Philosophy
Each year, the CWWN has a workshop weekend. The Wilderness Women's Network weekend is a time to get together with other women interested in the area of women and girls in the wilderness. The philosophy of the weekend is to gather these women and to share ideas, network and discover.
The weekend is volunteer-run, inexpensive and collaborative with food preparation, weekend set-up and clean up, advertising, registration and workshop faciliation run by women in the network. The workshop facilitation, activity planning, and open stage coffee house are forums for women to express their creativity in a supportive and encouraging environment.
It is about being together and sharing space and time. The weekend is UNIQUE in that WE ARE ALL THE ORGANIZERS OF THE WEEKEND - no one is in charge of the events. All workshops are presented by women in the network, all food is bought and created by us.
If you see something that needs to be done or might be a great addition to the weekened you can just do it, invite it, build it, create it.
We all make the weekend happen by being together in one place and it has a way of working magically. This weekend is a brilliant opportunity to get what you need, at your pace, in your way. Workshop presentations are a great perk of the weekend but participation in them is by no means obligatory (except one food prep OR clean-up slot and one wee chore for the weekend).
It is a weekend for sharing, learning and being together. All are welcome regardless of class, race, religion, physical or mental ability, or sexual orientation.
