This text was finalized while listening to this music.
It is interesting that sometimes I pass by a place, and my body moves forward, but my mind often stays behind. Have you ever felt in such a way? It happens to me all the time :)
My experience a couple of weeks ago (gosh…was it a couple of weeks?) in the Alps with a group of friends from the Transformational Travel Council and after in Taizé, where I was doing a retreat, was no exception. My legs moved forward, but my heart stayed behind, somewhere between the rolling hills of Burgundy and the Col du Grand Saint Bernard between Switzerland and Italy.
Why do I regularly feel like I’m in such a riddle? Am I going too fast? Probably yes! Can I slow down? For sure! What can I learn from the past? The critical question for me is what I want to bring with me to the future.
The keywords of the past weeks are very dear to me: listening, journeying, being, and remaining close to what matters in life. I share my highlights, and I hope they will be of service to you:
Listening – Listening is at the heart of every dialogue. Without listening, little can grow or develop. No relationship can function without it, and at the heart of listening is silence. How often do you make silence in your days?
Journeying – When we journey through life, are we tourists or are we pilgrims? Do we travel to observe from the outside, or is there an inner thirst that draws us forward? The pilgrim, even without seeing the endpoint, seeks meaning in each step of the journey, intuitively sensing the direction. What are you in your life? A pilgrim or a tourist?
Being – Each person needs space so that their own creativity and ideas can be expressed. Only when we share we can build up our life together in the human family. The strings of a guitar lie side by side, but it is only when they are played together that they make a beautiful sound. Are you aware of the “sounds” you can give?
Remaining close to what matters in life – This is the “billion-dollar” question that only each one of us can answer. It requires responsibility, autonomy, and intentionality. And most likely, this is the moment when Walking Mentorship can be of great use. If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together, because the journey takes time. A lifetime.
Now it is time to shut down the computer and say, until next month, in the meantime we need to start preparing for the upcoming programs and use the opportunity to listening, journeying, being and remain close to what matters in life.
Let’s keep walking :)
What have we been doing?
Programs
The name of our immersive program is called Destination You. Why? Whatever is essential for you becomes the focus of your whole week. The starting point is always the same – You! The walk and the nature are important levers, but the story continuously evolves around You!
Last August, we had the honor to share the road with our friends from The Transformational Travel Council Travel Council, and like always, whatever we say will fall short of the experience. So, we leave you with a video, and hopefully, it will inspire you to open the door and walk towards the best version of yourself.

How can we walk together?
Walking Mentorship is a labor of love that helps you gain deeper insight and equips you to create a meaningful impact on your life and those around you.
How can we work together? We keep things simple by offering, Individual, Group and Corporate programs. Find the best fit for you and book a call with one of our mentors.
Until then, keep walking with me,
