Not the kind that rushes — but the kind that unfolds, slowly and intentionally.
At We Hike to Heal, growth doesn’t just mean reaching more women. It means deepening the spaces we already hold. It means creating more opportunities for connection, for healing, for women to step outside and feel supported.
And this May, that growth depends on something simple: Women willing to lead.
Hold a simple, supportive space (we provide optional journaling + meditation prompts)
This is leadership in its most accessible form.
What You’ll Receive
We support our Hike Leads with:
A simple Hike Lead guide
Weekly Challenge themes
Optional journaling prompts + meditations
Promotion through our national platform
Ongoing support from our team
You are not doing this alone — you are part of a collective movement!
Join one of our upcoming Hike Lead Info Sessions where you can ask all your questions and learn what it takes to be a WH2H Hike Lead: Friday, April 10th @ 5 pm EST / 2 pm PST
What first drew you to We Hike to Heal?The community and focus on self-care. Finding a safe and inviting community created by women to uplift women felt refreshing.
What does community leadership look like to you? Community leadership is leading with heart instead of ego. It looks like creating a space that encourages inclusivity and authenticity, and serving in the best interests of the collective.
What committees will you be leading/serving and how will you shine there?I’m excited to support programming and lead the marketing committee. My focus will be on WH2H’s storytelling and brand strategy.
When I’m not outdoors,I’m usually in my kitchen baking sourdough bread and desserts.
Where can our community find you? You’ll most likely find me walking on the Beltline with my husband and two dogs.
Fun fact: the first time camping for Brittany was at our 2023 Campout & Retreat.
⏰Time for some spring cleaning.
Help Shape the Future of WH2H
As we continue growing, we are also expanding the ways women can engage with this work — including through our upcoming digital resource platform launching early summer.
This short community survey helps us build with you, not just for you.
Your responses will directly shape: • What resources we create • How we grow our leadership team • How we demonstrate measurable impact to future partners and funders
It takes just a few minutes, and your input truly matter💚
And I can only ask this of you, as this season of growth has also had me step forward in leadership to serve We Hike to Heal as Interim Executive Director while Michelle takes a well-deserved sabbatical for the remainder of the year.
Let’s lead together.
With gratitude,
Deva
Interim Executive Director, We Hike to Heal 🌿
P.S.I welcome any of your thoughts, concerns, insights, or words of encouragement as I take the lead on this new path for me! deva@wehiketoheal.org
