Wilderness Heals
Thank you for visiting the Wilderness Heals blog. Wilderness Heals is an all-women, three-day annual pledge hike that benefits the Elizabeth Stone House (ESH), a Boston-based emergency shelter, transitional housing program, and therapeutic community that provides services to women and children who are escaping violence and overcoming trauma. By encouraging hikers to set challenging physical, emotional, and financial goals, Wilderness Heals mirrors the experiences of hundreds of women who have sought help from the Stone House. Committing to hike is a way to grow personally while simultaneously standing in solidarity with women of the Stone House and women everywhere who are working to overcome the effects of violence in their lives.
Wilderness Heals 2011 will take place July 15-17, 2011. Registration materials may be downloaded here.

Bring a Friend on a Recruitment Hike!
Can't wait until May to hit the trails? Come on a Wilderness Heals recruitment hike!
Throughout the spring, members of the Wilderness Heals Recruitment Committee will be hosting hikes at Blue Hills Reservation, Middlesex Fells, and Mt. Wachusett. These hikes are open to everyone--participants do not need to be registered Wilderness Heals hikers.
Come if you want to jumpstart your training, meet other hikers, or learn more about the Hike. Bring a friend, bring some snacks, and enjoy a walk in the woods! Please note that because these are not official training hikes, participants do not need to carry all of the required Wilderness Heals gear.

Okay I have not really got yhe hang of this blog stuff, so sorry about the double posting the other day. Another whoops on my part is that I cannot host a Watchusett hike this coming weekend the 24th as I have other plans. The next Watchusett Recruitment hike will be April 14th. Anyone interested in an informal hike/tour of Watchusett can contact me and we can try to coordinate schedules. Well enough out of this hiker, me and the pups are headed for bed. TTFN
