Camino workshops and presentations
 A few years ago, the challenging events of my life, combined with the resources that appeared when I needed them framed my eagerness to learn and progress. I was stuck in my comfortable life and the emptiness I felt in spite of my high level of material well-being. I grasped my need to look inside and to find my inner strength. It is difficult to separate the influence of one event or resource from another; however, my pilgrimage in Spain stands out in a series of life-changing events. This is the same pilgrimage where authors Shirley MacLaine, Paulo Coelho and others had deep spiritual experiences. Like many before me, I was on a different path after walking on the Camino.

Camino de Santiago Information Session

The Camino is a series of 1000-year-old pilgrim trails across France and northern Spain. At the height of its popularity in mediaeval times several hundred thousand people walked it a year.  Today, people walk the Camino de Santiago to enjoy an economical holiday, to exercise, to commune with nature, to learn about European history, to meet new and interesting people, and to celebrate their spirituality. Many people deal with personal transitions while hiking the Camino. Some start as hikers and end as pilgrims. Includes a slide presentation and a one-on-one discussion with the leader. Three hours Brooke Broadbent
