Days of Badassery are convenient ways to experience new and empowering activities, have totally new perceptions of yourself, while also meeting incredible, high-achieving, women who become friends.

Days of Badassery are convenient ways to experience new and empowering activities, have totally new perceptions of yourself, while also meeting incredible, high-achieving, women who become friends...

WHAT TO EXPECT:

A mix of "Grit" experiences that make you feel, badass:

  • Archery
  • Lasso
  • Knot-Tying
  • Fire-Building
  • Wilderness Skills
  • Car Jump-Starting (& a few tips so you don't get ripped off by a mechanic ever again!)
  • And more! (Including some chickens!)

And then, we'll dress-up for dinner to celebrate the "Grace" in us with:

  • Real discussion in a luxurious glamping lounge

  • Wine & cocktails

  • 3-course meal served by a private chef

  • All new dining experience in a candlelit glamping tent

You’ll leave rejuvenated and motivated with confidence you can do anything — and you’ll have a whole new tribe of worthy women supporting you. You may start the day as strangers, but you will absolutely leave with new friends.

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

When was the last time you did something for the first time? We all know that learning new things and getting outside our comfort zones build the beneficial neuroplasticity in our brains, increase our confidence, and expand our possibilities. But when is that ever scheduled on our Google calendars?

Days of Badassery are convenient ways to experience new and empowering activities, have totally new perceptions of yourself, while also meeting incredible, high-achieving, women who become friends, rather than LinkedIn connections. It's soul-feeding, badass networking. Who ever thought that possible?

Each experience is filled with a different mix activities ranging from archery, fire-building, to jump-starting cars, drumming, to poker and even knitting!

We'll have a quick-change for dinner into our fanciest outfits, and gather in beautiful 200-year-old log cabin, where a private chef will serve us an amazing three-course meal. We'll share wine and stories under the stars and you'll leave with new friends, new ideas to invigorate your career, and your soul fed!

WHAT TO WEAR

You're going to need two outfits!  Come in your super comfy athletic/outdoor gear, sneakers or hiking boots, and layers for the weather. We will be outside for part of the day (grit, baby). Coats, hats, gloves, rain jackets, sunscreen — dress to be outside (you know the drill, not your first rodeo). And then, for the evening -- bring  a dress or something you feel great in (grace,  baby)! Have an outfit you wish you had a place to wear? This is the place! We will do a quick change before we sit down for dinner. (Heels are unnecessary - basically ever, but definitely on a DoB.)

HOW TO GET HERE

Train: If you're coming from the city, you can take the Hudson Line from Grand Central up to the Croton-Harmon Station. Please take the 12:35PM express train that gets in at 1:29PM and transportation will be provided from the station to the Homestead (and back again, unless you opt for an Uber to take you home).

Car: If you're driving, plan to arrive no later than 1:45PM so we can start promptly at 2:PM.

Plane: The closest airport is White Plains (25 minutes away) and Ubers are easily accessible.
