Solo walks are intended for setting intentions or for answering important questions that your heart is longing to answer. They can be done for any purpose, such as a rite of passage to mark or celebrate a life transition or because you need some space from modern life.

They can be done by anyone at any athletic ability level. You only need access to a wilderness area. If you live in the city, you will need to be able to access a nearby state park or national forest land as you will need lots of space to roam (more than a public park).

You'll spend one day in the wild alone from sunrise to sunset, fasting from food, phone and other distractions of the outside world.

Other than a desire to spend time alone in nature and see what happens when you are lead by your heart instead of your feet, there are no hard fast rules to the solo walk. And although it is called a walk, you don't need to do much walking at all. It is important that you have no destination or goal in mind. Let go and get free.

In these modern times, we can reconnect to these practices through the solo medicine walk.
