🤔 Why This Hike?
In everyday life, we often carry more than we notice: expectations, worries, unfinished conversations, constant input. This pilgrimage invites us to slow down and ask:

• What am I holding onto that no longer serves me?
• What drains my energy – and what gives it back?
• What changes when I create space instead of filling it?

This pilgrimage is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and reflect on life’s important questions. We’ll walk at a relaxed pace, share thoughts, and take time for moments of silence – about 30 minutes to an hour – to listen to nature and our inner voices.

🔔 What to know & bring

• It’s winter, dress for the season and the weather. Important: hiking or running shoes, warm layered clothing, hat and gloves.
• Bring enough food and water for the whole day, as we won’t stop anywhere to buy snacks or drinks. A thermos with hot tea or coffee is highly recommended!
• Don’t forget your public transport ticket for the way there and back.
• There may be an option for a quick winter dip. If you’d like to try it, bring swimwear, a towel and extra clothes to warm up afterwards.
