Amy Longfellow
Integrative Health Coach
I came across the word abide in the Bible. Jesus said, “Abide in Me, and I in you” (John 15:5). He explained that the life he wants me to live only happens if I stay close to him, talk to him, listen to him and let him direct my life. It felt like an invitation from God to rest in him. He reminded me that I am at my best when I am confident that he loves me and when I am hiking in the woods and exploring. He connected abiding in him with my love of hiking. Abiding Hikes was born.
My Journey
Your Journey
Now, it’s your turn to engage with God through Abiding Hikes. I don’t know if you are seeking joy, love, peace, patience or healing in your life but God does. I know that those gifts come from life lived by abiding in him. Let’s explore what God has for your life as we hike and abide together.
Abiding Hikes offers a pathway to improved spiritual health through guided contemplative hiking
What is an Abiding Hike?
​
An Abiding Hike is a 75 minute walk through nature with spiritual prompts provided by Amy. It is preceded by a customized homework to prepare the client for the experience.
Before the Hike
The client submits a spiritual health inventory to give me a snapshot of current spiritual health status and spiritual health goals. I provide a no cost, 20-minute, telephonic welcome interview to clarify goals and to choose a mutually agreed upon, centrally located, park or nature center for our Abiding Hike.
The Hike
​
There is a 10-minute pre-hike check-in with the client and an introduction of the spiritual tool for that day’s hike. The client and I take a 5-minute walk to the trailhead as I pray and walk with them. We enter into 30 minutes of silence and contemplation as we begin our hike together on the trail.
At the 30-minute mark we turn around make our way back to our starting point talking, walking and sharing spiritual insights that we have sensed from God related to the client’s spirituality. In closing, I pray with the client and the Abiding Hike is completed.
After The Hike
I pray at home for the client, reflect on what was shared hours of the completed hike.
