TrailBliss Story
The story of TrailBliss is complex yet has a simplicity that will resonate with many of you. There was no singular “aha” moment or spontaneous epiphany, it was a slow evolution of an idea. Growing up on a farm under the shadows of the mighty Himalayas sowed a seed of love for nature that bloomed when I first visited Zion National Park and fell in love with the sublime beauty. The love transformed into reverence as I traveled near and far.
During one of these travels, Thich Nhat Nanh’s book found me and led me to mindfulness. I soaked up the wisdom of mindfulness masters to learn, grow, and live my best life - a mindful life. Then the stars aligned and we moved to Washington with immense forests to explore and peaks to climb. My heart overflowed with pure joy as I experienced the power of nature blended with mindfulness.
TrailBliss is born out of those moments of pure joy in 2022; TrailBliss is a sincere wish to share this joy with others. Our focus is on creating mindful outdoor experiences that teach you the basics of hiking while allowing you to connect deeply with the world around you. It is a space for people to connect with each other, with the natural world, and with their own inner selves. TrailBliss strives to inspire and empower people to connect with the natural world in mindful, meaningful ways, and to create a brighter, more connected future for us all.
As we continue on this journey, I am reminded of the words of John Muir, "In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks." TrailBliss's goal is to help people receive that gift of nature in all its wonder and beauty.
A bit about founder
Hello there! I'm Sarvinder
​
TrailBliss began with time on the trail.
Walking, noticing, staying a little longer with what is here.
Mountains and alpine lakes have a way of holding things steady.
I’ve spent enough time in them to trust that.
Washington is home. I feel fortunate for that.
Over the years, a simple curiosity grew into practice.
Yoga. Mindfulness. Sitting, walking, paying attention.
TrailBliss is a way to share that. Nothing more complicated than that.
I volunteer with King County Search and Rescue, Washington Trails Association, and Eastside Friends of Seniors.
Outside of that, I keep things simple.
Photography. Clay. Books. Time with family.
See you at the trailhead.
