Heal Some Souls and Change Your Life
Bonnie Holding, Casting for Recovery
You’d be amazed at how many women in Maine do not go to support groups. So this is their first opportunity to actually voice what’s going on in their heads… and be in the outdoors, learn something new, take your mind off what you know…. a hideous disease, hideous treatments. It takes your mind away from it.
Grab Your Hot Saw and Show Them How It's Done
Alissa Wetherbee, Axe Women Loggers of Maine
Let’s show that women do this too… and that it’s a sport. We’re not wearing bikinis. The women are actually athletes on a team.
Reuse, Recycle, and Remember That Time You Didn’t Wreck Yourself
Mischa Ostberg, East Mountain Designs
This climbing gear has a life. Yeah, it saved your life. And it’s served its purpose initially. But everything that we use, we can repurpose.
Listen to Your Body
Acadia Gantz, the ‘TrailRunningBabyCatcher’
There is such a need for information about running and pregnancy… really good, solid, not-scare-tactic information about running in pregnancy, about getting back to running post-partum, about what it’s like to be trying to raise a child and be a runner.
Great Whites, 'That Other Kayak' Curriculum, and VHS Superstardom
Cathy Piffath, H2Outfitters
When people have that interest and they can gain those skills and see that comfort level and competence level go up, it’s just so gratifying.
Hidden Hikes, Swimming Holes, Jean Shorts and Rosé
The Ladies Adventure Club of Maine
Tag along as Jen ‘Hidden Hikes’ with Gillian Schair, founder of LAC, and a bunch of other awesome ladies!
Find Something To Look Forward To
Paige Emerson, Chubby Hiker Reviews
The days I don’t want to leave my house or don’t want to get out of bed, I’m like ‘Ooh, but there’s this new mountain that I could go review’
Live Mindfully (and Build Creatively!)
Jen Deraspe, Spirals of Wellbeing
I really wanted to test more conscious living. Like, ‘what do I need?’ versus ‘what do I want?’
Do Something For Yourself
Emily MacCabe, MEIFW/Becoming an Outdoors Woman
When you love to do something, and you get to share it with other people, it doesn’t feel like work at all.
Send It! (And Tell All Your Friends)
Katie Wolitarsky & Kat Englishman of The Send
We genuinely care about this community and these people, and we want to lift it up and promote it. And I mean, selfishly, we also want to know about all these cool things, too.
Go With the (Ebb and) Flow
Kelsy Hartley and Caitlin Hopkins, Two Maine Mermaids
I still think it’s crazy when other people show up!
