Details:
“…even before you sat down with them,
broke bread and drank wine,
wiped the wind-tears from your eyes:
pilgrim they called you again. Pilgrim.”
—David Whyte, from Camino
Embark on a pilgrimage to discover something new about yourself. It isn’t so much a choice you make, as a response to a call already whispered to you. In the experience of encounter with unfamiliarity, you are able to move out of your assumptions, expectations, and preconceived ideas, as a new way of seeing yourself and the world emerges.
Savor spacious time, reunite body, mind, and spirit in meaningful and sacred travel, and connect with fellow seekers while walking the famed pilgrimage trail of El Camino de Santiago, Spain. This unique, slow-paced walking pilgrimage explores the little known parts of El Camino, following Spain’s dramatic coastline while building community, engaging ritual, practicing sacred silence, and opening to personal encounters with local people and stunning landscape.
Praise for the journey from past participants:
· “The incredible sharing of every person in our group along the way touched me. The interconnectedness will be in my heart and mind forever.”
· “I reconnected with what is really essential in my life.”
· “I found the beauty of the environment we walked through, the silence, the stillness to be deeply meaningful.”

I want your pilgrimage experience to be soulfully enriching, stretching and challenging in the best ways, radically hospitable, inspiring, and wildly supportive of where you are. If you’re not sure whether this pilgrimage is right for you, please review the pilgrimage details carefully, and if you feel a ‘yes’ rising up within I eagerly welcome you to join us!
This registration is a commitment both to yourself and to the community that forms around you. Small, intimate groups to support real connectedness. Dropping out affects the group experience and me as small business owner. I know sometimes life intervenes and cancellations happen. However, please be clear on my cancellation policy, and please be clear on your commitment to this experience.
