Campfires, amirite? Lighting the fire and gathering with friends is the perfect end to the day. Each evening, starting at 5pm PT, we are gathering virtually to bring together some of our favorite storytellers – speakers, spoken word artists, musicians, live art, comedians and more. We do this in the spirit of inspiration, intention, and integration – three things we’re kind of obsessed with here at Hiking My Feelings.

We’ll open each evening with a warm welcome and a toast to you, our community of donors who share our vision for the future. Sydney will kick us off by reading a chapter from her book, Hiking My Feelings: Stepping into the Healing Power of Nature. After Story Time with Sydney, it’s time for a campfire chat with a special guest whose work, art, or lived experience ties into the themes present in the chapter. Then, it’s time for a live performance from one of our favorite artists. We’ll close out the evening by introducing you to a member of the Hiking My Feelings Family and facilitating a Group Gratitude Circle where donors on the Zoom meeting can share what they’re grateful for.

We may be biased, but this might be the coolest campfire you’ve ever been to.
