Description
The Women’s Heritage Walk is a life-affirming trek inspired by the worldwide history of women who walked to feed their families, bring water to the village, trade goods and services, and migrate to safer, more hospitable lands. Women have been on the move for centuries, often reacting to the weather, food, and resources.
Established in 2015, the Women’s Heritage Walk is an unrivalled multi-layered experience for women.
Preparation begins three months in advance with a curated program to prepare walkers mentally and physically for an arduous, exciting adventure. This experiential journey captivates all the senses and enhances each woman’s physical strength and internal fortitude while enhancing an individual path forward in personal health and wellness.
This adventure allows walkers to immerse themselves authentically in the local country’s cultural heritage. Daily programs stimulate a more profound understanding of our foremothers’ life experiences and offer a new appreciation for the habits and customs borne from the hardships of early life.
Participants forge deeper bonds with themselves and each other through physical, mental, and emotional development. Shared hardships endured with common goals create lifelong attachments, increase mutual understanding, widen tolerance parameters, heighten mutual respect, and reinforce shared values. Once accomplished, it accentuates individual strengths and potential more fully.
This transformational endeavour impacts the Walkers and their network of friends, family, colleagues, and community members. Each person learns vicariously from the participant’s persistence, perseverance, lifestyle changes, growth, reinvigoration, and heightened knowledge.
Each year, the Women’s Heritage Walk endeavours to bring the most up-to-date research to augment and improve upon the four pillars of Culture and Heritage, Health and wellness, Strength and Leadership, and Community Connection.
