Recently, some friends and I walked to it‘s summit.  It was an adventurous journey

I had been looking forward to getting a better understanding of MovNat for a number of years. Having read a few articles, watched a few videos and checked out their Facebook page, I figured I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting

Fortunately, life is also a path which we are able to at least partly design for ourselves!
