Ethereal
Ethereal was born out of a passion for adventure and a love for the wild beauty of Alaska and Costa Rica. Founded by Ash, Ethereal emerged from countless remote adventures through wild landscapes with her husband, Brendan. Ethereal’s goal is to connect people with the outdoor world and their wild side, while promoting health and wellbeing.
Adventure
Ash has been an outdoor guide and educator for over a decade and has blended her skills and expertise to create wild trips with intention. She’s taught snowboarding, avalanche education, and yoga, and has guided on her mountain bike and class v rivers.
In her free time she’s splitboarding & snow machining, flying her small airplane around Alaska, mountain biking, kayaking, gardening, practicing yoga, and studying health concepts, aviation, and snow science. Ash holds a wilderness first responder cert amongst several other snow, whitewater, aviation, fitness, yoga, and health coaching certs.
The retreats are designed in a way that promote wild, exciting adventure, within a safe environment. We use adventure to connect with our natural world, diversify our perspectives, level up our education, improve our confidence, and improve our mental health and physical wellbeing. The Workshop Details page covers all of our adventure workshops during the trips - you can opt out or lean in.
Health and Wellness
For us health and wellness is about adopting small habits to lengthen and improve your quality of life. Our health and wellness retreats typically include movement and yoga, but there will be several elements of your trip that are intentionally crafted around your whole wellbeing.
There may be workshops with guest speakers, educators, and professionals, yoga, sound baths, nature integrations, writing prompts, meditation and visualization, cooking classes, or intentional time spent outside. The Workshop Details page covers all of our health and wellness workshops during the trips.

The majority of trips are beginner friendly, unless otherwise stated. While novices are welcome, it’s important to note that outdoor adventure is physical. If you aren’t used to doing any physical activity, you may want to prepare for the trip. We can always chat 1:1 about specifics.

If we were to fly you into the wilderness and drop you off next to a salmon stream, there’d be reason for concern but that’s not going to happen...
We’ll be steering clear of bears and their common areas, while dipping into wild adventures that are safe.
