Virtual Campfire #11: Aaron Strout, Carlos Bérruz

Welcome to the Hiking My Feelings Virtual Campfire. This 20-day event is a fundraiser for the Hiking My Feelings Wilderness Wellness Center, the American Diabetes Association, and RAINN - the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization.

Each night from May 26-June 14, 2020 we are going live at 5pm PT to bring inspiration, hope, and healing to the community in these uncertain times. If you find value in what we're sharing here, please consider making a contribution to our non-profit organization.

One of the biggest gifts in this life is to be seen. To be met where you're at. To be supported. To be believed. In fact, the combo of being seen and believed is one of the most potent ways we can show up for ourselves and each other.

Tonight around the Virtual Campfire, we are sharing stories about mentorship, community, and the power of having someone in your corner who sees you, believes you, and believes IN you.

AARON STROUT @aaronstrout has been one of the most influential people in my adult life. He sees me. He believes in me. He has gone to bat for me. He has been one of the biggest supporters of what we are building here. Tonight we are resurrecting our 2011 SXSW talk about mentoring relationships. He started as a member of my "personal board of directors" and is now literally on the board at Hiking My Feelings.

CARLOS BÉRRUZ @everyoneshike has coordinated some of the biggest group hikes in the SoCal area, bringing together an incredible community of folks who enjoy spending time on the trail. We're going to be chatting about the power of community organizing, and what is possible when you keep showing up.
