GUESS WHAT?! I'm hosting a freaking awesome event in Estes Park, and you are invited. π₯
It's called Come Together Colorado, and it's all going down on Saturday, May 10 at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Picture this: a full day of fun, community vibes, and badass resiliency trainings (a.k.a. how to be a public lands warrior AND make new friends). We're talking about building stronger communities and celebrating everything we love about Colorado's gorgeous wild spaces. π
HERE'S WHAT'S GOING DOWN:
After a welcome rally to get us fired up, we'll have 4 training sessions run by some incredible creators + local orgs who are out here doing the work for public lands.
π€ͺ ME! Jessy Vanpo (@the.worried.wanderer) β Your fave anxious hiker and mental health gal
BINGO FOR A BETTER WILD: It's like regular bingoβ¦but unhinged. π We're talking about real action for Colorado's public lands, actual things you can do, and a chance to win a gift basket filled with goodies from The Landmark Project. π (BTW you'll need your phone for this session!)
π₯ Alex Haraus (@alex.haraus) β Environmental trailblazer and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree
SPEAK UP FOR THE WILD: A FIRST-TIME ADVOCATE'S WORKSHOP: Colorado's forests are at risk, and new laws could change everything. Alex is here to break it all down and show you exactly how to make noise that actually matters. You'll leave this workshop ready to fight for public lands like a pro. πͺ
π§ Teal Lehto (@westernwatergirl) β Water warrior queen, educating us all on Southwest water use
POWER CHECK: HOLDING OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR WILD SPACES
π² Nelson Holland (@fatblackandgettinit) β Outdoor advocate and literal ray of sunshine
SESSION TBD
Each session runs twice (45 mins each), so you get to pick two that vibe with you.
Oh, and don't worry, we're not just talking. We're doing. After the sessions, we'll spend 2 glorious hours basking outside with guided hikes, bird walks, games, and just good, grounding nature time. Plus, plenty of hangout time with the creators and awesome local orgs.
HOW TO ATTEND:
Whether you're local or planning a lil road trip, this is your sign to COME. BE. PART. OF. IT.
