Outdoor Allyship with Emily Sullivan: 

Maintaining Disruption: A conversation about leveraging privilege, nurturing relationships, and striving for meaningful change.

We all live at the intersection of multiple identities—how can we leverage our privileged identities to disrupt the status quo and improve the systems we operate in? Striving for this outcome within the outdoor industry and the conservation community means working to maintain a state of disruption while nurturing meaningful relationships. Emily will share a glimpse into their learning journey of striving to uplift meaningful stories in outdoor media and working alongside Indigenous communities on conservation in Alaska.

Welcome to Mind & Mountain!

At Mind & Mountain, we provide online training to build functional strength for outdoor recreation. Our programs help you cross-train from your living room so your outdoor adventures are more fun and you are less prone to injury. Our programs are all based on Mindful Interval Training and can be done anywhere with internet access.

At Mind & Mountain, we believe:

Outdoors are for everyone. All shapes, sizes, genders, races, sexual identities, ages, abilities. All bodies are good bodies, and all are welcome here.

Strength is the key. Functional strength helps us play in the mountains without injury, and have more fun doing it. And you don’t have to give up your other priorities -- or do a workout program perfectly -- to get strong.

Mental health matters. Exercise supports mental health when we ditch the “no-pain, no gain” pressure and replace it with titrated challenges, shifting our relationships with our bodies, & gradually increasing our capacity to do hard things without overriding our nervous systems’ cues.
