Beschreibung

So often we are drawn to nature for solace and peace in times of spiritual need. Are we searching for hope by becoming entrenched in the wilderness where untamed surroundings provide a natural order of life or are we just running from fear hoping to escape a dilemma where no one can find us? Stephen Altschuler believes that solitude in nature is the most effective way to face our fears by allowing us the chance to slow down and observe how even the smallest forms of life survive adversity from such harsh conditions as weather, predators and humans. At what point does the 'trail' become the 'path'? Join Stephen Altschuler as he leads you on a walk along the trails of Point Reyes National Seashore in Northern California. Even though he has been down this trail many times, each step provides a new opportunity to re-examine his place in nature. Now you can share in his experiences so that someday you may eventually discover your own path.
