MARCH 2016 OBWA NETWORKING DINNER & GUEST SPEAKER
|
Orillia Business Women's Association (OBWA)
Networking Dinner Wednesday March 9, 2016
This month’s Speaker is: Alison Braun, Earth Treks & Co-Founder of Refugio Mindo Environmental Innovation Centre
Topic: Eco-Adventures in Ecuador & the Galápagos Islands
Through stories, photos, video, and interactive dialogue, Alison will walk us through the country that she loves and knows so well – Ecuador. Cultural and natural treasures abound there, from the biodiverse cloud forests surrounding her village of Mindo to the different Indigenous communities she leads groups to visit in the Amazon to UNESCO World Heritage sites included in different itineraries.
Alison will endeavour to paint a picture of the country, its geography and political
 landscape, outlining the reasons it has become the number one international retirement destination for Canadians and ranks among the happiest of all countries on Earth. She will also give us a glimpse into her recent journey with Shamans through the Sacred Valley of Peru.
