Just announced, Sisters in the Wild Slovenia 2021 is a community-building experience set to take place around beautiful Lake Bled this fall. Find all the details here…

The next Sisters in The Wild gathering was just announced for early September of this year in Slovenia. This isn’t a race or a trail riding event, but a community-building experience for women, non-binary, and trans folks. The Sisters in The Wild event was created to encourage women to push themselves in an environment where they can feel comfortable, giving them the opportunity to face their personal challenges in a supportive, pressure-free environment. Find the beautiful recap from the 2020 event here, and scroll down for the press release from SITW.

It’s time for us to meet, share our experiences and link up with new riding companions. Sharing struggles, fears, tears and laughs. Support each other climbing up the hills, talk under the starry sky and enjoy some hearty meals.

This is not a race, neither is it a riding event, but a community building experience.

The event will take place in Bled, a small town on the doorstep of the Julian Alps. We will pitch the tents on our private basecamp from where we will take daily rides, exploring Bled’s surroundings. After the legs tire out, we’ll return to the camp for a hearty meal beside a campfire.
