Eating Mongolian food and taking a cooking class.
Meeting a badass group of women! This trip is meant for 15 women of all ethnicities and backgrounds.
The chance to live off-grid while reconnecting with nature and yourself.

This retreat is for women only. The goal is to create an atmosphere that will not only inspire and encourage more women to travel to Mongolia, especially solo and without the safety net of friends, but to also give women more confidence in the outdoors.

Hello! I’m Breanna, an American travel writer living and hosting immersive experiences in Mongolia. Join me for this special women-only trip I’m hosting August 2024. Come see a side of Mongolia most other travelers will never experience!

From local families to a yurt camp that we’ll have exclusive access to for a week, this trip is an amazing opportunity to jump into Mongolian culture and life without having to spend countless hours driving from one place to another.

Our adventure together will start in Ulaanbaatar, where we’ll spend one night in the capital before hoping on a train north, towards the Russian border. The train ride is an experience itself, with it’s strong Soviet vibes we’ll rub elbows and get to know the locals, and get our first glimpses at the country’s amazing scenery, through this unique way of traveling.

The following days will be filled with spending time with local families, horseback riding, kayaking, learning how to make Mongolian dishes, and so much more.

This retreat isn’t just about getting to know Mongolia, it’s also about getting to know and spend time with a group of inspiring women from around the world.

That dates for the Retreat are:

August 11 – August 17, 2024 (7 days, 6 nights)

Breanna facilitated the kind of experience that allowed myself and my fellow group members to each have an individual experience that was expertly-planned but not overly curated, meaning we could form memories and connections unique to ourselves. Through her expertise I was able to sleep in local gers, experience the mysticism of a shaman, and ride a horse for three days without feeling like any of it was overly wrought. Breanna mastered that fragile balance of guiding my group without shielding us from the reality of traveling through such wild country.

Can’t stop thinking about my holiday - loved the country, the Mongolian people were so generous and welcoming, every day was an adventure. Thank you to Breanna & Aagie of Meanwhile in Mongolia - they really know how to show you the real Mongolia. The memories will live long in my mind.

I was not expecting to have such a culturally immersive experience as I did when going to Mongolia. This was hands down the most culturally distant place I have ever gone. I went on an organized tour equipped with a Mongolian driver as well as an interpreter. This is not a country I would recommend just "winging". Many destinations have no roads, no signs, and no other way of finding them without local knowledge.

About Breanna, Your Host

Hi everyone! Or “sain baina uu!” as we say in Mongolian.

It’s my honor to host my first women-only retreat in a country I truly love, Mongolia.

This country has changed me as a human and I never get tired of introducing people to this special place in person through my tours and online through this website, as well as on my Instagram.

When you come travel with me, my aim is to curate the coolest, most unique experiences I’ve discovered in Mongolia. From the things everyone needs to do, like sip on milk tea with a local family and sleep in a yurt, to the more extraordinary, when you travel with me you get a little bit of it all.

But, most importantly, you get an insightful, thoughtful look into Mongolia, and the people who have made this place home for me.

I look forward to spending this week getting to know you, and helping you get to know Mongolia.

Where We're Staying

For this retreat we’ll be spending our nights in the heart of Selenge Province at Yeruu Lodge.

With a beautiful location on the banks of the Yeruu River, the lodge’s yurts accommodate two to four people. Each yurt, or “ger” as we call them in Mongolian, is filled with traditional Mongolian furniture, a fireplace, solar-generated electricity, comfortable beds, and clean drinking water.

Bathroom and shower facilities are in a separate building where privacy is key. Private bathrooms and shower stalls are clean and well-maintained and hot water is available 24/7. (Not something you always get in Mongolia!)

The lodge also has a small number of yurts with private bathrooms inside. These will be available on a first come, first serve basis under the Tier 2 package. If you would like to request a room with another participant of the retreat, please let me know their name when you fill out the booking form below.

Yeruu is a calm and peaceful place that perfectly embodies modern Mongolia. We’ll have the lodge and surrounding countryside all to ourselves so you can explore at will and sink into serenity.

I choose to partner with them not only because of their location far away from the crowds but because of the special bonds they’ve created with the community around them. They have truly changed the lives of the people in this valley for the better by highlighting tourism in a sustainable, authentic way. And that’s something I can’t wait for all of you to see.
