Spirit Walks

Spirit Walks

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.”
​
​- Thich Nhat Hanh

Nature is always there, waiting for us to come outside and connect – and when we do, our world opens up, our energy expands, and peace settles into our very bones. ​

Imagine taking a ceremonial walk in nature. Opening sacred space, asking a question or setting an intention. Imagine stepping into that space, far from our daily life and all of the distractions that go with it, and totally giving way to the miracle of the moment. Imagine nourishing our bodies with the grounding medicine of Mother Earth, replenishing ourselves with her sweet elements, and offering blessings of gratitude with every step. ​

Zia facilitates this process through Medicine Walks – guided ceremonial walks in Victoria’s sacred pathways. Her message is that we can find wildness and beauty even in the most urban of settings, if only we pay close attention.

“Nature speaks; we listen. We listen not only with our ears but with all of our senses. We listen with our skin. The language of nature is spoken through subtle shifts in weather, wind, and temperature, through synchronicity, through birds and animals showing up. Each experience is unique. Each experience is a direct message to the medicine walker, just as dreams offer messages to the dreamer.”

A medicine walk can help us work through blockages, release old patterns, and embody our future self – one that is deeply connected with nature and with all living beings. We return to our daily lives feeling renewed and replenished, with a fresh perspective on life.

Each walk is tailored to the individual, taking into account that person’s physical abilities and requirements. A walk can be physically exertive or as gentle as sitting on a sunny bench near the water. It all depends on the person.

Sometimes we’re guided to do a blessing ceremony with the earth or to create a nature mandala. Breathwork, toning, and silent meditation can also be part of the journey.  ​​Zia is often prompted to take photos along the way, and, after the session, she sends them to you as reminders of your sacred walk and the magical relationship you share with the earth.
