Hiking Your Feelings Tour: Fireside Book Discussion
ABOUT THE TOUR
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and here at Hiking My Feelings, we're all about celebrating this important time. We believe that taking care of your mental health is just as crucial as caring for your body. Nature has this amazing way of helping us heal and discover new things about ourselves. By talking openly about mental health, we can break down the stigma and show everyone that it's okay to not be okay sometimes. Our programs are all about creating a safe, supportive community where you can be yourself and learn to take care of your mind as well as your body. So let's use this month to spread awareness, support each other, and remember that it's okay to feel all the feels!
🚀 Tour Highlights:
Fireside Chat and Book Reading: Join Sydney Williams - author, speaker, and founder of Hiking My Feelings - at AutoCamp Joshua Tree for an intimate fireside chat and book reading. Dive deep into the empowering concepts presented in "Hiking Your Feelings," as Sydney shares her journey and insights on self-love through the lens of outdoor exploration.

Join us on Saturday for a Wilderness Wellness Workshop
Wilderness Wellness Workshop: Zion National Park
Hike + Heal Zion National Park is a Wilderness Wellness Workshop facilitated by Hiking My Feelings, in collaboration with Zion Forever Project - the official non-profit partner of Zion National Park.
This workshop offers a perfect blend of adventure, self-reflection, environmental stewardship, and relaxation, all while immersing yourself in the awe-inspiring landscapes of one of the most iconic National Parks.
On Saturday May 18th, join the Hiking My Feelings team and Zion Forever Project for a unique Stewardship + Self-Discovery Workshop. This collaborative event combines the expertise of both organizations to offer an enriching experience that blends outdoor exploration with personal introspection.
Participants will survey land for natural features and historical artifacts, guided by knowledgeable leaders from Zion Forever Project. From petrified wood to evidence of the indigenous cultures who have stewarded these lands for thousands of years, the discoveries in the field will serve as a bridge to understanding our inner wilderness and our connection to each other.
This workshop is perfect for those looking to deepen their connection to nature while exploring the rich history of the land and serves as an opportunity to put some of the practices shared in the book to work in a community setting. Join us on May 18th for a day of discovery, stewardship, and self-reflection.
Registration includes your lunch and class materials.
