World Sauntering Day celebration is on the 19th of June of every year. The purpose of Sauntering Day is to remind us to take it easy and smell the roses. It is celebrated to enjoy life as opposed to rushing through it. It is also sometimes referred to as International Sauntering Day. Sauntering is a verb that describes the style of walking. It is not a sashay, trot, prance, o lollygag. It is just to walk slowly, preferably with a joyful disposition. Sauntering has been spoken of most notably by many of the naturalist writers in history, including Henry David Thoreau and John Burroughs.
History Of World Sauntering Day
The Word Sauntering denotes walking in a slow and relaxed manner, without hurry or effort. The exact origin of the day is unclear, but it is credited to have begun at the Grand Hotel, which is located on Mackinac Island in Michigan. It happened during the 1970s. A response by the W.T.Rabe to a growing movement toward the recreation of jogging. Some records show that it was started by W.T.Rabe in 1979 as a reply to the sworn enemy of the Saunter, Jogging. The idea was to encourage the people, instead of jogging, to slow down to appreciate what is around them. The Sauntering Day is the opportunity for you to head out into the world and approach it with a deeply relaxed air. You can feel the moment of pure clarity and joy; all these happen while enjoying the beautiful world which is around you and everything it has to offer.
