Join me this June, 2017 for a hiking & writing workshop in Italy and France. One week on these trails is the adventure of a lifetime, with a story to tell forever.
ABOUT. It’s a meme we all know now. It’s the button you click to find out who’s behind a website or a company or an idea. It defines your core characteristics, your essential qualities, what motivates you, what you’re passionate about, and why we want to know you. It’s the modern word for Bio. What does yours say?
WALKABOUT. A walkabout is a traditional Aboriginal rite of passage, a journey undertaken on foot by aboriginal youth who leaves society for a time to face themselves in Nature, to connect with the land, and to take time out for healing and spiritual awakening. It is a journey to discover yourself and identify your true contribution to the world.
WalkABOUT Writing Workshop: Walk Out Your Story on the Trail is a rare opportunity in a noisy, demanding world to take time out and away. For one week in June, leave your everyday life to reconnect with yourself and find new words to express who you are and what you stand for in the world. No matter what else you do – your work, your family, your legacy – you are at the center of it all. Your life is your most creative endeavor.

About Your Guides:
ANJA BOLBJERG hates to see people in pain, frustration or limitation due to physical issues. She knows the feeling very well from having been set back with different serious injuries herself in her Olympic skiing career. Having experienced time and again how properly directed effort makes a huge impact on the body, she makes it her priority to help her clients strengthen and nurture their body to break free of physical constraints and gain confidence and well-being.
Anja lives by the mantra that confidence and satisfaction come with taking action. With a background in biomechanics and in World Class sports as both an Olympic athlete and a trainer, Anja Bolbjerg provides expert guidance, plans and solutions to take the right personally adapted action.
To learn more about Anja’s story, watch her TEDx talk: “Achieve More With Less” or read her part of the book “Turning Points.”
KATHERINE ROBERTSON-PILLING is an international strategic creativity coach, entrepreneur, and author of “The Wheel of Creativity: Taking Your Place in the Adventure of Life.” As an award-winning professional writer for more than 30 years, Katherine has written and produced hundreds of projects for clients from Hollywood to the South of France.
What makes her work unique is The Wheel of Creativity™, her proprietary road map of the creative process, which she uses to train entrepreneurs and business owners to think creatively. Her philosophy is that people who think creatively and act authentically change the world (and their own lives) every day. It begins and ends with the stories you tell.
It was Katherine’s own personal walkabout in 2001 that led her to the French Riviera, where she stayed for 13 years, married an English sea captain and wrote her book. Today she and her husband split their time between Colorado, Nice and the UK.
“NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST.”

Fundamentally, you know who you are and how you need to live. The pace and noise of modern life make it difficult to hear your inner voice and give it expression. But these fundamental processes are essential to a fulfilling human life. Taking time out is essential.
To register:
We all have valuable stories within us. And we struggle to express them because Life gets in the way. If you’re ready to tell the story you’ve never managed to tell for whatever reason, if you are ready to challenge yourself in new ways to discover the uniqueness within you, if you are ready for a breakthrough in any area of your life, then contact us for an interview to see if this program is right for you.
