Manila, Philippines – To celebrate International Women’s Month, outdoor shoe brand Merrell is encouraging ladies to take care of themselves by going out and exploring the nature!

Merrell invited women of different backgrounds to come together for an immersive experience in the lush forests of Tanay, Rizal to connect with each other and to gain insight into the importance of taking time out to reconnect with the nature.

According to various studies, being outdoors can indeed help reduce stress, improve mental health and boost creativity. And what better way to explore the nature than being at your comfiest outfit from head to toe.

Celebrating #PrettyStrong Women

Kicking off the event was a calming outdoor yoga and meditation session with certified yoga teacher Anna Manalastas. This was followed by a light hike through the Tanay mountainside and culminated with talks featuring travel content creators Charlene Ajose and Natalie Tarin.

Among the attendees were actresses Aubrey Miles and Meg Imperial, Bb. Pilipinas International 2022 Nicole Borromeo.
