The Grange Winter Lyceum presents

Women Peaking: Friends Climbing Through Midlife

Tuesday, March 31
7:00pm
Suggested donation: $5

Spend an evening with Westport neighbors Michelle Maron and Loree Burns as they share the ups and downs of starting two new and somewhat frightening things (mountain climbing and podcasting) at the very moment the world suggests that, as middle-aged women, they should be fading out. Their new podcast explores friendship, midlife, the healing powers of nature and, to the surprise of both hosts, attempting to climb all 46 Adirondack high peaks. The first season can be found on womenPEAKING.com, Spotify or Apple podcasts. We hope you listen and join us too!
