Your Camino Group Journey
Your Camino - May 19 to May 31, 2013. Group Walk in Spain with Sue Kenney
Your Camino 211 kilometers. 11 days. As a simple pilgrim. This spiritual pilgrimage has been designed for individuals who are interested in embarking on a walking journey of self-discovery and adventure. You’ll slow your life down to 4 kilometers an hour and carry everything you need on your back, while living the simple life of a pilgrim. This allows for more time to look inward, if you so desire. It’s a unique experience. You’ll join Sue Kenney as your Camino guide and coach. We’ll walk 211 kilometers over 11 days, stepping into the footsteps of millions of pilgrims who have walked this path before you. We’ll follow the Camino Frances route of the medieval pilgrimage path known as the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in the north of Spain. Next Fall 2013 Group Camino - September 8 to September 20th.

Your Camino Coaching Program One of the unique benefits of this experience is the coaching and support you’ll receive from Sue Kenney before, during and after the Camino, to help prepare you physically, mentally and spiritually for this mystical journey. The Camino is like a portal for creativity and it’s believed that we can manifest more intensely on this mystical path. As part of the spiritual coaching, you’ll have an opportunity to prepare yourself to open possibilities, develop skills to manifest desires, increase creativity and practice mindfulness: the balance between activity and surrender. There will be five group conference calls set up prior to leaving and one call after you return home from the Camino. You will be given information about what to pack, clothing and equipment recommendations, and helpful tips for the journey. Dates, times and contact numbers to be provided later. You will have unlimited email support provided by Sue Kenney, to address any questions or concerns you have throughout the planning stages and when you return. The main elements of the pilgrimage route will be planned for you covering details such as: itinerary description (the overall journey and projected daily routes); accommodation options will be provided based on availability; practical information; cultural and historical information; and more. This comes with a caution: although we are making plans, the Camino will unfold as it should and one should approach this journey with an open mind. During the pilgrimage, Sue will be available throughout the day, on the path for coaching, guidance and leadership. Sue will carry a cell phone for emergency purposes. It is expected that pilgrims will carry their own weight (approx 15lbs). Sue puts an emphasis on developing a personal training program that is tailored to your needs to prepare you to walk on average 20 kilometers a day. If this is a concern, please discuss it with Sue as there are some other options.
