Mindful Hiking
Craic is the Irish word for fun. Suí is the Irish word for sit.
While we recommend that you suí (pronounced see) we also recommend that you do things 'just for the craic' i.e. with no other purpose in mind but to be present and enjoy connection with nature. Simplicity is the key.
This is how children operate, they don't get enjoyment out of what they do...they put enjoyment into what they do!
I decided to climb Croagh Patrick each month for 2019 just for the craic. A mindful climb.
New Year's day was the first climb and it was magical. The air, the cloud formation, the energy, the great people that I met along the way. Hope you enjoy the photos.....and that they inspire you to do something ...just for the craic!
