In this guided meditation, our founder Esther leads a calming practice designed to help you cultivate inner peace and mindful presence....

Our founder Esther recently gave a heartfelt Dharma talk exploring themes of compassion, mindfulness, and the importance of staying connected in challenging times.

Recently, our founder Esther spoke with KLCC’s Oregon on the Record  about Liberty Walks’ inspiring journey across the country to promote...

Before setting off each morning, the walkers circle up to remind ourselves and one another of the way we walk. I'll post the words here,...

Esther, as she is in most things, is a fearless and fierce walker - she charges ahead, head down, back straight, arms pumping, and she and Bob blazed a trail so far ahead that at times, we lost sight of them. You definitely have to have stamina to keep up with the super-duo!

eople came with their big hearts and their well wishes and their questions about just how are we going to do this thing? It was a powerful good send-off that included a temple blessing for the walkers and original songs written and performed by the Raging Grannies.

Liberty Walks isn’t a protest. It’s not a platform. It’s a long, soft practice of presence. 2,800 miles of slowing down on purpose. Of being willing to walk without demanding an answer.

May the frenzy we feel now be but a distant memory once we hit the trail and realize that really, truly, we have everything we need. Plus enough tinfoil to wrap the entire RV three times over 😂

Launch is this Friday - we’ll be meeting at the Buddha Eye Temple in the morning and will begin our walk from there (after coffee, tea, snacks, and an orientation around safety and the rules of the road).

...we now have our Liberty Cruiser (a name that vehicle contest may soon be underway...) and our Liberty Walks Support Driver, one Matthew Boudreau!

Update! Soon, we will be getting a new website with a whole new interface!

Everything about this endeavor has fallen into place in the right time, in the right way, so I imagine that finding the driver will be no different... there is a level of trust in this process - maybe call it faith - that has been neccessary as we move along. So far, that faith has served us well!

The best way I know to shift out of fear and into a new paradigm is to put myself in motion.

“The United States has always been an idea. Never perfect, always a work in progress. The “WE” that speaks in our Founders’ documents has...

We never expected to discover such a country of hospitality, care, easy connection, and empathy.  Seattle to DC on two wheels completely changed my sense of my country, and of myself.

Now, I know - this image only shows nine people, but take my word for it, there were at least four more who are not shown here, but who...

I thought to myself that 8 miles goes quickly when you have such beautiful views to take in from time to time. Eight miles took us four hours, even with breaks for water, snacks, and a climb up into the nook of the most perfect maple tree. That pencils out to approximately 10 hours each day on the walk dedicated to putting one foot in front of the other.

This training walk was special for two additional reasons: we were joined by a reporter from the Eugene Weekly (it was great to meet you, Eve!), and we were wearing our Liberty Walks swag!
