In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, we’re hitting the trail to reclaim what’s always been ours—our stories, our traditions, our power.
This isn’t just a hike—it’s a call to remember. To ask the real questions. To bring our ancestors into the conversation and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that colonization, migration, and survival tried to bury.
We’ll walk, journal, and reflect on the legacy we carry and the culture we’re still shaping.
✨ Who were our ancestors beyond their struggle?
✨ What got lost—and what still lives in us?
✨ How do we reclaim the pieces we weren’t taught but still feel?
This is a space for joy, grief, laughter, curiosity, and pride. A space to be in nature, in community, and in conversation with the roots that made us.
Come as you are—ready to hike, ready to write, and ready to reclaim.

About the hike: We’re headed to Anthony’s Nose trail near Cold Spring, NY where you’ll also be able to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. If you’ve looking for a hike with a bit of a challenge, then this might do the trick. The first section of the hike is the steep 500-foot rock staircase (takes about 30-45 minutes to go up), then the trail levels out leading to the overlook with the epic views where we will take a break to rehydrate, meditate and journal before heading back. If you aren’t sure about the rock staircase, check out the photo below and/or you can read a play by play here.

WHY HIKE?
It boosts endorphins, reduces stress and helps keep you present. By allowing ourselves to be unapologetically spiritual in a place like the outdoors, we honor and affirm how we take up space in the world.
WHY JOURNAL?
The peace you get from being out on a hike naturally leads to personal reflection because your mind is super clear and you’re tapped into your highest self. Writing in this state is a powerful way to connect with yourself and what you want out of life. Once the pen hits the paper, anything is possible.
SIDE EFFECTS OF HIKING WITH US INCLUDE:
Spiritual freedom as we unapologetically take up space in nature, self-esteem on point, nature high that lasts about a week, inner peace, remembering who the fuck you are, feeling grounded, deep connection with nature, appreciation for ancestral land a.k.a. Pachamama, self-revelations through journaling, and the sassiness to stand in your power. You’ll always walk away from a hike feeling better than how you came in.
