Born in Brooklyn, NY with a love of the outdoors and a desire to share life’s adventures with others, Susan Riggio began guiding family, friends and community groups on nature trails almost 25 years ago. In 2001, Susan founded the Learning Garden at Oak Street School, a place where children had the opportunity to help feed the homeless through planting and harvesting crops. By 2004 her passionate hobby grew into a profession as she launched, Earth Speak Adventures leading hundreds of people on outdoor excursions through North and South America and Africa. By 20XX, Alchemy Outdoors LLC was born through Susan’s own evolutionary process of transformation and a commitment to serve and awaken the whole through the avenue of nature. “The joy that I feel from witnessing the transformation of people and their families on the trail is immeasurable and priceless.”
