Sobriety isn’t the end of happiness—it’s the key to it.
Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking evening with Lori MacGregor, who will share her journey of overcoming addiction and finding empowerment in an alcohol-free life. When Lori quit drinking in 2017, she discovered that sobriety had a PR problem. Recovery was often painted as a punishment, a shameful secret to endure. But Lori’s experience was anything but.
In the mountains of Los Angeles, Lori found a sanctuary that changed her life. Hiking gave her something to look forward to, a way to connect with herself and the world around her, and a sense of pride she never experienced while drinking. The awe of nature and a like-minded community inspired her to embrace sobriety as a path to freedom, not restriction.
Now, Lori is redefining what recovery means—not as a loss, but as a gain. She champions the transformative power of the outdoors, the joy of an alcohol-free life, and the importance of fostering a supportive, like-minded community.
What to Expect:
Lori’s raw and inspiring story of recovery and rediscovery
A conversation about breaking the stigma of sobriety and reclaiming it as a source of pride
Insights into the role of nature in healing and fostering resilience
A chance to connect with others who share a passion for growth, community, and the outdoors
🗓 When: 3/20/25 at 7:00PM
📍 Where: Virtually
Quote from Lori:
"In those early days when I was crawling out of my skin, hiking the Los Angeles mountains gave me something to look forward to, something to feel connected to, and a sense of pride and accomplishment I never had when drinking."
