Welcome! Our events are all about gaining strength and confidence in your new normal.
What to expect in 2025
Our Hiking for Healing community is here to support you on your journey, offering a safe space for growth, discovery, and connection. In 2025, we will host exciting events designed to appeal to all physical strength and emotional resilience levels.
Join us for our 'Out of the Cold' series from January to March, featuring social gatherings, trips, and retreats that will warm your spirit and foster new friendships.
We invite you to connect with nature and your inner self from April to November through our day hikes and campouts. These events are perfect for those seeking adventure, tranquility, or a bit of both.
Join us in our private or public learning environments for those committed to personal growth. The private environment is a safe space for women impacted by cancer to connect and grow, and the public environment is open for all others to join. Our self-paced courses for this year include Q1: Realizing Resilience, Q2: Emotional Intelligence, Q3: Meaning & Valued Living, and Q4: Self-Acceptance. Embark on this transformative journey with us and enhance your quality of life.
Remember, you don't have to be 'strong' to start. You just have to begin to be strong. We can't wait to welcome you to our pod!
