Walk requirements, Journeys and Rates
Specifications and requirements of each walk/hike:
​
Pre-walk conversation and intention-setting.
Each walk/hike starts with a pre-conversation to determine what you want to focus on during our time together (or what is presenting itself).
No distractions.
No phones or cameras are allowed on the tracks. Re-connect fully with your 6 senses. You are more than welcome to bring along a notebook and pen to write down thoughts and ideas. Let the mind and emotions work, let the body and your senses be your guide.
Minimum of 2.5 hours walking.
The benefits of being in nature start setting in after a minimum of 2 hours spend in nature. The longer the walk, the better: thoughts will slow down and the brain will show reduced activity, or less blood flow, in a part of the brain, called the sublingual cortex
Fitness levels.
There is a walk/hike for every fitness level. It is not about how fast and fit you are. It is about connecting with nature, your senses and yourself.
Breath.
Breathing exercises prior to starting walking to calm the mind and body and for being present and awaken to the senses.
Be still.
While we walk we will keep the talking to a minimum. We will have breaks here and there to stop and notice what is around us and what is going on for you at the moment. You are invited to share your thoughts or write them down.
Walking in all seasons and (most) weather.
Unless it is pouring down with rain or hail, or with wind we will still go out into the outdoors. All weathers have something metaphorically to offer, so draw upon the seasons for inspiration
Maximum of three participants per walk/hike.
Keeping the group small and intimate. In this way, you will better connect with nature and with yourself, also you might be more open and less distracted. The group can either consist of 3 people/ friends that know each other or 3 different strangers.
Journeys :
It is a Journey of your own, a Journey of self-discovery, a Journey of self-reflection, a Journey of stillness, and a Journey of change.
