She decided to go on a thru-hike on the Pacific Northwest Trail, which radically changed her life for the better.

An Interview with Robin Henderson on Life as a Zen Hermit Monk, part 1 of 3. In a world dominated by constant stimulation and digital distractions, Robin chose a radically different path—one of silence, solitude, and simplicity. For 100 days, he lived alone deep in the wilderness on a meditation retreat, fully immersed in the practice of Zen. As a modern hermit monk, Robin stepped away from the noise of society to explore the inner landscape of his mind and soul. In this rare and intimate interview, he shares his experiences, insights, and the challenges of living without the comforts—and distractions—of modern life.

We met Feral early in our CDT hike, at a place called the toaster house. After losing touch, we figured he’d be one of those trail friends we’d never cross paths with again. But the trail had other plans. In a moment of pure synchronicity, we ran into him again in Glacier National Park—just miles from the end of his CDT thru-hike and the completion of his Triple Crown.

We met John while hitchhiking into town. Not only did he stop to give us a ride, but he and his friends also welcomed us to their campsite, which had an incredible hot springs, and even invited us to a concert they were heading to. Over the course of the day we spent together, we discovered we shared many common beliefs and values. It turned out to be one of those rare, serendipitous connections that make you feel like you were exactly where you were meant to be.
