Are you ready to move, connect, and nourish your body and soul? Lace up your hiking shoes and join us for a refreshing 1 hour fitness hike through scenic trails that promise stunning views and invigorating climbs.

After our energising hike, we’ll gather for a nourishing shared 2 course brunch, allowing you to build meaningful connections with local women who are also on their wellness journeys. Don’t miss this chance to empower yourself, connect with nature, and create lasting friendships. After brunch the afternoon will be spent connecting deeper with nature through mindfulness practices.

RETURNING 2026
'Connecting with nature was a way to return back to myself while experiencing anxiety'
Lotus is a Nature Connection Mentor, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and professionally trained Outdoor Leader specialising in hiking. Through her business Nature Ritual, she offers transformative women’s hiking and yoga experiences, nature-based retreats, and 90-day transformational programs designed to empower women and help them reconnect with their true essence.
For years, Lotus was a self-proclaimed party girl chasing freedom across the globe - yet beneath the adventure, she found herself caught in cycles of anxiety, escapism, and habits that left her feeling disconnected and restless. It was in nature, away from the noise, that she finally found her way home. In nature’s stillness, she discovered the medicine of presence - a deep remembering that she was never separate from the world around her.
These insights became the catalyst for profound change. Lotus began to release patterns that no longer served her, including her relationship with alcohol, reclaiming clarity, purpose, and connection to life itself. That awakening set her on a path to guide and support others.
Since then, Lotus has immersed herself in the study of nature-based healing, embodied leadership, and the interconnected wisdom of ecology, mindfulness, and movement. A seasoned traveller who has hiked everywhere from Patagonia to Nepal to Alaska, she now channels her lived experience and professional training into guiding others.
Through Nature Ritual, Lotus helps women step into the wild - both within and without - to feel grounded, inspired, and deeply connected through nature, movement, and mindful adventure.
Lotus works in collaboration with Loving HOME Foundation to deliver transformative experiences to women.

Welcome to Your Women's Hiking, Nature Connection & Adventure Community!
This is a private community group run by Nature Ritual founder Lotus Woodrow to empower more women get outdoors through hiking, connection, education, skills building and fun adventures AND build lasting friendships. This is not your usual hiking group, this is an intentional community which promotes genuine life-long connections and deeper conversations. Think of it as women’s circle meets hiking and adventure with a little nature connection and mindfulness thrown in!
