If you live in 2024 you know, everything is 1000mph all the time, almost everywhere.
You're either rushing from or to something.
Sometimes, that's just how it needs to be, it's life, but not, our dear friends, when we are hiking!
Slow hiking is a concept that encourages us to mindfully immerse ourselves in nature. Taking our hikes at a leisurely pace, focusing on the total sensory experience of our surroundings.
With expanding technology we are growing increasingly tuned out of our senses, living through one screen at a time. Slow hiking is an antidote to the fast-paced modern world, helping us cultivate mindfulness & reduce stress.
So it's time to plan your next Slow Hike.
Pick a route, preferably somewhere you haven't been before.
Allow almost double the route time.
Take lunch.
Take a camera.
Take your time!
The aim of the game is to experience the hike fully.
The sights, the sounds, the smells!
If you are fully immersed in your surroundings, those nagging thoughts have no room to creep in, that stress you were feeling will leave & you will truly unwind!
