Waypoint Narratives + Walk Thoughts
The intention of “Waypoint Narratives” is to share the impact that exploration on the trails and in nature has had on people through a series of five structured questions. Each person is asked the same five questions and are given the freedom to respond in whatever format they choose.
“Walk Thoughts” are short blogs written by Dani on a wide array of topics that come from pondering on the trail.
Walk Thought: Root to Rise
This blog explores the concept of "root to rise" in yoga as a metaphor for awakening and growth in life.

Walk Thought: Unearthing Playfulness
In this blog, we reflect on the importance of play throughout various stages of life and as I share my personal journey from childhood play to the discovery of playfulness in adulthood. The narrative highlights the evolution of play, the challenges of maintaining it, and the overlap between play and practice in relationships.

Walk Thought: Growth Edge
