Special Presentations & Live Discussions
Mike Schauch Presentation: A Story of Karma
Special Presentation
Join author Michael Schauch as he introduces his new book, A Story of Karma: Finding Love and Truth in the Lost Valley of the Himalaya. The story begins with Schauch’s dream to climb an unknown mountain in the Himalaya of northern Nepal. What unfolds in the mountains, however, forces him to question his values and his own identity, and eventually leads him to meet a little girl in a remote mountain village.
Live Panel Discussion: Moving Beyond Diversity
Wednesday November 25th – 6pm PDT
Join us for our panel discussion, Moving Beyond Diversity. For many in our outdoor communities, 2020 has exposed the amount of work that needs to be done in the area of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Organizations and individuals have been working hard to foster a more diverse participation and representation in outdoor related media and storytelling. Where do we go from here?
