Join Syren Nagakyrie, founder of Disabled Hikers, for a discussion about how to enjoy nature with a chronic illness! We will discuss how to reframe narratives about who is valid in the outdoors and why, how to create experiences that are meaningful for you, and how to find the information that you need. Syren will share their experiences and tips for hiking with POTS, and breakout groups will provide an opportunity for community building.

This will be a virtual workshop on Zoom on Wednesday, April 10th, 12-1:30pm. We will send out the Zoom link to our email list a few days beforehand. If you’d like to attend but aren’t currently on our email list, please reach out to us at LADN@la-dn.org.
