Hikerbabes Presents: Ten Essentials and Mindful Hiking

Join Hikerbabes for a session that combines practical hiking skills with the grounding benefits of mindful time outdoors. Leslie will cover the Ten Essentials she brings on every hike and how gear needs shift with the season and terrain. Diana, a licensed clinical social worker and nature-based practitioner, will share how spending time on the trail supports mental health, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. Through personal stories and simple techniques, she will highlight how mindful movement can reduce stress and help hikers feel more centered. Participants will also be guided through an easy mindfulness exercise that can be used on any hike. Hikerbabes is a community of women who share a passion for the outdoors and offer a supportive space to learn, connect, and explore. Their free-to-join chapters welcome women of all experience levels who want to build confidence, skills, and community on the trail.
