“Hola Caminantes de sal!

The concept for Saltwalk was simple. Create an event that can have a transformative influence on someone’s life by supporting them to invest in themselves and create a pivotal, or at least disruptive, point in their lives.

Saint Augustine is credited to have said, “Solvitur Ambulando” - “It is solved by walking” - and I wanted to delve deeper into that statement.

The human condition is built on 5 key pillars of success - Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Psychological and Material - I believe, in that order of priority.

Saltwalk was about creating an environment where people could access benefits to each pillar of their life through a positive location, climate, natural ecosystem, task, community, openness, reflection and interaction.

I wanted to stimulate the ‘Happy Hormones’ of Serotonin (Mood stabiliser) through exposure to the sun and nature, Dopamine (Sense of reward) through completing a very meaningful challenge/s , Endorphins (The pain killer) through exercise and fun and, Oxytocin (The love hormone) through a sense of support, caring and community from your fellow Saltwalkers.

The point is this, if you’re able to condition your own mindset to live for the best feelings in life, and not focus as much on those that affect you negatively, you can be the ‘Salt’ in your own life and that’s the construct I’m selling. Independence to positively affect great successful manifestations of your dreams and aspirations.
