In November 2021, Jenny left LA to head to Crete, Greece, where she embarked on EarthWALK - Crete, Greece. This trek is a 300 mile walk about on the Cretan Way to reduce the stigma around mental health, raise awareness about the intersection between wilderness therapy and well-being, and raise funds for free mental health programming through NAMI-OC. Jenny completed 9 out of 28 days on the Cretan Way in December 2021 but had to postpone the rest of the walk due to weather related hazards. She returned in June 2022 where she walked 2 more days for a total of 11/28 Days completed on the Cretan Way. As she is mobilizing the business side of WAME, Jenny will return to finish the EarthWALK - Crete, Greece later this year.

With every step she takes, Jenny is learning more and more about the natural healing effects of walking and being in nature. One of the lessons she is determined to share is that everything is interconnected. She wants to talk about how the effects of climate change are causing increased anxiety and how anxiety prevents us from acting with care toward each other and Mother Earth. Together, we can stop this vicious cycle and choose something different. Less screen time, more time with Mother Earth. Less plastic, more hemp. Less pollution, more recycling. Less fossil fuels, more renewable energy. Less fear, more courage. Less hate, more love.

It happens one step at a time.
