Wellness travellers are seeking transformative experiences - wellness is, by nature, a journey and a quest. The concept of transformative travel is about finding experiences through trips that shift perspective and allow digital detoxing, connection with oneself, nature, communities and a sense of the bigger picture in life. Sacred Places is a stunning new coffee table exploration for seekers of unusual and enlightening destinations, for both armchair travelling and as inspiration for future journeys. The book will be particularly focused on experiences, in addition to a full description of the place. For example, plant medicine ceremonies in South America, walking the Camino Way, Stonehenge on the winter solstice, wild swimming in Iceland's sacred hot springs and silent retreats. Entries also introduce the history and geography of the place, significant stories, dates to visit, myths, legends and ceremonies. Includes: NATURAL SANCTUARIES MOUNTAINS, ROCKS AND HILLS WATERFALLS, LAKES AND RIVERS TREES, GROVES AND FORESTS CAVES, GROTTOES AND CAVERNS IN SEARCH OF THE DIVINE TEMPLES AND STUPAS CATHEDRALS, CHURCHES AND CHAPELS PREHISTORIC SITES PLACES OF HEALING WELLS, SPRINGS SHRINES OF SAINTS, RELICS THERMAL POOLS STRETCHES OF OCEAN FOR BATHING SACRED GARDENS AWAY FROM THE WORLD MONASTERIES, STUPAS REMOTE ISLANDS RETREATS REMEMBERING THE ANCESTORS CATACOMBS, TOMBS, CEMETERIES WRITTEN ON THE LAND CHALK FIGURES ANCIENT TRACKS MAZES AND TURF LABYRINTHS LAND ART.
