Blissful Hiker shares the reasons she hikes alone, to get grounded, to engage more deeply with the world around me and to do so at my own pace.

1. Being alone in nature has been practiced by all civilizations to build self-reliance and connect with the spirit.
2. As Emily Dickinson said, "The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience." 
3. But that does not mean that you shouldn't prepare by taking the Ten Essentials including telling someone where you're going, and when to expect you to return.
4. I have added professional speaker to my "bag of tricks." If you'd like me to speak to your group, contact me! 

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
