Dear Sand Walking Peace Seeking Warrior,

Have you ever spent decades wanting something for your body, soul and spirit and it eludes you?

That was me for 18 years.

Hi, my name is Ann McDonald and I founded The Grounding Path™ after waiting nearly 2 decades to build a path to walk around our Lake Tahoe A Frame.

For years I had wanted a place to put my feet in the sand while walking the land around our cabin. 

Have you ever simply wanted to walk to clear your head?

I wanted a place to go slowly and meditate on what was good.. 

Have you ever needed a place to breathe deeply?

Finally, in 2019, we were able to clear some space for my path. As we were laying it out, I kept thinking to myself - this is my new grounding path™...

...and before I could take another step, I knew we had something we had to share.

I shared the name with no one until I found peace. And then, I created this brand, The Grounding Path™ for you and others like you: sand walking future or current, peace seeking warriors for good.

THE PLAN:

We gathered rocks of all shapes and sizes from the land to act as the border of this winding path. Each one simply placed, some balanced, some not, some even, some not.

We followed the curves of the land around the A Frame. We used sticks like children playing to mark out the path. We dug a little, we moved rocks and Vanessa and Daniel made it come to life.

The living nature of the rocks and sand makes it new every day.

"Live Alive"™ I like to say, and the path was making this possible.

Having lived for nearly 6 years in New York City, I cherished the space to walk, and I thought about how we could provide plans for outdoor and indoor grounding no matter where people lived.

And so, the DIY plans were born.

Some to download, the more elaborate to ship. All with items you can order directly or source locally to you.

These are not building plans, these are sketches and illustrations for Grounding Paths™. The landscape plans will come, for now, we download sketches and layers. For now, we place rocks and sand.

THE MEDITATIONS:

Have you ever had voices in your head that aren't good?

I knew, even in Lake Tahoe, the voices could break through - the bad ones, and so I created meditations to listen to and repeat while I walked.

Simple, short, peace filled power.

THE REST:

Well, it's unfolding, like the sand and rocks do daily showing us how to "Live Alive"™

We welcome you to The Grounding Path™ and invite you to join our journey to peace, our journey to your piece of peace.

From the forest of Lake Tahoe to you and your soul, LIVE ALIVE my peace seeking, sand walking warrior,

Ann McDonald, aka - A.
