Events

The Women's Athletic Network needs women to join our mailing list for sports events and adventures.

2024 is the year for YOU to join Tracy and other women trying new sports and outside adventures once in their lifetime.

At least once a month, starting in January, we will be planning sporting, fitness, adventure, and athletic-supportive events for females looking to up their risk level, network with other women in a fun, casual way, and change up their regular activity habits!

The mean age of our followers is 50-70 years young, the perfect time to get out and try something new while establishing new bonds with cool women interested in business and sports. In order to build the right email list to move forward, we need anyone interested to click "reserve" and fill in the information, pay the $25 newsletter fee. In the comment section, list a sport or adventure you have been wanting to try and we'll try to get it planned.

For 2024, we will be doing minimally:

Hiking in the Winter 100 Challenge - All over including Lake Placid

Climbing - Possibly Inside Wall Climbing to Start in the Mohawk Valley

SnoYoga - February in Rochester

Curling (a repeat asked for sport) - In Rochester

Cross Country Skiing - in CNY

WakeSurfing - in Canandiauga

Skydiving - Near Poughkeepsie

Fencing - In Syracuse

Roller Derby - In Rome

Born to the parents of two physical education teachers and coaches, Tracy's birthright was to be a sports lover. Her lifelong love for sports and adventures has her now trying every sport once in her lifetime and taking other women along with her. Find out more at www.tracyhigginbotham.com

An entrepreneur, writer, teacher, healer and unshakable optimist, Marion Andrews is dedicated to helping you become the person you most want to be.

Following her initial diagnosis with Stage 3B colon cancer, she underwent the recommended chemotherapy, only to repeat the whole scene the following year with the new designation of Stage 4, and then AGAIN, the year after that!

In her bestselling book, Gloriously Grateful, Marion chronicles this journey with humor, hope, honesty, and unique insights. Her story will take you on a powerful journey that begins with her diagnosis and ends with her being transformed, more vital than ever, and gloriously grateful for all she experienced.

Marion is a keynote speaker and offers workshops on how to survive and thrive through any rough patch; especially dealing with cancer, treatment, and learning how to live each day with gratitude.

Along with her daughter, Michelle Forsyth, Marion coauthored Who Am I, Anyway?: A Guided Journal.

EVENT:

Wholly Education presents An Online Women's Retreat for Transformation called "NEW YEAR, NEW ME"

Discover how: Gratitude, Meditation, Forgiveness, and Balance can lead to Inner Peace.

If you would like to be added to the mailing list for more information as it becomes available, please email Jody Brown at jfb523@gmail.com.

Jody Brown is the founder of Wholly Education. Her mission is to empower people to realize their full potential by nourishing their body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of changing the world, one person at a time.

Jody loves guiding people through transitions as a Master Reiki Practitioner, a Meditation Instructor, a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and a non-denominational Wedding Officiant specializing in non-traditional and custom wedding ceremonies in the Finger Lakes area. She also leads online Women's Health and Wellness Retreats.

The name, Wholly Education, comes from discovering the three words heal, whole, and holy all come from the same root word, the old English word hal. That means that there was a time when those three concepts were so intertwined that we only needed one word to describe them all. So Wholly Education is a play on those words. With today's holistic approach, we are integrating them back together again.

Why not try a new sport in 2024 - or maybe two or three? Join Tracy Chamberlain Higginbotham as she adds to her "I'm trying every sport there is" list and have some fun, fitness, and up-your-risk-level, all while networking and creating bonds with other women who are in business and sports.

RMSC Cumming Nature Center. Founded almost 50 years ago by the Rochester Museum & Science Center, this 900-acre environmental education facility brings top-tier nature education and experiences to the Finger Lakes Region. While people come to the nature center for the 15 miles of trails, visitors center, and unique year-round events and programming, there's something about the magic of these woods that draws them back again and again.

See you in the snow and pines!

Lynne is a passionate student of the body, mind, and heart. She has found endless territory to explore and enjoy through yoga: within herself, with the teams she is a part of, and in the wonders of the natural world.

?Yoga, which is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning to unite, has been the synthesizing force that integrates her passions for playing and dancing, reflecting and learning, supporting and serving.
