In 2018, Kathy Elkind and her husband Jim decided to take a grown-up "gap year" in Europe and walk the 1,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France.
At fifty-seven, Kathy chose comfort over hardship: she and Jim indulged in warm beds and delicious regional food. But the GR5 was not all comfort. Walking day after day for ninety-eight days brought sickness, hardships, language barriers, and storm-shrouded mountains in the Alps. But as the days unfolded Kathy discovered a path to inner wisdom and strength through the meditation that walking and the healing
power of landscapes facilitate.
Kathy's talk will inspire you to lace up your walking shoes and discover your own path.
