walk-talk-meditate is an open-source approach to taking pilgrimages in the physical world to harmonize your state of being.
what
This is another iteration of the walk-n-talk movement with an extra component for meditation.
By open-sourcing this we hope people will be inspired to take this idea and start their own pilgrimage around the world.
We provide the template to start your own pilgrimage based on the idea of walk-talk-meditate. You can organize your own group or join another.
walk - there is something about walking that stimulates the flow of a conversation in a spontenous way - strengthening the physical body
talk - ask and share your own unique perspective of the nature of reality we all share - expanding the mental body
meditate - seek the peace and calmness within and harmonize your being with the energy of the group and environment - raising the spiritual body
why
It's more important than ever to take the time away from the business of our daily lives in a hyper-connected world.
This serves as a guide to help you connect with yourself and other like-minded individuals in an environment conducive to harmonize ourselves within.
"Environment is stronger than willpower." - Paramhansa Yogananda
By being in a spiritual environment we naturally become attuned to the energy and frequency of that environment.
This is amplified by the group's energy as well when we harmonize ourselves through group meditations.
"If you wish to understand the Universe think of energy, frequency, and vibration." - Nikola Tesla
We are but a tiny tuning fork vibrating at certain frequency producing energy. The pilgrimage environment raises our energy, frequency and vibration by just our presence alone.
We hope you will take away some lessons and wisdoms from within and without yourself by the end of the pilgrimage and feel the peace and calmness that you have always had within.
who
Anyone can join this journey.
It is recommended that you start a meditation practice beforehand as each meditation session will be at least 30 minutes long.
We do ask people to follow just one rule: treat others as you would treat your highest self
Please be mindful and respectful of each other.
We all have our own unique journey but we all have the same goal.
template
This is serves as a guide on how to create a nice walk-talk-meditate journey.
planning
This is the planning phase of the journey.
Planning is important as it tries to eliminate as much unknowns as possible in the journey to create a nice balance between knowns and unknowns for the whole group.
"Failing to plan is planning to fail" - Benjamin Franklin
people
There are several attributes for people who want to partipate in this journey to make it nice for everyone.
- flexible and chill
- good conversationalist
- introspective
One can send out invitation to people they know that might fit the profiles to start the organizing a walk-talk-meditate journey.
size
The ideal size would be between 8 to 10 people. The max would be 12. Smaller size would work too but the conversation might stall after a few days.
There could a buffer to add one more person because someone else might cancel at the last minute.
duration
The ideal duration would be between 5 to 7 days. The vibe of the group slowly gets built up in the initial days and by the mid point to the end that's when people develop a harmonizing group energy.
Longer and shorter duration might work too depending on the size of the group.
The duration can be very fluid but it is important to set a concrete days and plan it out based on that duration.
NOTE: one can always arrive early and leave latter to take in the new environment by themselves or with others.
