Event Description:

Join us for an empowering and reflective gathering at Women’s Wilderness headquarters, Blazing New Trails: An End of Year Trailblazers Celebration, where BIPOC women can come together to celebrate our journeys, victories, and growth over the past year. This event offers a space for intentional reflection, light movement, and meaningful community connection as we prepare to enter a new season with renewed purpose.

We’ll create vision boards, engage in thoughtful discussions, and share wisdom with one another. Expect to move, stretch, and breathe as we integrate light movement into our time together. Enjoy delicious snacks as we reflect on the year’s lessons and set intentions for the future.
