We Hike to Heal - Gerton, NC, FREE Women's Mindful Hike

Our mission at We Hike to Heal is to build an inclusive community that normalizes self care, creates a sacred space for healing and adventure, and prioritizes the mental and emotional wellbeing of all women. Because we believe that when women thrive, the world thrives.

This is the sixth event in a series of FREE mindful hikes for women. We welcome all fitness levels. Our goal is to enjoy the journey.

This hike features Bearwallow Mountain in Gerton, NC. We'll hike for a bit and stop for a guided meditation along the way. Then we'll stop at the top of the mountain for some mindfulness and journaling before returning to the trailhead.
