“I think once you walk with women in nature you experience it first-hand. So, you start to see how.going together whether it be opn a small adventure locally, or on something bigger like climbing Kilimanjaro, there’s these connections that start to happen. You’re connected with the people around you, you are having a shared experience in nature and it creates this collective effervescence if you like, this magic between you because you’re sharing something that is so special that will stay with you forever. You are also connected to the land, you’re connected to the stories, and the people of that land, you’re connected to nature and I believe through all of those things you can become more connected to yourself.” ~ Lisa Marshall In this intimate interview, Lisa discusses the concept of ‘Adventure Fitness’ – a journey of how to travel and get fit for adventures in nature. She believes in the power of shared adventures to connect us with one another and to the joy and healing that come from spending time in nature. Together, Kim and Lisa explore the importance of connection in nature, health and fitness for adventure, and how human beings can best nurture themselves.

Join Kim Morrison for a delightful and exciting conversation with Lisa Marshall in this adventurous episode. Lisa shares her journey and how she became the person she is today: an adventure guide, Trek coach, mom, wife, and writer, passionate about providing people with the resources and inspiration to get outdoors. Her definition of Self Love is: Time. Someone told me that, “Children spell love T.I.M.E.” And I don’t think they are the only ones. I believe nurturing yourself means you have to allocate time each day to your own health and well-being. And I’ve always stood by that. Her favourite quote is: That which you are seeking, you had within you all along.

It’s a combination of fitness and upholds in coming together as a community. Genuinely people are more connected in nature. Connection starts to happen when you are connected with people around you. You have shared experience with nature . You are connected to the land, the stories, the people, you are connected to nature. I find in general, women in teens are very supportive with each other rather than being competitive. You have a strong desire to be prepared. Accountability to a human being is much stronger than to a behaviour change or consistency. When I step out in nature, something happens to me because I know so much that is not in my culture. So much happens that can be unexpected, you have to communicate with each person. You have to know where your strengths are and you have to be stronger to make decisions. The mind, body, and experience that you get when you’re hiking in nature is just wonderful. Having a deep sense of love and connection to a place and purpose is a big drive of us. A connection to nature and appreciating what is there.
