I would recommend this experience. Walking is therapeutic, being in a group one learns so many things, seeing different ways of living in communities opens your mind and makes you realize that there is an alternative way of living, there are so many beautiful and warm-hearted people... the silence while walking speaks for itself.

While walking one is in contact with nature ,which is healing in itself, with oneself in meditation, and with the other walkers. Marching as one heart. For me, the walk has been a metaphor for my life.

I would recommend this experience to anyone who desires to find themselves, to walk in silence and realize that in the silence there is life, to meet brothers and sisters on the road like me, to be mirrored in each other's eyes and see themselves in their own shine.

These paths are not mere walks, but are paths toward a greater awareness of who we are and what the Other is in relation to ourselves, a metaphor of what happens throughout the journey of life. They are paths toward a humanity the world is looking forward to.

Silence allowed me to feed on nature in all its facets, open all five senses more, communicate with the nonverbal, listen to myself and together with the presence of the group discover and sometimes solve some of my limitations...But these are just words are not enough the express the depth of this experience.

I loved the silence.I discovered the strength in myself and fed on it in every moment on the climbs! I discovered my thoughts, healthy ones, silent conversations with glances, attention to nature at every step, birdsong and bird feathers.

I wasn't actually ready for this silence, I had brought headphones and books to listen to, thinking that I would practically experience the path in solitude... but the choice to remain silent, present on the path, gave me so much more.I discovered a lot about myself, I had a lot of time to reflect on the emotions that were happening to me during the walk.I also made a lot of connections, if only through glances, that surely by isolating myself I would not have had.

Thanks to the silence, I was able to enjoy the trail more, be focused on my steps and enjoy the magnificent views.I was nourished by the sounds of nature and our footsteps, the beauty of the colors, the wind and that subtle force that united the group on the walk.

Especially in the woods, I “rode” the silence as an act of respect and sacredness toward the nature I was passing through, and as an opportunity for a deeper connection with it.

The silence allowed me to enjoy nature, the landscape, the relationship with myself, the connection with others in a completely different way.
