Pilgrimage

Go outside. Sleep on the dirt. Be happy.

Purpose of a spiritual trip is to connect with the world - we're all one man.

The best way to do that alone... would be some9whete secluded, preferably with a lot of starlight for gazing.

Howdy /x/, there are lots of good places depending on where you are and your travel budget. But >>949774 makes a good point, you don't need to find the perfect spot. Just find a spot where you can be alone and outside and strip away the annoyances and dristractions of modern life.

A campfire helps, if you're on some sort of a vision quest (like any good /x/phile should be) you can stare into the flames and let your mind wander. Same with going somewhere dark and looking at the stars like >>949784 says (if you're really lucky you might see some northern lights).

>Any stories?
Any I have are probably pretty boring to tell whatever impact they made on me, since those sorts of experiences are internal. It's too late tonight but i might greentext them tomorrow.

Are you going to hike?

If you're european there's a lot of "pilgrimage-routes" around the EU, the Camino being the most famous (and crowded). A friend and I walked for about a month in Norway on a pilgrimage route and even though none of us are christian the trip turned out to have quite a spiritual feel in the end.
At one point I got a knee injury and we ended up staying for free at a monestary for a day. We talked a lot to the priest there and he gave us a bible which we carried with us for the rest af the walk.

I personally found hiking to every spring noted on the 7.5' series maps of Sedona much more enlightening than the Vortexes (vortices to be proper).

I lived ther for 17 years and only hiked a Vortex by chance, coincidence or unwittingly. Nothing to them, imo. But the springs are hiking with a purpose!

It goes in lines of self discovery. Crazy spiritual events have torn me inside and i just need to find out where do i truly stand in a semi religious point of view.

Figure meeting spiritual people and places on the trip should give it a charm to it. Surely trying Ayahuasca on Peru with the shamans, asking for wishes on Helgafell or simply seeing historic Christian monasteries would make things more interesting. There will be alone time in the journey regardless.

Neat story, thanks for sharing.

The Camino de Santiago would be great if it wasn't so crowded, but as a native Spaniard I'd suggest just wandering around the country roads of northern Castille (Burgos, Soria), Navarre and the Basque Country. Very rural, lots of mountains and a lot of monasteries and places of spiritual worship that even if you're not Catholic give off a very pleasant, spiritual vibe. Also very cheap areas if you decide to lodge somewhere instead of sleeping outside, but the weather is not that extreme out there anyway.

It's funny because I just got offered a trip to Spain by my brother a few minutes ago. I take this as a sign, thanks for the tips.

St. Olafs Leden.
We began in Oslo but unfortunately we "only" made it to Oppdal because of limited time. I believe we walked for about 23 days or so.
