Delve into the world of adventurous women who, like Susan, have found fortitude, inspiration, and joy in the embrace of nature.   Through captivating stories and vivid images, Susan will illuminate the transformative power of embarking on a journey of one’s own, both metaphorically and literally. From Simone de Beauvoir to Georgia O’Keefe, discover how these remarkable women broke free from cultural constraints to nurture their own spirits.   Additionally, Susan will share stunning photographs of her 13-day, 272-kilometer trek along the Chemin de Stevenson, a route immortalized by Robert Louis Stevenson in Travels with Donkey in the Cévennes.
