Synopsis "one woman walking: from fear to freedom"
One Woman Walking is about self-healing through walking. Walking solo works positively on the mind, body and soul to release fear, guilt and anger enabling us to attain a genuine sense of freedom - a sense which needs continuous renewal as new challenges arise with unsurprising frequency. Walking facilitates the shedding of negative emotions to regain a true and lasting sense of self-worth, peace and happiness. When the author set out on her first solo Camino in 2015, little did she realise just how much this huge outer journey would also lead to a life-changing inner journey. Walking the Camino de Santiago again in 2018, the author was better armed to fully embrace the soul exploration the Camino offers its pilgrims, as, once again, the journey proved to be a constant source of unsought revelation on deep-rooted emotional and mental issues. Walking the Camino twice solo has helped the author to understand and take responsibility for her emotions, discover a lasting calmness and confidence, learn how to listen to instinct, and understand how to be a better part of the natural world and the human race instead of separated from them. "One Woman Walking is a narrative of: thoughts and feelings that came to me; things that happened to me and things that I made happen; discoveries I made and fears that I overcame; sufferings I endured and wonders that I experienced; animals and people that I met; and perspectives that emerged while out walking. One Woman Walking includes reflections on experiences such as: the pain I endured on some walks; the pleasure of connecting with animals, insects and birds; the wonders I encountered when I was lost; the disappointments I learned to shrug off; and the huge sense of getting to know myself differently, of beginning to like myself and starting to know my own inner truths."
