Walk in Beauty, Walk Mindfully: Pilgrimage of El Camino de Santiago, Spain, September 16-25, 2016

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, September 16-25, 2016. This unique, slow-paced walking pilgrimage, walking mindfully, 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.

In addition to daily mindful walking along El Camino, this pilgrimage includes periods of quiet self-reflection, silence, dialogue, and journaling, deepening your own heart and mind and using the pilgrimage road as our daily metaphor. Each night we rest at beautifully restored farm houses known as casa rurales and family run pazos, Galician manor houses and hotels located along El Camino and situated in small towns and quaint villages. Region-delicious breakfasts and dinners are included most days and local wine is served with dinner. All rooms have private baths.

Great reasons this pilgrimage is ideal for you:

• Spacious time to listen to your own inner wisdom and the courage to act with integrity;
• Deepen your discernment about life transitions and life direction and walk inspired by the beauty of Spain’s hidden gem, the Galician coast;
• Connect with a small community of like-minded seekers; the pilgrimage is limited to 15 persons;
• Foster the capacity for adaptive change, resilience, and growth, learning new skills through pilgrimage travel;
• Navigate uncertainty, paradox, and complexity on the pilgrim’s path; and
• Lead and live with authentic presence.

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.”
