Washington Women Outdoors

Washington, DC

Washington Women Outdoors

Washington Women Outdoors (WWO) is a non-profit organization founded in the Fall of 1977 and recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) in the Spring of 1979, that is run almost entirely by volunteers. We engage in outdoor activities in the Washington, DC area where women share skills, experience, strengths, and support to enhance and expand each woman's world. We welcome women of diverse ages, races, and lifestyles. WWO provides instruction by women for women. Activities are available for all skill levels to inspire the beginner and to challenge the more advanced.

WWO members are independent women who seek adventure in the outdoors. We have a passion for hiking, biking, rock climbing, caving, backpacking, kayaking, cross country skiing, horseback riding, hang gliding, and anything that tests our strength and broadens our horizons. We enjoy meeting new people who want to travel with us to beautiful places in the wilderness. If you are open to learning new things in a supportive environment and enjoy sharing the outdoors with other women, we invite you to join us.

WWO is different than typical Meetup groups. We scout our hiking and biking trips. Each trip is led by two leaders. One leader stays at the front of the group and the second leader is the sweep. Each participant is encouraged to participate at her own pace, and the sweep is there to ensure that no one is left behind. We want each participant to go at their own pace so that they enjoy their experience and come back to the outdoors.

SOFTISH- Sistas Over Forty Trekking In Search of Healing

Clinton, MD

SOFTISH- Sistas Over Forty Trekking In Search of Healing
The women in this group have at least 3 things in common; 1\. They love \(or are curious about\) hiking\. 2\. They're on a mission to heal parts of their lives by using the great outdoors as one of their tools\. 3\. They've reached 40 years or more and enjoy bonding with other women who are also learning about the myriad of ways our bodies and lifestyles are changing\.\.\. for the better\! Whether you're an avid hiker hoping to go even further or just looking for a great experience for your first time on a wooded trail, you'll find it here. As a Black woman who grew up in urban areas in the DMV, I was not exposed to the pleasures and healing powers of hiking beyond my local city streets. Yet, our area is rich with outdoor adventure just around the corner, and I want to help you get familiar with exploring them for yourself. I'm also entering a new stage of life, perimenopause, and I specialize in midlife women's hormonal health with an emphasis on metabolic issues. As my body adjusts to this transition, I'd love to both share and learn in community with my sistas. Our collective wisdom, keeps us informed, connected and stronger together to maintain our health. Many of us have had some challenging paths to get to this point in life and pressure from society for Black women to be and do everything for everybody can make life even harder. So I decided to create this sacred space for us to lean into a softer side of life. Where we can choose how hard we want to hike while also allowing ourselves time to speak freely, dance, laugh, explore and share as women who support each others "Softish" era. Welcome home, you big Softie! We will have a variety of events to accommodate different fitness abilities as well as social events from time to time, and maybe even a few retreats. Information about trail location, conditions, best practices, hiking gear, prep and recovery are shared freely with lively videos, pictures and tutorials. This group was created to serve women and especially Black women to increase our awareness and usage of this amazing natural resource for healing our minds, bodies, spirits and communities. All women of color and the colorful women who support them (allies) are welcome!

What makes Kickstands Up (KU) different from other Motorcycle Meet ups? KU Rider Francois said it best\*\*! "Out of all of the groups I just joined, yours is the most active. Congrats! " Don't want no Drama just fun!\*\* We've already rode over 500 events. No Commitments, no vests/colors, no mandatory meetings or, prospecting. Just RSVP and arrive at the meetup location ready to ride with a "FULL" tank of gas. New to riding, don't worry! you're welcome too. Kickstands Up started the SSR Events. Short Sunday Rides. If new to riding & riding with a motorcycle group, consider the short Sunday afternoon rides first. **KU Rider Charles Caleb Colton said, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".** And yes It is flattering when other motorcycle meetups copy our description, ideals & events. Especially the motorcycle aafety training events. We all want the same thing to just ride when time and weather permits and have fun doing it! We ask "all riders" to please: 1\. Be respectful to the organizers 2\. Be respectful to "All" Riders & their "Guests" 3\. No drinking or Marijuana use on or during a ride\. 4\. Always "Ride YOUR Ride\!"
