VIRTUAL

Heart of the Lakes would like to invite you to a virtual celebration of the passion and purpose that drives Michigan's outdoor culture. 
​

EMBRACE YOUR RESTLESSNESS

Picture
WE CONFESS.
WE’RE FEELING RESTLESS.
​
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO ZOOM.

​And it’s something we didn’t want to admit at first since it's our main means of human interaction --  so we ask you to take some time in advance. Create a space that's meaningful for you. 

If you've found yourself working from the same place at home, move your chair into the sun or curl up on the couch. Take your water bottle and a snack and sit outside. Restlessness is creeping into every part of our outdoor-loving minds and bodies. It feels odd, but it’s actually quite natural. It’s human. In fact, it’s a reminder that we are alive.
​


​But take heart— your restlessness is a sign of life. It’s your passion screaming to reconnect with you. And so when you hear it calling, try to remember that restlessness is not from your lack of dreaming — it’s a product of it.

​Restlessness is here to stay — for now. So get out that hammock, put your feet up and enjoy a short virtual gathering that focuses on our restless passion for the outdoors.

So, What's On the Agenda?

​Hi There and Welcome! - Like every summit, we'll start off with a rad welcome message to get us all grounded and prepared for the rest of the journey.

Abby Mahan Gartland Award Presentation - We mentioned passion & purpose earlier, and this award is in fact, the celebration of those who go above and beyond to protect and steward the places we love! This year we have two recipients to celebrate:

Vic Lane
Senior Conservation Project Manager
Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy

Doug Fuller
Volunteer
Little Traverse Conservancy
Campfire Chat with Lisa & Libby - Libby Rapin & Lisa Thompson are the co-founders of Oh, Infinite Love and their mission is to help people thrive so they can increase their levels of wellbeing. They'll share an approach (the PERMAH model) for wellbeing as described by Marcus Seligman. Libby and Lisa will deep dive into two of the six PERMAH pillars, positive emotions, and engagement. The intention is for all of us to share simple, yet effective, tools to increase our level of self-awareness and connection in order to thrive.

Getting Outside - As for good ol’ restlessness: we’re choosing to start embracing what it actually means and finding other places to put our energy— when we have it— and daydreaming more and more about what adventures come in seasons of better health.
  • protectMI - sharing the stories of the places we love benefitted by the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund.
  • Call for Emerging Leaders - training early-career leaders to help develop the work at SHIFT and in America.
