What to expect at our Lady Camp Retreats

Lady Camp and Lady Camp Livin are calling for wild or shy, playful or serious, freedom seeking women ages 18-108, to join us for unique every other month retreats, where you’re invited to deeply connect, foster empowerment, indulge in pleasure, and play amidst the serene woodlands in or near Nevada City, California. Come with an open heart, be unapologetically yourself and leave with a sense of transformation and ease.

We warmly extend an invitation for all our events to all who identify with womanhood, regardless of gender identity or expression. The ticket price encompasses all classes, meals, and accommodations. Some bodywork or photo sessions cost extra. For further details regarding the instructors and course offerings, please follow our social media channels or email Melanya.

  • Grief • Gratitude • Movement

    🌿 A Nourishing Gathering for the Seasons, Self, and Community

    An intimate gathering for women & femme-identified folks who want to slow down, feel more, and connect in body and presence all while tending to grief and gratitude. 3 Melas, group sleeping and classes all included.

    Our wonderful host is the Wild Grace Community™ where their mission is to join together to allow the flowering of the Divine in themselves, each other, and their larger community to co-create with Spirit. They look forward to sharing the beautiful temple, views, pool and hot tub with you all.

    $50 extra for private sleeping accommodations until they fill up.


  • Join us for a weekend of staycationing at a wonderful home in Sattley, Ca where we will play games, do some art and soak in the Hotsprings and enjoy a couple classes if we want to! You’ll need to sign up for your own day pass at the hotspings for whatever day you’d like to soak. Likely the group will be there Saturday. We recommend getting a 24 hour camping pass as it’s the best bang for your buck but you’ll be staying the two nights in home nearby. Food is provided and we will share the cooking for this Lady Camp Livin.

  • Come back later for more info.

  • This is a flat 6 mile round trip backpacking experience where we will spend two nights in the woods relaxing and swimming, taking pictures and enjoying a sense of freedom we often experienced in childhood. Location provided with registration.

  • We gather for this 4 day retreat where around 20 teachers offer various workshops for the mind, heart, body, and soul. And the food is gourmet and mostly organic for this retreat and all of the gatherings!

  • “Lady Camp nourished both my inner girl spirit and my grown woman soul! Everything about the experience was fun, uplifting and had a friendly cozy vibe. Sisterhood and sovereignty in the woods is something we should all experience. My intention was rejuvenation, and I definitely accomplished that!”

  • "I loved everything about Lady Camp and wished it was longer and would describe the overall atmosphere and community vibe as empowering, joyful, and inspiring and I thought the food was amazing."

  • "Morgan Perry talking about menopause blew our freaking minds!!”

  • “I Loved Lady Camp. Next year I want to go to the breast health and uterine health and to all the morning circles. The acupuncture and chanting was just amazing!!! I Loved the crafts. There was so much good stuff it was hard to choose. Lady camp was empowering and enlightening. So many sweet open minded people all just accepting everyone as you are. It was a beautiful weekend so full of love and human connection. The Yoni Massage class and Acupuncture were my favorites. I can’t wait to go next year!”

  • “I felt free to discover me in the moment. I loved being able to come and go with all the different areas and enjoyed sleeping in the cabins!”

  • "I got so much incredible feedback from my offering at the talent show."

  • “I had a really beautiful time - Melanya's expansive care, playfulness, and openness bled into every aspect of the event. As a brown person I was really nervous about not finding resonance or relatedness, but by the end of the weekend I felt so held, joyful, and empowered by the community! I definitely feel there is more opportunity to expand in racial/gender identity inclusion, but it feels like you and your tribe are seeking that growth already. Thank you for everything, you’re a very beautiful light of a human being!!!”

How It Works: Our Mission and Philosophy

Lady Camp (Livin) is an every other month retreat welcoming adult women, trans and nonbinary folks, BIPOC, queer people, and disabled folks in all body sizes. We offer an inclusive, playful space to nurture wellbeing, creativity, pleasure, empowerment, and inner-child healing.

Our goal is to gather in the nourishment of shared wonder and curiosity, sharing skills and tools to foster community, creativity, and collaboration, and is a chance for reflection, connection and deep healing on both individually as well as globally.

  • Browse our upcoming events to find the one that feels right for you. This year they are offered every other month.

  • Sign up and pay all required fees to reserve your spot. If plans change, you can cancel up to 14 days before the retreat begins to receive a 50% refund. All funds kept go to the scholarship fund. Limited Volunteer spots available.

  • After booking, we'll send you a Welcome Email with everything you need to know—detailed schedules, packing list recommendations, and more.

  • We'd recommend booking your transportation to and from the event as soon as possible, to ensure you can arrive without any complications or delays. Carpooling is encouraged and the closest airports are Sacramento and Reno.

  • Now all that's left to do is pack your bags and get excited for your new adventure. The address and packing lists are forthcoming via email.
