Our group is perfect for you if:
You're adjusting to changes in your physical capabilities
You want to stay active but need to explore new approaches

You enjoy a good laugh while tackling life's challenges
Join us for hikes, talks, and more as we evolve together!
Hi there! I'm Paul, new to North Conway as of June 2024. I'm the adventure enthusiast who's hiked Patagonia, backpacked through Glacier National Park, kayaked Maine's marshes, and cycled Yellowstone. But lately, my body's been hinting it's time for a change.
A series of injuries have forced me to face a tough reality: my relationship with physical activity needs to evolve. It's been a journey of grief, denial, and acceptance - turns out, asking 'how fit is fit enough?' is quite the existential workout!
This transition has challenged my identity, but I'm realizing it's not a decline, it's an evolution. Now, my hikes are slower, infused with meditation and intentional savoring. Who knew slowing down could speed up personal growth?
I'm starting this group because I know I'm not the only one navigating these waters. I'm excited to build a community where we can share this journey, swap tips, and have some laughs along the way. Let's evolve, thrive, and maybe learn some new tricks together!
