Picture this: you’re standing at the trailhead, wondering if you’re ready. The path ahead feels like more than just a hike—it’s a challenge, and maybe even a little intimidating. But something inside you says, “I want this.” You’re craving strength, adventure, and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.

Now imagine this: 12 weeks later, you’re on the trail again, but everything feels different. You’re stronger, more confident, and moving with purpose. You know how to handle the terrain, read the weather, and trust your instincts. Hiking has become your space for adventure, clarity, and connection, and you’re surrounded by women who’ve supported you every step of the way.

Join us for Hike-Ready, an exciting online program designed for women who are eager to enhance their hiking experience whilst connecting with nature and building a supportive community.

Love from last years Hike-Ready participants:

“Do it!…I will be repeating the course in February and will be joining lotus's hikes in 2025”

“Definitely get into Hike Ready - Lotus is a great facilitator and the course is top notch for any women wanting to feel confident and safe to hike”

“I’ve always admired and wanted to be a hiker but never thought I was fit or strong enough and didn’t know where to start. I was scared to go alone and no idea about safety with dangerous fauna or what to do if there’s a snake…. I learnt so much through Nature Ritual from the right clothes to wear, how to pack a bag to staying safe and first aid. I loved the community and felt so supported with Lotus to achieve my goals!”

“Hike-Ready got me making and keeping goals and now I’m walking daily with hikes every other weekend. It’s so fun, supportive and Lotus is so knowledgeable. Highly recommend!”
