PEEC News:
 
The Pajarito Environmental Education Center’s new outdoor program, Inside-Outside Adventures is a series of four experiential outings for women let by Body-Connection Coach Michelle Harkey and Posture Alignment Coach Sandra West.
 
Each hike will have activities that surround a theme from a different part of Brené Brown’s book The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are and her 10 guideposts of wholehearted living.
 
Harkey and West designed the outings to use natural settings and outdoor activities to facilitate self-exploration, share the joy of being in nature, and help participants develop tools for living in today’s fast-paced society. The three day hikes and overnight camping trip can be done as a series or individually.
 
Inside-Outside Adventures Schedule:
  • May 12 – day hike,

Each outing will begin at 8:30 a.m. and return by 3:30 p.m. During that time, participants will hike one to five miles with 100 to 900 feet of elevation change. Participants will read a section of Brené Brown’s book before the event and bring a journal, hiking supplies (weather appropriate clothing, sunscreen, water, snacks) and lunch. Participants will meet at the Los Alamos Nature Center and carpool to the trailhead.
