🌟 SPIRIT YEAR: THE GIFT OF PILGRIMAGE 🌟

We are offering a Spirit Year, inviting you to walk with us on the Camino de Santiago from May 15th – June 23rd, 2024 filling in the group spots we had reserved for our walking residency program. This means the cost of our guided walk on the Camino will be covered as a gift, and participants will only be responsible for the costs of the accommodations and their personal expenses, including meals. Under this agreement, our services for preparation and booking will be included.

Cost: $1200 (Accommodations + Transportation from Madrid to SJPDP)

Price includes:

  • A Virtual Prep meeting (w/ individual coaching as needed)

  • Camino Prep packet with recommended gear list and training schedule

  • Travel itinerary with virtual maps of the route and destinations

  • 1 night in a Madrid hostel

  • 1 train ticket from Madrid to Pamplona

  • Transportation from Pamplona to SJPDP

  • ALL ACCOMMODATIONS ON THE CAMINO FRANCÉS (SJPDP to Santiago de Compostela)

*Spots are limited. Cost does not include: Airfare to and from Madrid, food, gear, travel/international travel health insurance, and transportation from Santiago de Compostela back to Madrid.

Preparation is essential! In addition to financial considerations, you'll become fully integrated into our group, collaborating in the months ahead to prioritize safety and build confidence. We'll be there every step of the way, offering unwavering support and guidance.

The experience will be loosely structured as a group, similar to the structure of a retreat. This means there won't be set programming, providing the flexibility for independent experiences for our participants, as one may find in an artist residency. However, if you prefer to spend time with the group at any stage of the walk, we welcome you to do so. Rest assured, as experienced guides on the Camino, we'll be nearby to offer assistance, advice, or recommendations whenever needed. We aim to tailor your pilgrimage experience to suit your comfort level and personal expectations.

The journey concludes on the eve of the summer solstice, coinciding with the vibrant celebration of San Xoan in Santiago de Compostela. This auspicious timing offers a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in this ancient festival, marking the culmination of our transformative pilgrimage and the dawn of a new chapter. Let's embark on this pilgrimage journey together, where we stand ready to support and guide you every step of the way. While our approach may be more passive, our commitment to providing assistance, encouragement, and safety remains unwavering. Your participation in this inaugural pilgrimage will not only enrich your own experience but also contribute invaluable insights to shape future artist residencies and retreats. Join us on this journey of transformation and unforgettable experiences.🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🌄
