2000 kilometers on horseback: In search of happiness and peace!
Imagine setting off on a 2,000 kilometer journey – not by car, but on horseback. That's exactly what the author Anne Gänsicke from Grünow in Mecklenburg did. Her adventure, which took her to Moussac in southern France, was not just about reaching a geographical destination, but rather about finding inner peace in a hectic world. At a reading next Sunday at 3 p.m. in Wolfgang Bärmich's gallery in Beenz, she will present her book "With the Horse to Southern France - From Mecklenburg to Moussac", which was published by Hinstorff Verlag.
In her book, Gänsicke describes the challenges and joys of the journey, where the horse not only became a loyal companion for her, but also an important teacher. Gänsicke emphasizes how her loyal co-pilot made her appreciate slowness and increase awareness of the fleeting commodity of time. According to Nordkurier, their encounters along the route were both warm and sobering, making the whole thing a profound experience.
The importance of slowness
Driven by today's performance-based society, many people feel rushed and overwhelmed. In her book, Gänsicke addresses this problem and wants to show her readers how important it is to pause for a moment. “The trip was not only an escape, but also a return to myself,” she explains. In a world full of hectic pace, the connection with your horse also leads to more serenity and inner peace. Horses live in the moment and teach us to leave everyday stress behind us, as HoliHorse emphasizes.
During the reading in the gallery, the book will be related to the current exhibition “History and Stories”. The artists Karl Eschenburg, Katharina Vogt, Pauline Disonn and Wolfgang Bärmich show their work here. The exhibition can be visited on Saturdays and Sundays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. or by appointment until September 28, 2025. This connection between art and literature highlights the importance of personal stories and how they help us think about ourselves.
A lasting impression
Anne Gänsicke's story leaves a lasting impression. Your book is perceived as an inspiring work that not only tells of an adventurous journey, but also encourages you to think about your own inner peace and what it means to live in the here and now. It's about finding the peace that many miss in our hectic everyday lives, and that's exactly what Gänsicke wants to convey to her readers. Read more about their big adventure and let their experiences take you with you. The path to serenity often begins with a simple step, or in her case, a step in the saddle.
