Why we walk.
The Story of Wayfinding Days
Wayfinding Days emerged following my DIY Pilgrimage I did in 2022, after my trip with my sister to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain was cancelled in May 2020, due to COVID-19. In 2022, I decided to create my own pilgrimage, so I walked from Long Beach to Solana Beach, with a little help from the train through Camp Pendleton. My sister, my husband, and my 83 year-old father each walked one of those days with me and it was truly a wonderful experience.
​
This year I created my own solo Wayfinding Day from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach on a Sunday in February. I walked with the intention to notice and reflect and journal my way through the day. I did some of that and I mostly walked in quiet thought. As I shared the DIY Pilgrimage and Wayfinding Day with other people, many responded that they wanted to do something like these mindful & intentional walking experiences. Earlier this summer, I offered the first Wayfinding Days to rave reviews: All participants who responded to the survey not only said they would participate again, they would also recommend the experience to their friends!
​
Come see for your self what we've experienced--a chance to walk in the company of others, a time to be alone in our thoughts and feelings that arise from walking for a long time, a space for reflection (a small booklet with reflection questions will be provided) as we explore our inner landscapes. We will walk and talk as we get to know one another a little bit and we will also walk some parts by ourselves so we can be in the quiet of our own hearts and minds.
