The wonder of being in step with nature
About the Book
There is much to be gained in taking pleasure in a journey and not just its destination. Walking with the Seasons is an essential guide to slowing your pace, being present, and walking mindfully - and what better way to arrive at each moment than a daily walk with nature, in all its seasonal glory?
The natural world is constantly changing, and its seasons are ephemeral. Staying with each moment - as spring bursts into bloom, as the heat of summer fades with the blaze of autumn, and the hush of winter thaws into spring once again - is an endless opportunity to connect with time and place, nature and season. There are many treasures to discover along the way, from the delights of the springtime dawn chorus or wiggling your toes in sand to collecting acorns or stargazing in a clear winter’s night. Experiencing the simple pleasures in life, whether we have walked the path once or many times, is a balm to the soul.
Packed with practical advice and activities for getting the most from your walk, this guide reveals the effect on our bodies and minds when we spend time outside. Walking improves not only our physical health, but boosts our wellbeing, our creativity, and our relationships - and, in turn, is good for the planet too. Drawing inspiration from meditations, visualisations, and the wisdom of poets and philosophers, this indispensable guide reveals the mystery and magic of putting one foot in front of the other.
On the Back
This thoughtful guide explores what happens to our minds, bodies, and spirits when we spend time outdoors. From basking in summer sunshine to crunching golden leaves underfoot, and from the scent of springtime blossom to taking solace in winter’s hush, you can slow down, walk mindfully, and experience the wonders of nature in all their seasonal glory.
Discover a wealth of walking activities, meditations, reflections, and inspirational advice, drawn from the practical wisdom of scientists, poets, and philosophers, and experience the many benefits - a positive mindset, happier social interactions, resilience, improved creativity, and much more - that the beauty and power of walking in nature can bring.
