restoring balance and rediscovering
meaning. Lace up your boots, put one
foot in front of the other, and head out
on a pilgrimage. “Approach your
pilgrimage with a light and open
heart,” she says in this inspirational
guide, “and surprising things will
occur”. Walking has historically been
a way to soothe the soul and reconnect
to the sacred, whether following
religious routes or heading into the
woods. In this way Clare rekindles
a connection with the world of nature
and a sense of stillness.(Piatkus)
