Pulling Up Stakes: Stepping into Freedom

On a High Sierra packtrip with her husband and their six llamas, psychologist Harriet Wrye felt a millennial call to pull up stakes in her life, as she did with tent stakes and llama stakes each day as they moved along the trail. Inspired, she closed her Los Angeles psychoanalytic practice of thirty years , they leased their house at the beach, and set out on a journey to the back of beyond. Creating a sabbatical from the familiar, her journey became a life-changing spiritual pilgrimage that led to a deep practice of letting go of assumptions, habits and patterns, and stepping into freedom.
