Description
Wooing the Wary is a practical session that helps outdoor enthusiasts share their passion with friends and loved ones who may be hesitant about getting "Out there". Participants learn how to address common fears like bugs, cold, discomfort, etc; and learn how to create first-time outings that feel positive and comfortable. Through discussion, real-world examples, and group exercises the workshop shows how empathy, preparation, and small comforts can turn reluctance into curiosity and enjoyment. Attendees will explore simple strategies for inviting others into adventures that emphasize connection over challenge. With group exercises and a take-home guide, you’ll leave ready to plan a personalized “micro-adventure” for the people with whom you would most love to share your love for being outside.
