Alaska. Mollie. Anna. & Me. Yoga. Hiking. Mountains. Tea. Laughter. Deep Conversations. Crafts. Leadership. Ritual. A whole lot of adventure. A little bit of magic. And so much goodness in the space between.

Alaska, continued… One of my favorite things about returning to @arctichiveak is watching Mollie & Sean grow their dog team over the years. Last spring there were new puppies, plenty of snow, and the incredible experience of mushing my own team. This trip, no snow and no mushing. But LOTS of dog love. It’s pretty special getting to know these dogs, watching them grow, and coming back to their familiar furry faces.

That’s a wrap on our early winter retreats at @arctichiveak — including our Harvest of the Heart 4-night hiking and Aurora retreat, and SHELeads 7-night advanced yoga training. There were so many glorious tundra hikes, aurora shows, guests crushing it having to hike in their own gear, stunning views, mala making 📿, watercolor time, tea tastings, ice skating without ice skates, sled dog snuggles, and so much yoga it makes my heart sing. Gratitude for all these adventurous humans is currently overflowing in my heart — thank you for coming to learn and grow in the Brooks Range with @seanbusby and me. It’s an honor to show you our backyard!

Third time visiting Mollie & Sean at @arctichiveak, and somehow this place just keeps finding new ways to blow my mind. This trip was for my 300-hour yoga teacher training, and I’m coming home with so many experiences to reflect on, lessons to absorb, and new things to integrate into my life and practice. There’s a lot to unpack. A lot to share. But first… THE SKY. More to come. ✨

What if this is the end…of summer? 😉 Nearly every weekend, we headed out on an adventure just in case “this is the end of summer.” As if I needed an excuse to soak up one more weekend of summer in Alaska. 🍂 Now — it IS the end of summer. The seasons are shifting. It looks AND feels like fall. Soon, winter will be here, too. My absolute favorite season in Alaska. If you think summer looks good on Alaska, just wait until you see her in the winter. ❄️ Here’s your opportunity… 🧭 Winter Within Women’s Wilderness Retreat 🗓️ Feb 23-28, 2027 🌲 Curated by @evergreenexploration 🥾 Led by @garnersloveinsta and @mollieofthenorth 📱 Comment “ARCTIC” for details on how to join us Turn inward, venture outward, and embrace the magic of winter in the far north.

Eight years of building a life — and @arctichiveak — in the Brooks Range with @seanbusby. I’m a winter girl — and with approx. 60 frost-free days a year, this is about as summery as I’m willing to get. The best part about the summer solstice (other than 24 hrs of daylight!) is that winter is officially on its way 🥳 Summers over the past eight years have been filled with tons of build projects, tundra hikes with friends, and soaking up the magic of the boreal forest. I learn and grow more every season I spend here, and today, I truly feel a sense of belonging in this place. What a gift it is to do life here ❤️ 2026 — We are finishing the lodge interior, still in process… stay tuned for the reveal! (Yes, that’s @taylorswift in my ear buds on repeat) 2025 — Tundra hikes with our growing sled dog team 2025 — We were raising and drying in the lodge 2024 — Arctic entry + the start of our lodge 2024 — Enjoying the soothing act of procuring firewood with fall colors 2023 - Hiking with friends 2023 — Maintenance on all existing structures 2022 — Building our HOUSE! 💪 2022 — Finally… a roof! 2021 — Building my yoga studio 2021 — building a fourth cabin 2021 - Dog team was growing, and being put to work! (Including sweet Darla who was new to us that year, and puppy Tussock, who you can hear in the background of this video) 2020 — building our first three guest cabins 2020 - Cabin progress! 2020 — building our first three guest cabins 2019 — Hauling in our first round of lumber and supplies to build the igloo 2019 - The first structure, before the igloo, before the dog yard… our tent! 2019 — no idea what we’re getting ourselves into, but 100% ready for the wild ride!
