

Day registration and camping registration available!

Colleen Flaherty 

Hometown: New Hill, NC
Time rucking: 1.5 years

Bio: Colleen is a nature junkie who can't get enough of spending time outside in the wilds of Mother Earth! She never says no to an outdoor activity although strength training with odd objects, sand, and rucking is her favorite!

As the founder of Rucking Women, her support of women has been a lifelong journey. Starting in her teens as a soccer player, soccer coach at 16, then certified personal trainer at 23. She coached pregnant women and moms for 10 years before starting her rucking group MotherRuckersNC and training women outdoors on her and her fiance's property. 

Even though fitness is how she outwardly supports women, Colleen is also passionate about personal growth and emotional awareness.

When she's not working or rucking, Colleen is a fur mom to 3 dogs, 2 cats, and fiance to Waylon! She loves fantasy thriller, historical, and mystery novels, tea, and learning to play D&D with her all-lady group
