You are being invited to return to nature. You may not have read the invite yet, but it's there at your feet! Feet are the foundation of our body. Our soles gift us with a direct connection to Earth's infinite healing powers; but when we wear shoes, they cut us off from nature, and impede proper foot function. In her book, Sue Kenney shares stories about her personal re-wilding journey to a barefoot lifestyle, while living in a cottage on the shores of Lake Couchiching. This book offers a common-sense approach to inspire you and coach you in integrating a barefooting practice in your life. You'll better understand the benefits of earthing, enable more efficient movement of your body, engage an approach to anti-aging and improved posture, and you'll return to a more natural state; the perfect antidote to the effects of civilization. Mother Earth Activation Each copy of How to Wear Barefeet has been taken to the forest in Muskoka, Canada to be blessed and activated by the Great Mother Earth. The books are carried to a sacred spot and placed on the ground, near the trees, mud, moss, rock, mushrooms and wild flowers to be offered as a healing text. During this time, the four corners are called in and then a gratitude ceremony follows with a smudge to clear the energy. Each book is then signed by Sue in her barefeet and that complete's the earths activation. Sue is the author of the best-selling book My Camino about her journey walking 500 miles across the north of Spain. Having returned to the path numerous times she is seen as an expert Pilgrim who coaches and guides groups. An internationally acclaimed keynote speaker Sue has facilitated barefoot and Camino workshops worldwide. As the designer and founder of Barebottom Shoes, the first ever true sole-less footwear, she pitched her business idea on the renowned TV reality show Dragons' Den. Sue's barefoot lifestyle is centered at her lakeside cottage in Canada, and she can often be found walking, running, climbing trees or doing yoga in the forest. The book includes a 'How To' guide for starting a barefoot practice in your life. Since Sue has also walked the Camino numerous times alone and guiding groups, she's included a Chapter on preparing about walking the Camino in your barefoot some of the time.

Gender, Nation and Religion in European Pilgrimage by Catrien Notermans Pdf
Despite the forces of secularization in Europe, old pilgrimage routes are attracting huge numbers of people and given new meanings in the process. In pilgrimage, religious or spiritual meanings are interwoven with social, cultural and politico-strategic concerns. This book explores three such concerns under intense debate in Europe: gender and sexual emancipation, (trans)national identities in the context of migration, and European unification and religious identifications in a changing religious landscape. The interdisciplinary contributions to this book explore a range of such controversies and issues including: Africans renewing family ties at Lourdes, Swedish women at midlife or young English men testing their strength on the Camino to Santiago de Compostela, New Age pilgrims and sexuality, Saints’ festivals in Spain and Brittany, conservative Catholics challenging Europe’s liberal policies on abortion, Polish migrants and French Algerians reconfiguring their transnational identity by transporting their familiar Madonna to their new home, new sacred spaces created such as the shrine of Our Lady of Santa Cruz, traditional Christian saints such as Mary Magdalene given new meanings as new age goddess, and foundation legends of shrines revived by new visionaries. Pilgrimage sites function as nodes in intersecting networks of religious discourses, geographical routes and political preoccupations, which become stages for playing out the boundaries between home and abroad, Muslims and Christians, pilgrimage and tourism, Europe and the world. This book shows how the old routes of Europe are offering inspirational opportunities for making new journeys.

Walking to Japan by Carolyn Affleck Youngs,Derek Youngs Pdf
Born in an air raid, Derek Youngs was thrown into the harsh reality of humanity's dark side with his first breaths. No wonder he became a peace pilgrim. His dream to walk to Japan took him throughout the world, trekking over 25,000 kilometres, facing danger, not knowing where he would sleep or find his next meal. He became known as the Peacewalker, gaining international attention. Youngs came to believe that peace is a process rather than a destination, beginning with the individual in relationship to self, then others, then the planet. For him, letting go--of attachments, of power, his own ideals, and even relationships--was key. His focus shifted from the external to the internal, and peace became a mantra, not a manifesto. Part memoir, part collection of parables, Walking to Japan shines with simple wisdom, humour, and love.

Following the mass arrival of European immigrants to Argentina in the early years of the twentieth century new forms of entertainment emerged including tango, films, radio and theater. While these forms of culture promoted ethnic integration they also produced a new kind of polarization that helped Juan Peron to build the mass movement that propelled him to power.
As Daniel Baylis approached his 30th birthday, he asked himself a tough question: Who’s at the steering wheel of my life? The verdict came back unclear, so he decided to take immediate action. He gave up his job and his rent-controlled apartment to tackle one of his biggest dreams—to travel the world. With an objective to not only see places but also to experience them, Baylis spent an entire year sampling a variety of volunteer positions. From an elementary schoolroom in Peru, to Edinburgh’s Fringe Fest, to an organic goat farm hidden in the hills of Galilee (and many places and projects in between), he dove headfirst into immersive travel experiences. With a touch of introspection and a heap of humour, The Traveller presents literary snapshots of twelve very distinct global destinations. What emerges is a portrait of an individual trying to be helpful, along with all the people who helped him along the way. Lively and compelling, The Traveller is required reading for anyone who dreams of international adventures—or for anyone who simply dreams.
