Kim Slater was standing on her hands when the idea just came to her — there should be an awareness-run along the length of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines.
She popped up from her handstand with sudden clarity and singular purpose.
"Often when I teach (yoga) I talk about the innate wisdom of your heart, and when you do an inversion it's like that wisdom percolates to your mind," said Slater. "All of a sudden you get a little glimpse of your heart energy."
Her heart was telling her mind that something needed to be done to raise awareness, and kick-start the much-needed grassroots conversation about Canada's energy future before the tar sands and pipeline infrastructure is developed.
What is Canada's vision for a renewable clean energy future?
On July 8, Slater, 32, is setting out on a 1,170 kilometre journey — the length of the proposed pipelines — to ask British Columbians that very question, amongst others.
