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.

  • “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!!!”
