“Walking as a Sacred Practice: How to Turn an Ordinary Walk into a Meaningful Journey."
Based on the award-winning book, WildWood Magic: A Guide to Walking as a Sacred Path.
Discover how the simple act of walking can awaken intuition, ground presence, and transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. In this immersive talk, Collin shares her own transformational journey and the wide-ranging benefits of walking for the body, mind, and spirit. She introduces a practical 40-day pathway for commitment and accountability, guiding participants to slow down, pay attention, and experience the subtle magic that emerges when we walk with intention.
"My work lives where earth meets spirit, where trails become pilgrimages, and where every step holds the power to awaken, heal, and transform. I help nature lovers walk with intention — weaving together the wisdom of the wild, ancient earth rituals, and practical backcountry expertise." - Collin Chambers
Collin Stuart Chambers is the founder of WildWood Walking and is widely recognized for encouraging people to reconnect with nature through the simple act of walking. After losing over 100 pounds by adding a daily walk to her life, she now inspires people to reclaim their energy and self-confidence through meaningful movement outdoors.
Over the course of her career as a professional speaker, backpacking guide and walking coach, outdoor gear shop owner, and facilitator of events around the world, she has helped countless people discover their inner strength and resilience. Her own path has taken her from hiking the entire 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail to mystical sojourns throughout South America, Nepal, Europe, and India.
She has served as the long-season Ridgerunner on the Appalachian Trail for multiple seasons and wrote the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Ridgerunner Handbook, a training manual for future trail stewards. She is a certified Wilderness First Responder, Backcountry Survival Instructor, Leave No Trace Master Educator, and the award-winning author of WildWood Magic: A Guide to Walking as a Sacred Path, and the forthcoming book, The Mastery of Backpacking: Walking as a Path to Empowerment.
