PNWCOAST2

Thank you for visiting! Last year (2023), I spent 7-weeks walking from Florence, OR to Vancouver, B.C. with my partner, Ben. You can see some of the photos and reflections here. It was such an incredible experience. This year (2024), we committed to finish the Oregon Coast Trail going south from Florence, OR to the California state line. We begin our 3-week on-foot journey on Wednesday, July 17th. We plan to return home to Colorado on August 6th.  

 

As many of you know, longer walks like these are instrumental to my creative process. I will be writing, drawing, and storytelling on themes related to walking for health, connection and justice throughout the route. See the ink art shop, Pedestrian Dignity page and WALK book details (North Atlantic Books) for more details. I have included a route information below.

​

You can also get updates on the trip by joining my Patreon community here. I will also share occasional updates on Instagram (@jstallz, @intrinsicpaths, @pedestriandignity).

SPONSORSHIP

I will be working on a variety of creative projects throughout the walk including pen artwork, writing/poetry, Pedestrian Dignity documentation, Walk2Connect/America Walks programming and more. As many of you know, much of my creative work is nourished from the ground up. There are some cool perks for becoming a sponsor below. All sponsors will be listed to the right of this paragraph unless requested otherwise. Thank you for considering!

​

As always, the absolutely best way to support and move alongside my creative work is to become an Intrinsic Paths patron. Past and current patrons, you are forever gifts to me.
