Join trail runner and bestselling author Emily Halnon for "Wide, Open Spaces: Why Trails and the Outdoors are Vital Places for Processing our Hardest Emotions" on Thursday, January 23 in the Meeting Hall at GMC Headquarters in Waterbury Center at 7 p.m. When Emily lost her mother, Andrea, to a rare uterine cancer, she went after the speed record on the 460-mile stretch of Oregon's Pacific Crest Trail to celebrate her mom's life — and to process the grief of losing her. Emily, who grew up in Lincoln, Vermont and authored the bestselling memoir, "To the Gorge," will share stories from her record-breaking run across Oregon and her journey through grief, and offer insights into why trails and the outdoors are such valuable spaces for processing our hardest emotions.
Join us for a hiker social hour in our new visitor center starting at 6:30 before the event begins at 7 p.m. Registration is free and open to all. Visit GMC's website to register and view this year's full speaker series lineup: www.greenmountainclub.org/education/events-workshops/
