“Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?”

Hiking into the mountains have been a sanctuary, especially this year for me.

Mountains are a place of peace, awe, and connection to life, abundance, and creative energy.

You celebrate your body:

• Eyes taking in the colors and rich landscapes…
• Nose breathing in the scent of green grass, cedar bark, larches as they turn gold…
• Ears hearing the rustling of leaves in the wind, the hawks in conversation as they hunt, the pikas peeping…
• Muscles reminding you of all you can do…

You are at a place free of judgement, labels, and expectations. You simply are, and you get to be you. You get to breathe and be.

And when you get to be somewhere and truly be you, you get to enjoy some of the most amazing, deep, and sometimes emotional, conversations that can happen nowhere else.
