Your Way, Your Camino Workshop

About This Workshop

Join Jo Cavalot, experienced Camino pilgrim with over 5,500km walked across Spain since 2016, for this transformative 1-hour workshop designed to help you take the first steps in planning your Camino de Santiago journey.

The Camino de Santiago is a network of ancient pilgrim routes stretching across Europe, all leading to Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Whether you’re contemplating this journey for spiritual reasons, personal challenge, or cultural exploration, this workshop will provide you with practical guidance and inspiration to begin your preparation.

What You’ll Experience

Personal Pilgrimage Story: Hear Jo’s inspiring journey from first-time pilgrim to Camino expert. Learn how what began as a personal quest transformed her entire life, eventually leading her to move to Spain where she now lives in Vitoria-Gasteiz on the Camino Interior País Vasco.

Camino Philosophy: Discover the core principles of the “Your Way, Your Camino” approach, emphasising that there is no single “right way” to walk the Camino. Learn how to make choices that honour your personal needs, abilities, and intentions.

• Clarify your personal motivation and “why” for walking the Camino
• Identify which Camino route might be best suited for your timeframe, physical ability, and desired experience

Practical Next Steps: Leave with clear, actionable steps to begin your Camino preparation journey, regardless of when or where you plan to walk.
