Walk With Me - The Camino Experience

Go From

Yes, I Want To Do This!

to your first steps on the trail and on to Santiago de Compostela

Imagine yourself walking the ancient pilgrimage trail to Santiago de Compostela, exploring the towns and villages of northern Spain and meeting people from all over the world.

Imagine walking for hours each day, immersed in the inner solitude of your own heart and mind as you move through the beautiful outer landscapes.

Your dream of walking the Camino de Santiago is about to become a reality.

Let’s Get You Started . . .

Here’s how:

 By discovering and paying close attention to what you want for a once-in-a-life-time pilgrimage

 By answering all your questions so you are ready to go

 By connecting you with a small group of other first-time pilgrims before you leave for your walk

 By nurturing the determination and courage you need – and already have – to do this trip

 By walking together for the first four days on the trail, from Saint Jean Pied de Port, France, to Pamplona, Spain

Your Camino, your Way!

With the Camino Experience

You can see yourself on the trail, in Spain, walking the Camino, but how do you get there? How do you pull together a trip – a pilgrimage – like this?

I can help. I’ve been there, and not just once or twice. Nearly 20 years of walking the Camino Francés have opened my heart to hundreds of pilgrims just like you who are bravely setting off on this extraordinary journey. But this isn’t about me; this is about you.

You have done plenty of other big things in your life, but this is, well, different. This one has the potential to change your life, to rearrange who you know yourself to be. And oh gosh, it looks like it’s going to be quite an adventure.

Registration is now open for both
2026 Camino Experience groups.

I'M IN!

All Camino Experience groups start in
Saint Jean Pied de Port, France.
Max 12 spots per group.

ALL GENDERS WELCOME
