Right now, a group of monks are walking—step by step—from Texas to Washington, DC.
No cars, no spectacle.Just bodies in motion, breath by breath, prayer by prayer.
In a time when our nervous systems are under constant assault, this walk feels like a quiet, radical act. A reminder that change doesn’t always come through force or volume, but through presence, commitment, and endurance.
Walking is one of our most regulating human rhythms. It’s bilateral. It’s grounding. It’s ancient. And these monks are offering that rhythm as a living prayer—for peace, for humanity, for our collective capacity to keep going without hardening.
We wanted to spotlight this because it aligns so deeply with what we practice here in this community:
- Slowing down
- Staying embodied
- Choosing connection over collapse
- Letting the body lead when the world feels overwhelming
I am particular inspired by the people that join them along the way and how it has grown over the months. What helps you stay rooted when the world feels loud and relentless?
