Novi Celebrates International Women’s Day

When Women Move Together, Mountains Shift.

This International Women’s Day, we’re trading boardrooms for the great British outdoors.

Join Novi for an invigorating Richmond Park hike that proves the most powerful networking happens in hiking boots, not heels.

Experience the beauty of nature on this scenic route through Richmond Park, with its wide open spaces, grasses, and deer herds, only minutes from central London. The park is home to exotic mushrooms, birds, insects, bats, grasses, and wildflowers. Take in the distant views of St Paul’s Cathedral from King Henry’s Mound and explore the Isabella Plantation forest gardens as we walk together in celebration of women’s strength and solidarity.

Why We Walk

Because barriers don’t break themselves. Because solidarity isn’t built sitting still. Because when women move together—literally—we create unstoppable momentum. This isn’t your average corporate International Women’s Day event. 

This is raw conversation over rugged terrain. Real connection over catered small talk. 

A community of women choosing to show up for each other, exactly as we are.

Walk with us if:

You’re ready for authentic connections

You believe strength is built together, not in isolation

You’re ready to swap your desk chair for fresh air and real talk

You know that “unstoppable” isn’t something you are—it’s something we become
