Join Matthew on a profound journey where trekking transcends mere travel, diving deep into the art of mindfulness amidst the backdrop of Japan's serene Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. As Matthew retraces each step and ritual—from purifying with water and ringing sacred bells, to lighting incense and candle for loved ones—the journey becomes a meditative dance with the present moment. Discover how these practices not only shaped the path beneath his feet but also offered lessons in patience, presence, and peace that resonate beyond the trail.

Through vivid storytelling, this episode invites listeners to slow down and savor the richness of now, transforming not only the way they walk through trails but the paths they tread in life itself. The solemn rituals and the whispered mantras of peace, love, and health become a guiding compass, illustrating the transformative power of being present. Whether you're a seasoned trekker or new to the journey, these stories offer inspiration for embracing mindfulness in all adventures.
