In May I participated in the Hike Like a Woman Summit where I had the great pleasure to meet and connect with other passionate women from around the world.
Dr. Debbie Early was one of those women, and I enjoyed learning about her life on a remote island in New Zealand along the Queen Charlotte Track (a path I hope to hike one day!). Debbie’s work is focused on nature-based solutions to support wellbeing and adaptation during times of change. Find out more about her and her business, The Art of Awareness, here.
We caught up recently and recorded our conversation about what we have done since the summit to raise awareness and action around nature connection.
In the video I mention a few of my Intentional Hiking events that were held this summer:
- Keane Southard took us through his process of transforming his Appalachian Trail hike into his Appalachian Trail Symphony.
- Amy Camp talked about Cultivating Community through Hiking.
- Ron Moak talked about Solving a Need through Design.
An upcoming event I mentioned (registration is open now!)
