Wellness Forum: “Wellness Found in the Olympic Mountains”
Tim Paschal, Olympic National Park Volunteer, will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness Radio Forum on Wednesday March 13th at 2:00 pm on KSQM FM (91.5) radio station.
Tim Paschal grew up in Bremerton and has spent most of his life in the beauty and wonderment as well as the challenges of the Olympic Wilderness in all seasons and conditions. Since he moved to Sequim he has volunteered for 15 years at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center helping people from all over the world find wonderful hikes and marvelous viewing sites, no matter the weather conditions.
Tim says that he wants to help people understand how to prepare for and maintain their health before, during and after hiking in the Olympic Wilderness. When I walked into the forest it gently began to change my outlook on many levels. The transition began so slowly on that first hike as an emotional, attitudinal and health-based force taking root in my youth and building to a constant throughout the rest of my life. From that day in 1958 to the present, I owe who I am and what I’ve become to the beauty, expanse, challenges and hardships of the Olympic Mountains.
