Join us for the second annual Becoming an Episcopal Outdoorswoman program! If you've ever been curious about expanding your outdoors skillset, or are looking to deepen wilderness practices you already love, this is a program for you! Come and spend the day connecting with creation and learning valuable skills in an environment of cooperation and Christian community.

This event is coordinated by NH Episcopalian and naturalist Linden Rayton of Living Water Nature Programs. All workshops are led by Episcopal women, including Linden, The Rev. Spencer Hatcher, The Rev. Louise Howlett, Tina Pickering, Sarah Loy, and The Rev. Kate Harmon Siberine.

This event is for female-identifying folks who are 18 years old and up. Register here.
