The Hike to Become® Experience

A leadership experience designed to step into who you are becoming.

Come as you are. Leaving knowing what’s next.

Dates: NOVEMBER 12th-15th, 2026

Location: Private estate outside of Boise, Idaho

What’s Included: Accommodations, private chef-prepared organic farm-to-table meals, guided hikes and adventure excursions: natural hot springs and epic mountain hikes, leadership conversations around the campfire and an experience designed to create a community.

Who it’s for: Executive women in leadership roles who crave to step into their next level of authentic leadership. Women who carry everything for everyone else. Women who need a campfire community of others to help them navigate what’s next and enjoy the journey more. If this feels like you, this is your campfire.

Itinerary: This is the unexpected part. Some moments ask more of you than a weekend away. This is one of those moments. Three nights and two full days to step out of the noise, into the mountains, and out of your comfort zone to ask the hard questions you’ve been circling. Not to fix everything. But to finally hear yourself think. Exploring the leadership principals of The Wild Advantage, and discovering yours along the way.

“I’ve never hiked like this before. If you ever want to be brave and if you want to step outside of your comfort zone in order to elevate yourself and the team around you, please do a retreat with Jessica. I have had the most epic experience, and I feel changed.”

-Beth Mund - executive Director, Stories of Space™

“We were working, but it didn’t necessarily feel like work. We weren’t forced into a conference room to nail down our details of our strategic plan or our vision. It was a really cool experience to see how it all came together so effortlessly at the end.”

-Aubrie Latimore - co-founder, Adley & Elm

The Experience

Come for the mountains. Leave with clarity.

The Hike to Become® Experience is designed for:

Executives questioning the next chapter in their life.
Leaders navigating a promotion, a role change or a life event.
High achievers who feel ready to ask: “who am I, if my career no longer defines me?”

Four days in the mountains outside Boise. Think: limited cell phone reception and the type of real human connection that is almost impossible to create in a traditional setting. Most retreats hand you a journal, a yoga class, and a pep talk. This one hands you four days in nature with people around the campfire asking the same questions you are.

You'll hike mountain trails and plunge in waterfalls. You'll sit around a fire with other executives, business professionals, and leaders figuring out their own version of what's next. You'll do the kind of thinking that never happens in offices, behind screens or while you’re trying too hard to figure it all out.

Facilitated by Jessica DeAngelo. Produced end to end by Hike to Become®. You show up. Everything else is handled. The location, the meals, the hikes, the guided questions to unlock clarity. Your only job is show up.

Experience Testimonials

Here’s what leaders who have hit the trails with us say…

"I have had the most epic experience."

“I’ve never hiked like this before. If you ever want to be brave and if you want to step outside of your comfort zone in order to elevate yourself and the team around you, please do a retreat with Jessica. I have had the most epic experience, and I feel changed.”
-Beth Mund - executive Director, Stories of Space™
"Jessica understood my vision."

“After decades of running businesses, I’d grown skeptical of most coaches and consultants—but Jessica quickly set herself apart with integrity, insight, and consistent follow-through. From meaningful trail conversations to focused strategy sessions, we co-created a business plan, refined my bio, and elevated my brand—on time, on budget, and completely aligned with my vision.”
- Dr. Zane Sterling, Build Your Legacy Life

"She helped us re-vision our work with clarity."

“There’s nothing like sun and fresh air—with skilled direction and humor from Jessica—to spark insight and alignment. She helped us gel as a group and re-vision our work with clarity. She got us out into nature where we dove inwardly to explore the group’s mission. It was a welcome break that sparked new side-conversations and revelations.”
Noah Goldstein, Ph.D - Sustainability Construction Lead - Google
“She found her purpose and through that helped us define and enact ours.”

“It was obvious to all that she has found her purpose—and through that, she helped us define and enact ours. We left the session with clarity, alignment, and energy to move forward. What started as a plan to build a 3-year strategy turned into a desire to do this annually. That’s how powerful and energizing the process was.”
Lisa Conway, Chief Revenue Officer - Gen Phoenix & Building Transparency Board Member
