Wild Hearts, Gentle Giants
Wild Hearts, Gentle Giants is a thoughtfully curated, half-day immersive experience designed to deepen connection â with nature, with others, and with yourself. Created for women craving presence over performance, this gathering invites reverence, reflection, and shared meaning in true Girls Gone Mild Adventures style.
At the heart of the day is a rare, private elephant encounter offered in an ethical, sanctuary-style setting and limited to just 10 women for an intimate, unrushed experience.
During this unforgettable one-hour guided encounter, youâll step into the role of caretaker as you:
Help prepare the elephantsâ breakfast
Offer their favorite treats
Ask questions and learn directly from their caretakers
Experience safe, respectful touch and take unforgettable photos
Assist in bathing one of the elephants
This hour is intentionally designed to be immersive yet mindful â spacious enough to feel meaningful, grounded, and deeply memorable, while honoring the elephantsâ well-being and natural rhythms.
Following the encounter, weâll remain onsite for a guided group reflection and journaling experience, creating space to integrate what these gentle giants so effortlessly model: presence, quiet strength, intuition, and community. Youâll be invited to reflect, share (if you wish), and anchor insights that can be carried into everyday life.
Weâll then transition together to an offsite group lunch, fully included and an integral part of the experience. This final gathering allows us to slow down, connect, and seal the sense of sisterhood cultivated throughout the day â because the experience doesnât end when the encounter does.
The pace of the day is unhurried and grounding, allowing you to truly arrive, soften, and be present from start to finish.
Nothing needed on your end - just an open heart, curiosity, and a willingness to slow down.
Come as you are.
Care for something extraordinary.
Leave feeling rooted, expanded, and deeply connected.
