About

Join us for an early evening stroll up Scolty where we'll share a mindful moment together at the summit in the beautiful surroundings of the Deeside valley. After making our way back down, we'll meet at the Liberty Kitchen on the High Street in Banchory who have kindly opened their doors just for us for the evening. We're delighted to have Hazel Robertson of The Scary Goals Club join to give a short motivational talk on doing the scary stuff that makes you feel alive. We'll also enjoy delicious cheese boards (or vegan boards) while making connections with old and new friends. Hazel Robertson From a solo ski crossing of Europe’s largest high-mountain plateau, to running six marathons in seven days in the Sahara desert, to traveling human powered across Alaska to raise awareness of the impacts of climate change, to launching an international coaching business, Hazel thrives on setting scary goals that require her to continually move through discomfort and fear. She loves sharing what she learns along the way in The Scary Goals Club podcast. Hazel’s usually found outside on a muddy trail somewhere and since having her son in 2022 she’s even more passionate about doing everything she can to protect our planet for future generations.
