Hi.
I just subscribed to women and mountains. Sounds like a great topic. I
run an annual women's hike-a-thon in the White Mountains in NH called
Wilderness Heals. It both raises funds for a Boston-based organization
that helps women and children healing from violence, and also provides a
healing, growth-oriented experience for the women who particpate in the
hike. We do a 3-day hut-to-hut hike. This year 100 women will
participate--ranging from experienced hikers to novices, and from women
who are themselves survivors of violence to those who simply want to do
something to help other women. The hike starts on June 19.
You can find out more about it at our website

I am interested in running this kind of event for other organizations,
and in connecting with other women who have experienced the mountains as
a profoundly healing environment.
I look forward to participating in women and mountains.
Thanks
Beth Shapiro
