A Chat with Libby DeLana and Hivery member, Devon Rothwell {Member Meetup}
Hosted at The Hivery | October 23 | 12 - 1 PM | Mill Valley, CA
Join us for a special member-led meetup as Devon McAllister Rothwell, Strategic Advisor, Daily Cold Dipper and Hivery Member, sits down with author, creative director, and wellness advocate Libby DeLana to talk about her new book, Cold Joy: Experience the Wondrous Power of Cold Water.
In this inspiring conversation, Libby will share how a simple daily cold plunge practice became a life-changing ritual of resilience, healing, and self-love—and how nature-based practices can help us reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.
This intimate fireside-style chat will be followed by a short Q&A in our weekly member-led meetup format. Brown bag lunches are welcome for this casual event. You'll have an opportunity to buy Libby's book (and have it signed) at the end.
No cold water required—just your curiosity and presence.
This event is free for Hivery members and part of our weekly Thursday Member-Led Meetups.
Members: RSVP here!

Libby DeLana is an award-winning executive creative director, author, and advocate for intentional living.
She spent over three decades in the advertising world, co-founding the agency Mechanica after years as design director at MullenLowe, with work recognized by the One Show, Cannes Lions, and Communication Arts.
Over a decade ago, Libby committed to a daily morning walk, now more than 35,000 miles in (the circumference of the earth is 25k), transforming a simple habit into a powerful practice of mindfulness and presence. That journey inspired her book Do Walk and the podcast This Morning Walk™, which she co-hosts with writer Alex Elle. Her reflections have been featured in Magnolia Journal, The Boston Globe, BBC Radio 4, NPR, The Isolation Journals by Suleika Jaouad, Good Life Project with Jonathan Field, and on We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle.
In her late 50s, Libby unexpectedly began modeling, becoming the face of campaigns for Glossier x Sephora, Verizon, JVN by Jonathan Van Ness, and Fjällräven, a bold statement on visibility and vibrancy later in life. Her next book, Cold Joy (Chronicle, 2025), is about exploring the transformative power of cold-water immersion.
Through her creative work, speaking, and daily walk, Libby invites us to slow down, tune in, and live with purpose, one step at a time.
