What, exactly, is a Goddess Hike (R)?

Goddess Hikes are a year-long, trademark event of Camping Noire that takes place the last Sunday of every month.  It involves the gathering of our sisterhood to discover and hike new trails in the area, exercise our bodies, and most importantly, strengthen our practice of being present in order to soak in all that mother nature offers.

Occasionally we schedule pop-up Goddess Hikes in areas where a Camping Noire presence hasn’t yet been established.  Other times, we may schedule an Open Hike which, depending on the location and difficulty of the hike, allows members to invite along children and/or men to join.  

But most times, it’s just the sisterhood...

And together, we conquer the trails, sometimes stopping to take in the scenery, jot down a journal entry, hit a yoga pose, or just be still.

It is a magical dose of natural medicine to start your week off with high vibes!

Who knew that one of the first projects I would give birth to this year has actually been in the making for 13 years? .... We started this journey out of a random suggestion for something new to do...never knowing we'd fall in love with it and actually commit to it annually. And here I am....just weeks away from sharing our 13 year camping and friendship journey with you while showing you how you can also make it happen. ... I'm beyond excited!! The draft is currently with the editor...the logo is complete and today is the photo shoot for the cover. .... #imanauthor #campingnoire #blackgirlscamp #outdooradventures #blackgirlsunplugged #gooutside #wildernesswomen https://www.instagram.com/p/BvrZOgjg1Ix/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1icc5zq4ah3sf

The rain and cold that greeted us for today's photo shoot was so apropos considering these are the same conditions we've had to withstand upon arrival for most of our camping weekends. So we just did what we do...laid down the tarp, flipped up our hoodies, and got 'er done! And guess what? We reached a new record of 13 minutes 29 seconds to pitch the tent. ... #campingnoire #photoshoot #bookcover #blackgirlscamp #bestfriendscamping #campingwithfriends #blackgirlsunplugged #tentlife #camplife #pitchatent #campingintherain #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #outdooradventures #gooutside #timelapse #tarpsandtents #bythefire #13yearsandcounting https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsW_2hgpIM/?igshid=rt32o0leew8f

Camping Rule #263. ALWAYS check the weather before you venture into the woods and use that information to determine: 1. whether it's even safe enough to proceed with plans (especially important if you're beginners and/or tent camping) 2. what to pack In our case, we're looking at a high of NINETY-NINE on Saturday!!!!!! And little to NO rain? This is certainly a first for our weekend camping excursions. It should also be an easy packing sitch because anything more than panties and a bra would be ungodly. Lol. Okay, we'll keep it ladylike and upgrade to a bathing suit. But, that's it!! * * * #toodamnhot #nakedandafraid #campingnoire #hikingnoire #annualgirlfriendgetaway #girlstrip #pantiesandbra #summercampingtrip #camping #campingrules #wegotthis #bookcomingsoon #letsgocamping #campingsafety #bathingsuits #beginners #gooutside #blackgirlscamp #blackgirlsunplugged #weekendgetaway #outdooradventures #weathercheck #disconnecttoreconnect #mindbodyspirit #relax #relate #release #underthestars #13yearsofcamping https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Bn1xWjvJb/?igshid=u7hs13qfvlep
