Zen on the Trail: Hiking as Pilgrimage

Zen on the Trail: Hiking as Pilgrimage

Product description

See what the walk has to offer.

Zen on the Trail explores hiking as a meditative practice, inviting you to pay attention to how you move through the outdoors as much as where you’re headed. Author Ives considers the possibilities for wonder, reflection, and connection along the way.

Through thoughtful prose, the book explores our relationship with the natural world and what we might notice when we loosen our focus on reaching a destination. Read a little before your next outing, or spend an evening considering a familiar trail from another perspective.

Book details:

• Explores hiking as a form of spiritual pilgrimage

• Reflects on mindfulness, nature, and interconnectedness

• Focuses on the experience of walking rather than the destination

• Features a prose poem by Gary Snyder
