Amid the vibrant streets of Hanoi, I discovered a quieter rhythm, one that reconnected me to myself with every step. A chance encounter with Thich Nhat Hanh’s Peace in Every Step reminded me that presence is a practice, a returning home to the self.
Years later, walking the rugged terrain of Colorado, I carry his wisdom with me. Rewilding my spirit has meant slowing down, listening to the earth, and embracing the sacred act of simply being. This reflection is a meditation on movement, nature, and the profound freedom found in walking toward wholeness—one breath, one step at a time.

Rewilding the Spirit: A Journey Back to the Self
![]()
For years, I wandered across countries, through unfamiliar streets, and deep into the landscapes of my own becoming. Travel shaped me, stripping away expectations and allowing me to discover who I was beyond the narratives I had inherited. But the true journey, the one that reconnected me to my voice, my presence, and my wholeness, began when I was forced to slow down.
Through the transformative power of creativity, illness, and self-inquiry, I came to understand that healing is an actual return to ourselves. This reflection explores the moments that shaped me: the clarity found on a quiet balcony in Hanoi, the ability to adapt, learned from illness, and the presence demanded by both adventure and stillness. Join me in exploring what it means to rewild the spirit, to embrace life with intention, creativity, and a deep connection to self.
