Your Way, Your Camino Workshop
Something is calling you to walk the Camino.
You might not be able to explain it yet. Something happened — a loss, a change, an ending, a feeling that your normal life no longer quite fits. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, the Camino appeared. A friend mentioned it. You watched a film. You read something. And now you cannot stop thinking about it.
This workshop is for you.
What this hour is
This is not a planning lecture. You will not leave with a spreadsheet.
In 2020 I walked the Camino Primitivo. I didn’t really want to go. I was carrying a second miscarriage and the anticipatory grief of watching my mum die before she had died — what they call ambiguous loss. My mum made me promise to go. She knew, before I did, that I needed to be on the Camino to be OK.
The Camino did not fix any of it. But it gave everything somewhere to land in a way that nothing else had. Days and days of walking, mostly alone, with no way to go home and no way to rush through what needed to be felt. Something changed on that Camino that has never changed back.
That is why I do this work. Not to give people a holiday. To help them receive what the Camino is already offering them.
In this hour we will look at what the Camino does that nothing else quite does. Why the space it offers — days and days of it, uninterrupted — is different from a weekend retreat or a therapy session or a mindfulness app. Why the things you have been trying to process in the small windows of normal life might finally have somewhere to land.
And we will do something together that I think will shift something for you.
What you will leave with
- A clearer sense of why you are being called — not just where you want to walk, but what you are walking towards
- A feel for which route might be right for you, without the overwhelm of comparing every option at once
- The thing most people get wrong about the Camino — and why getting it right changes everything about the experience
- Enough practical grounding to make it feel real and possible, wherever you are in your planning
- Clear next steps, whatever stage you are at
Who this is for
You are feeling called to the Camino and you are not entirely sure why.
You might be in the middle of something — a loss, a transition, a question you cannot quite form yet. You might have been doing the work for years — therapy, workshops, retreats — and something is still unresolved. You might be ready to go, or nearly ready, and you want someone to walk you through what it really means to prepare. Inside and out.
You do not need any Camino experience. You just need to be curious about what it might offer you.
