EVERYTHING YOU’RE WONDERING

If you don’t see your question — please  reach out directly.

  • WHO ARE THE OUR SISTER•SHIP TRIPS DESIGNED FOR?

    Whether you identify as childfree, childless, or prefer no label at all.

    These experiences are for women who:

    -Feel at peace with your path (whether it took time to get there)
    -Are open, curious, adventurous, and excited to connect with like-minded women
    -Want to cultivate joy, meaning, beauty, and connection in this chapter of life

    If you’re in a season of healing grief or actively seeking emotional support, these trips will not be the right fit.

  • ARE TRIPS FOCUSED ON HEALING OR THERAPY?

    No, our trips are not therapeutic in nature.

    While we honor the complexity of each woman’s story, these experiences are not designed for those seeking actively seeking support for acute grief.

    Instead, we offer something many of us have longed for: to sit at a table where not having children is the norm — not the exception.  That experience can be healing in its own way. But community, not therapy, is at the heart of what we do.

  • ARE TRIPS SUITABLE TO DIFFERENT ACTIVITY LEVELS?

    Each trip offers a mix of gentle activity, cultural experiences, and relaxation. You don’t need to be highly active, but should be okay with light to moderate movement and open to trying new things.

    If you have questions or want to discuss how we can help you feel at ease, with a specific trip, please reach out.

  • WHAT IF I'M INTROVERTED OR NEED TIME TO MYSELF?

    You're in good company. Most women who travel with Our Sister•Ship are thoughtful, self-aware, and need space to recharge.

    Every itinerary is designed with that in mind: enough structure to feel held, enough breathing room to be yourself. You’ll always have the option of listening and responding to what you need.

  • WHO GUIDES THESE TRIPS?

    Trips are led by Erin Hartley, founder of Our Sister•Ship—not as a tour guide, but as a fellow traveler and intentional space-holder.

    Erin coordinates the details, nurtures group connection, and stewards the overall experience. These journeys aren’t about rigid structure- they’re about a special group alchemy that happens when women come together with intention and purpose.

  • HOW DO I RESERVE A SPOT ON THE TRIP?

    Start by filling out the interest form on any trip page.

    Because these trip are intentionally small, spots fill from the in the interest list. We’ll connect 1:1 before any deposit is made.

    The conversation is a chance to get to know you, answer any questions, and ensure the experience feels like the right fit—for you and for the group.

    If you’re interested in a specific trip, you can find the interest form or registration info on the Trip Overview page.

  • CAN I REGISTER FOR A TRIP WITHOUT SCHEDULING A CALL?

    Our groups are small on purpose. These aren't tours or retreats. They're shared experiences created with care.

    It's a casual 1:1 conversation that’s entirely pressure free. The goal isn’t convince you to join but instead to help you determine if its a good The 1:1 call helps ensure the trip is a good fit for you.

  • I DON'T IDENTIFY AS CHILDFREE OR CHILDLESS. IS THIS STILL FOR ME?

    Yes. You don't need a label to belong here. Our Sister•Ship is for women whose lives don't include children — however they got here, whatever they call it, wherever they are with it. Many women who find us, don’t use a label at all. So if something about this site named a feeling you've had but never put into words — you’re welcome to join in.
