Called to pilgrimage…
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.
Reunite body, mind, and spirit through transformational and sacred travel, and connect with fellow seekers while walking the famed pilgrimage trail of El Camino de Santiago, Spain, September 16-25, 2016.
More about this walking pilgrimage…
This 70-mile walk is at a snail’s pace and is with the support of a private van, loaded with healthy snacks when you want it, giving you time to soak in this ancient and compelling landscape dotted with quiet, charming villages, forests and coastal views, and the ease of carrying a light daypack. A Sabbath Rest Day is planned, giving your body and spirit a chance to receive, integrate and consolidate your experiences. As an added bonus, upon reaching Finisterra, you can receive the Fisterrana, a certificate of completion of this epic pilgrimage. Lodgings are beautifully restored farmhouse inns with exceptional regional delicious Spanish cuisine and local wine. All rooms have private baths. The smaller country inns have the serenity of no phones or TV in the rooms. Explore mindful walking and reflective practices, including daily gathering for poetry, song, sharing, and mutual discovery to deepen your experience. Savor periods of silence, dialogue, and journaling, using the pilgrimage road as metaphor.
Praise for the journey from past participants:

• “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.”
