Go your own way..

...Together with others…

… In society.

Follow your own rhythm. On the HappyWiseWay, (re-)finding your own rhythm is the main concern. Not the scheme or the planning telling you what to do, but your level of energy, enthusiasm or wants at the moment of your pilgrimage. The day itself determines what you will do, how far you will walk, where you will sleep. Being able to act according to your own rhythm is the art of being a Life Artist.

Embrace simplicity. Allow yourself to reflect on your real needs at a moment that suits you. Material, emotional and spiritual needs. What will you eat and drink on the way? What sorrow do you carry along? What hope do you cherish? Are you connected? Let every day hectic outside of the HappyWiseWay. Turn you telephone to air plane mode, or turn off the sound. Do not read news for a week. Do not check your e-mail and turn on your absence assistant.

Enter into contact. A pilgrimage is a journey into your inner world. After finding your own rhythm and embracing simplicity, you open the door to a wholehearted encounter with other people. They can be fellow pilgrims, but also citizens in the villages you wander through, or hosts and hostesses in whose houses you eat, drink or sleep. Give them your smile, a compliment or a warm word. Leave a trace of friendliness. You might have small presents to give. And remember: happiness grows when shared!

Offer trust.  You are dependent on others at all levels. And others depend on you. Everyone plays a role in this mutual dependence. The idea to have to be fully independent and autonomous is a mistake. A pilgrims realizes this fully in his or her position as a guest and a stranger. Trust is the fundament to help each other. .

Leave the world a better place. As a pilgrim, you wander through the landscape and throug villages. Make it your goal to leave the places where you have been more beautiful than they were. You can do this simply by showing that you found your rhythm, by spreading friendliness, and by giving trust. And you can do this by donating time and effort in volunteering work and by collecting litter.

A word of thanks…
