Yesterday, I walked 26.2 kilometers around Lake Esrum \u2014 a training walk for the Mammutmarch in Berlin this Saturday, where I\u2019ll be walking 42 kilometers around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m convinced I can do it. It will be a full marathon of movement, breath, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk around Lake Esrum, like many of my long walks over the past two years, became a way to live my own story and strength \u2014 through my feet, through the forest, through the ancestral whispers that linger in the old trees of Gribskov on the western side of the lake, and the majestic presence of Fredensborg Castle on the eastern side. These walks have become rituals of connection and meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought a walk around Lake Esrum would serve both as a training session for Berlin and as a therapeutic way to connect with myself, the land, the history, and my own lineage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
