Walking in Northern Michigan

discovering labyrinths and other sacred places near the 45th parallel

Summers at the lake have been a tradition in my family for generations. Halfway between the north pole and the equator, the energy in this part of the Great Lakes region is imbued with magic. The lakes themselves are mystical and mythical, and there are many other sacred places to discover nearby.
