HERE’S WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID

“The retreat was an exceptional experience for me. The hikes through the South West coast and forest and the yoga sessions were a challenging yet exhilarating and healing experience. The writing and creative expression exercises opened the creative avenue within me. Meeting and making new friends was a joy and the food and living arrangements were a great physical comfort. I have recommended your healing program to others and will probably join you again on another adventure in the future. Thank you very much Erika...” Santhi Thevar - Midwife - Bunbury, WA

“...when you give yourself to places, they give you yourself back; the more one comes to know them, the more one seeds them with the invisible crop of memories and associations that will be waiting for you when you come back, while new places offer up new thoughts, new possibilities. Exploring the world is one of the best ways of exploring the mind and walking travels both terrains.” ― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking #edgewalkers #witherika #walkingtours #Mongolia #tavanbogd #walkingtour #wilderness #wildernessculture #travelbucketlist #CentralAsia #goatworthy #wildatheart #amongthewild #traveltheworld #walkingadventures #adventure #adventuretime #creativity #hikingadventure #hikingadventures #justdoit #walking #exploretocreate #followyourpassion #womenwhohike #ospreypacks #mountaingirls #travelgram #ig_travel #travelwild
“Walking is a technique of solitude, a way into reverie. The walker is not a sleepwalker but a daydreamer.” Deirdre Heddo - - What is walking for you?
Happy Saturday!! - - Here’s a little sequence from the last day of a walk through the Turgen National Park last year... an exciting solo walking adventure! - - After walking over a 3,500 pass, I descended to a sunny valley and walked along the Yamat River for 35 km! 😳💪🏼🔥 - - Near the entry to the National Park I met up with my driver and his wife who I wasn’t 100% sure would turn up! But they did!
“Spending time with Erika exploring what is blocking us from exploring our creative passion and giving ourselves permission to do this was inspiring and motivating. Walking on the Cape to Cape each day allowed time for freeing the mind and being in the moment. • • I came home with an open heart, a plan going forward and a sense of believing that I deserve to give myself creative time each day. • • I am worthy of this for my own wellbeing. Thanks so much.” Christine Skeggs – Visual Artist & Art teacher @skeggsart 💛😊🙏🏼
´One day, beautiful adventurer, you’re going to see what we all see in you. And once you do, my God, how you’ll taste the sun!’ Erin van Vuren
After our Edgewalkers expedition last year, I went in a seven day hike through the Turgen National Park in a northwest region of Mongolia called Uvs. When you hike in your own you have so many encounters with local people. - This mother and daughter herders gave me tea and dried cheese and let me rest after a good 5 hours (I still had 3 to go) hiking. - The mother is beating/softening the yak hair before turning it into wool - by hand. 😳😳💛💪🏼🔥 - - How cute is the goat that tried to eat my @ospreyaustralia backpack!
« Erika I loved the hike, specifically: - - The seamless coordination of driving Staying in the same comfortable place every night Your quick walking pace! (They set the pace!) Coffee on the track! Going out just a couple of nights Stopping and getting groceries and supplies Your candour and openness How adventuresome you are with your back packing The laundry facilities How loving and receptive you are... » - - This gorgeous group (couple from Canada and local from Perth) were super fabulous & fit! They walked the Cape to Cape end to end in March. - - Thanks for your kind words Heather! I had a lot of fun.
My mum circa 1977 in her art space ... when we moved into this house I was only 8, I think, or 9. I remember (although the story was explained later) that she poured the concrete for the floor of this outside shed/studio herself. The contractor who built the house was supposed to have done it (and a front garage floor as well) but they didn’t. And basically told my mum it was going to cost a lot more. She told them she was going to do it herself. They laughed. - - I remember her squatting over the wet concrete, smoothing it out with a flat piece of wood, her hair tied back, her thin arms glistening. She would have been less than 30 years old. - - She ended up pouring both concrete floors and then treating, painting and polishing them. 😃💪🏼😳🔥🔥❤️ - She taught me so much but on top of the list are: you can do anything! you can do anything! you can do anything! Happy Mother’s Day.
‘Paripatetic... one who walks habitually and extensively.´ Rebecca Solnit Are you.....paripatetic? 😆
We start the third day hike on the Hakea Trail from Quoin Head, isn’t it stunning? - - Scroll through to see how we get there during our Walking With Wildflowers tour.
A view from East Mt Barren in the Fitzgerald River National Park... - - We’re heading down there again this year to Walk with Wildflowers during the two weeks of the Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show. Want to join us? 10 - 14 SEPT & 18 - 22 SEPT @ravensthorpewildflowershow @australiasgoldenoutback @westernaustralia @ospreyaustralia
‘I must have flowers, always and always’ Claude Monet - - How would he have painted our wildflowers? Not a water lily in sight but look at these unique beauties 😍😍 in UNESCO listed Fitzgerald Biosphere in southwest Western Australia - It is part of a network of 669 reserves across the world, globally recognised for their natural diversity and significance. - - The biosphere contains more than 1,600 species of plants, with many rare and endangered species.... - we go walking amongst them. 😃💛 - - @westernaustralia @fitzgeraldcoast @ravensthorpewildflowershow @australiasgoldenoutback
I read somewhere that behind every selfie are 37 other selfies, almost identical, that just didn’t make the cut. There was only one take for this one.... hard to take a bad selfie on the Cape to Cape 😍 Especially over Contos Beach!
