Welcome to Wandering Workshops; splitboarding, ski touring, photography, yoga and meaning-making adventures. We have a passion for adventure, a curiosity to explore both outside and in, a love of the natural environment and a thirst to share the meaning-making process. Join us this winter for a unique adventure that we
Wandering Workshops are based in Aviemore, in the Cairngorms National Park and right next to Cairngorm Mountain Ski Area. Our snow tours are suitable for good skiers and snowboarders but no prior touring experience is needed, however, group members must have their own equipment. Tour locations are dependent on the snow and weather conditions.
Over the days, the group will learn the basics of avalanche and mountain safety, be part of the tour planning process and experience two different touring routes. Photography coaching happens throughout the workshops plus yoga, meditation and sense-making sessions are offered daily. A shared meaning-making and storytelling session will bring the workshop to a close on the Sunday evening.
Your hosts will be three times Olympian snowboarder, ski and snowboard coach/instructor and yoga teacher, Lesley McKenna and professional photographer, and outdoor sports journalist, Hannah Bailey.
Through expert coaching both on snow and in photography and story/meaning-making, each person will create a memorable visual tale of their adventure and shared experiences. The insights gained through collaborative, embodied connection in the awe-inspring natural environment have the potential to be life changing in a very positive way.
