Sacred Places: where to find wonder in the world
Wellness travellers are seeking transformative experiences – wellness is, by nature, a journey and a quest. The concept of transformative travel is about finding experiences through trips that shift perspective and allow digital detoxing, connection with oneself, nature, communities and a sense of the bigger picture in life.
Sacred Places is an exploration for seekers of unusual and enlightening destinations, for both armchair travelling and as inspiration for future journeys. The book is as much about experiences as describing the wonder of the place. Examples include plant medicine ceremonies in South America, walking the Camino Way, Stonehenge on the winter solstice, wild swimming in Iceland’s sacred hot springs and silent retreats. Readers will also learn about the history and geography of the place, significant stories, dates to visit, myths, legends and ceremonies.
