Lessons in Transformation through Travel
Not your average travel guidebook.
This book explores some of the world’s great pilgrimages, destinations, and the author’s reflections on the lessons she learned from them. Read this book to discover how travel can be transformational, how to be more mindful while traveling and every day, the adventures of traveling alone, the delights of encountering new people and places, ancient pilgrimage journeys and sacred travel worldwide. Written from the perspective of a Buddhist Quaker spiritual teacher, Valerie Brown, who has a knack for capturing life’s wonders in words.
“The insightful discoveries that Valerie shares are evidence that with right mindfulness of body and mind, our outward journey can inform our capacity to travel inwardly—touching the light and peace that dispels busyness, fear, and isolation.“
Thich Nhat Hanh
Zen priest, poet and peace activist
“If you want a ‘travel guide’ that does more, much more, than tell you where tourists should stay and what they should see, this is the book for you. Travel with it and you will travel well, inwardly and outwardly, with open eyes and an open heart.“
