Feel Alive. Revive. ReTHRIVE.
Let's shake off the drama of 2020! We've created three different journeys, each geared to meet you where you are right now. Too busy to really engage? Check out our 'Daily Walking' Journey. Interested in a more immersive, personal growth experience? Try our 'Walk and Contemplation' Journey.

Our signature SWTW bracelet
We partnered with Canadian jewelry and accessory brand, Eliasz and Ella, to design our signature SWTW bracelet. We chose them for their commitment to urban diversity and culture. Our joint effort resulted in this beautiful, limited edition piece you see here. Tourmaline stones were chosen intentionally for their healing and grounding energies; and we added the SWTW symbol of our free-spirited, independent natures -- a helicopter seed.
Online ReTHRIVAL Summit
To wrap-up the 21-Day Walking Challenge, we're hosting our online ReTHRIVAL Summit and you're all invited to participate!
Featuring a panelled and interactive discussion on Courage, Vision, and what it's really like to Change Your Life, you'll hear from inspirational, female thought leaders like American adventurer and TEDx speaker, Angela Maxwell. What can we learn from her experiences as a solo, female trekker, walking the globe for the last six years? How does she continue to move forward despite fear, anxiety and being an introvert? We'll discuss her idea that courage is a verb, and how we can choose to be courageous in our daily lives. Of course, she'll answer any questions you may be curious about, so get them ready!
We're also honoured to feature Sarah Symons, author, speaker, and Founder of Her Future Coalition. Sarah will share some of her personal journey in creating HFC, and engage us in a conversation on the Power of Giving and Receiving, (the latter often being a struggle for many women). How can we take better care of ourselves in a busy world? Giving to ourselves is just as important as giving to others.
About Our Speakers
I'm Sarah! I started Her Future Coalition in 2005 with my husband John Berger, after watching a documentary about child trafficking between Nepal and India. I felt compelled to act and that film changed my whole life. (Literally!) Before this, I was a composer of music for TV and film, and before that, a counselor and art teacher at Creative Arts Workshops in New York City. I've authored a book called, THIS IS NO ORDINARY JOY, and given a TED Talk about Living Heroically. I'm passionate about empowering survivors to be changemakers in their families and communities.
I'm Angela! I'm most commonly asked a simple question, "Why are you walking?" And my answer remains as simple, "because it was the most compelling idea I had." Nearly 6 year ago, I left my home and business behind in Bend, Oregan, to embark on a 20,000 mile expedition around the world. On foot. My journey is about how I walk, and where the walk takes me. I am in it for the love of adventure and exploration, both of physical landscapes and of the heart. I am in it for the challenges I will face that will strengthen my character, all the beauty and beasts life births. It is also an experiment of owning only what can fit in one bag and discovering the joy of living on less and trying to give more.
Pitstops Along the Way
Depending on the journey you choose in our 21 Days to ReTHRIVAL Challenge, you'll have access to three weeks of guided programming to enhance your walking experience. We'll focus on different aspects of ourselves for each of the three weeks. I'll be with you for this companion Online Journey, sending you motivation and inspiration as it relates to:
Week 1: Hope & Gratitude
Week 2: Vision & Freedom
Week 3: Courage & Action
If you can't afford the entry fee:
I know COVID has been hard on all of us. For some, money is tight. I invite you to walk with us anyway. Drop me an email, [email protected], and I'll send you daily prompts to help keep you motivated and inspired. Plus, you'll still be invited to attend our Online ReTHRIVAL Summit.
If you are able to give any amount, now or later, please consider giving what you can to Her Future Coalition, via Angela Maxwell's shewalkstheearth.com/give campaign.
We'd love to have you walk with us!
Meet your guides.
Founder, SWTW
Samantha Plavins
Hi, I'm Sam! Like you, I wear a lot of hats these days. Daughter, sister, friend. Wife, mom, and occasional mountain climber.
This past January, I left my 16-year career in Financial Services to pursue a dream of helping women walk their own roads to happiness. I believe this starts by knowing our unique truth and challenging the status quo formula we were fed as young girls. Adventure, authenticity, and sour keys are totally my jam. I have two signature habits: writing on my hand, and regularly losing my 'volume-off' iPhone. I'm so glad you're here -- I'll be your main Guide on this immersive walking journey. Let's walk the walk, together!
Yoga, Chakra/Tarot Readings
Danielle Baker
I'm Danielle. So happy to be here with you all! I'm a writer/photographer, yoga instructor and intuitive based in Squamish, B.C. I was gifted my first tarot deck when I was 17, but it took me 20 years before I read for anyone else. When I finally did start reading for friends, family, and - eventually - strangers, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful affirmations, clarity, and inspiration they were able to garner from my readings. I am passionate about offering insights that allow us to improve on all aspects of health - mental, physical, and spiritual - as well as untangling the connections between all three.
Healing Medicine
Elyse Williams
Hello, I'm Elyse. I'm excited to help you ReTHRIVE! I run a multidimensional health practise in Oregon, with nearly two decades experience in herbal medicine and healing energy. An early fascination with plant medicine led to eight years of self-study with native people in rural Alaska, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize and Peru, and prompted me to pursue a Master of Science degree in Herbal Medicine. Through study and certification in nutrition, reflexology, Reiki, and Aromatherapy, I help women heal their bodies. I look forward to walking this journey with you, while we focus on restoring and rebalancing your whole self.
