Is Your Community Truly Inclusive? 🌿 Building a community is powerful, it's where we find connection, shared passions, and cultural alignment. But as community builders, we often label our spaces "inclusive" without fully living up to it. WoeMan Outdoors is on a journey to redefine what inclusivity truly means for us. Yes, we’ve called ourselves an inclusive community, but simply stating it doesn’t make it so 🌱 A moment of reflection made it clear that our community, as vibrant as it is, was primarily accessible to those who already had the means, transport, money, time, and equipment. This gap in accessibility struck me hard 💡 True inclusivity goes beyond words; it means ensuring that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can participate and thrive. That’s why WoeMan Outdoors is committed to creating opportunities for those without the resources to experience the joy and healing of nature 🧠 Now, we’re actively working to expand our reach and make outdoor spaces a place for everyone. 🛤️ Help Us Grow This Mission: If you’re connected to communities, authorities, or individuals who share this vision or can offer insights, I’d love to connect. Let’s build a network that lowers barriers and makes the outdoors accessible for all. #Community #Nature #Outdoors #Accessibility

'The greatest gift we have is our ability to bare the pain without breaking' 🌱 I've always loved that quote, and I wish I knew who said it because it's so true. And what's equally lovely is to see that same strength ripple throughou the WoeMan community. We're all walking our own path, we're all hit by unexpected trials and tribulations. And seeing the unrequited support the WoeMan community shares with one another is something truly magic ✨️ It's in the small gestures, from grabbing a coffee, going for a sea dip, offering a hug, going for a walk, listening to someone vent. Support comes in many forms, and this community shows strength and resilience every day and it's wonderful 🧠🫂 #mentalwellbeing #community #nature #hiking #outdoors

Some recent WoeMan activity 🌱 From hiking once a month to running 5k every week with the run club, we're seeing the community grow steadily ✨️ We believe in the power of the outdoors when it comes to benefiting our physical and mental wellbeing and our community is an absolute testemant to that belief. But above all else, the support I see being shared and given from one person to another, no matter how small or big the gesture, is what really makes my heart sing ❤️ #community #wellbeing #mentalwellbeing #nature #natureheals

WoeFest 2024 ✌🏻📸 Amongst our monthly hikes and weekly runs throughout the year, sometimes we all need to switch off the wellbeing button and just enjoy the simpler things, like the company of one another ❤️ 🌱 So every year WoeMan hosts WoeFest. A very relaxed community focused BBQ where we can swim in the sea, relax in the sand, and galvanise and solidify the community spirit and friendships we have built throughout the year 💪🏻 #mentalwellbeing #community #wellbeing

WoeMan has its very own flag 🌱 💛 "For A Better Pace Of Mind' Designed by our very own Jack Gilliland the flag represents community and nature as well as presenting our commitment to creating a community that is focused on helping people with their physical and mental wellbeing. You best believe we'll be getting photos of the flag at any given opportunity now when we're out and about hiking and frolicking 📸 Thanks Jack, you're an icon 🫂

March with us at Northern Pride on Saturday the 20th of July 🤘🏻🌈 As a community that prides itself on inclusivity, it would be daft not to show our support during Newcastle pride weekend. So we've pushed one of our monthly hikes back in order to show support for our LGBTQIA+ friends. So come and join us, and dress pride appropriate, it would be rude not to ✌🏻

🌿 There's nothing more grounding than being out in nature. 🌳 It’s a chance to let your guard down and truly awaken your senses. ✨ Listen to the birds, breathe in the fresh air, feel the earth beneath your feet, and be mindful of your surroundings. It’s incredibly healing and brings people together for the betterment of their well-being. WoeMan Outdoors is all about creating a supportive community for those on their well-being journey, intertwining the holistic benefits of being outdoors. 🌞 It’s a place where you can feel at one with yourself while knowing you’re not alone in the struggles we all face daily. It’s a space to feel human. 🤝💚 Join us and experience the transformative power of nature. Together, we can uplift each other and embrace the beauty of the outdoors. 🌍 👉 Ready to join our community?

🌟 Exciting News for WoeMan! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that WoeMan is on the path to becoming a Community Interest Company! 🌱 At WoeMan, we believe nature is the ultimate gateway to enhancing both physical and mental wellbeing, whether you're exploring it on your own or with others. We're passionate about partnering with amazing brands and practitioners who share our love for holistic health practices. Together, we aim to bring innovative, beneficial methods to our community, boosting everyone's physical and mental wellness 💪🏻🧠 We also recognise the privilege of having access to the great outdoors—something not everyone in the North East of England can enjoy due to socio-economic, transport, disability, or financial barriers. WoeMan is dedicated to breaking down these barriers and making nature's benefits accessible to all. Stay tuned, because we're committed to growing and nurturing a wellbeing community that includes everyone. Let’s make the beauty of the outdoors a gift for the many, not the few ✌🏻✨ Join us on this journey and be part of something truly special! 🌿 #WoeManCIC #CommunityWellbeing #HolisticHealth #InclusiveWellbeing

'For A Better Pace Of Mind' 🏃♂️🧠🏃♀️ Run clubs are popping up everywhere lately, and it's absolutely amazing to see! The power of community can’t be overstated, and at WoeMan, we’re all about supporting both physical and mental well-being in the great outdoors. Our run club has been going strong for 3 years, and it’s grown into so much more than just running. 🌟 We celebrate small wins, not personal bests. 🌟 We go at a pace that suits everyone, not just the fastest. 🌟 We run at a talkative speed, not out of breath. 🌟 We set mindful intentions, not long-term running goals. 🌟 We never run alone; we always run together. No matter who you are—a competitive runner, a beginner, feeling on top of the world, or struggling mentally—our club is here for you. We wan't you to vent, we want you to unload the small everyday issues so that they don't pile up and feel heavy. We want you to 'sweat the small stuff'. And if you don't, then we want you to join our circle of support for those that do. We all need a space now and then to reset, slow down, and set more mindful and manageable intentions. And that’s exactly what we offer. Come join us every Thursday at 6:00 PM in Tynemouth. We meet at the top of King Eddie's steps by the Gibraltar Pub. ✌🏻✨️ Let’s run together for a better pace of mind. #WoeManOutdoors #RunClub #CommunityWellbeing #MentalHealth #NurtureHealing
