What is Wayfinding?


The Godwits rely on their wayfinding skills as they undertake their arduous migration from Alaska to New Zealand. Humans also have this extraordinary navigation ability. The early Polynesian voyagers and the Vikings (to whom I can trace lineage) were some of the best wayfinders in history. They could navigate across oceans and seas using the stars, sun, wave patterns and other natural cues, as well as their instinct developed over generations. For me, this conjures images from the film Moana where she navigates across the ocean using the stars and being guided by her grandmother's spirit in the form of a stingray.
In today's chaotic world, we seem to have forgotten to listen to and use these skills. With Your Wayfinding, my focus is to help you re-discover your wayfinding skills to navigate your life with purpose, intention and a deeper connection to your instinct.
