Walk and Talk with Brigitte (Natimuk Wellness Project)

📍Location: Meet outside the Arapiles Climbing Museum and we will depart as a group on our walk from there.

Walk like an Everest summiteer: energy saving tips for any trail, Q&A about climbing Everest. With Brigitte Muir O.A.M. First Australian woman to climb Everest.

Brigitte Muir is the first Australian woman to have climbed Mount Everest and the first Australian, male or female, to have climbed the highest mountain on each continent. Her nine year quest, which included four dramatic attempts on Mount Everest, gives her a unique insight on achieving long term goals, on maintaining personal motivation and on the most important skill needed when working with people: communication! Rare footage from the top of the world, stunning pictures, her passionate personality and honesty make for powerful presentations which inspire audiences to climb the mountains in their lives. Her key points are illustrated by striking stories such as being abandoned by her team near the top of Everest, the 1996 disaster where eleven people died in a single night and what challenges await after you have climbed the highest of all mountains. Brigitte makes a genuine connection with people, engages them and gives them a real sense of the journey, be it in business, at school, or in life. Her willingness to talk with participants after presentations allows them to absorb some of her determination and passion into their own goal setting and ways of acting.

Bring sun protection, drinking water and some light snacks. Wear shoes appropriate for trail walking. All ages welcome.

The Natimuk Wellness Project is a program of wellness and nature-based activities curated by Melissa Edwards and hosted in the rural Victorian town of Natimuk.
