In spring 2024, I embarked on a life-altering pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, a journey that invited me to release my expectations, trust the path ahead, and embrace the unknown. Alongside fellow pilgrims-each at their own crossroads of life-I uncovered profound truths that had been gestating in my soul for over three decades. Inspired by earlier pilgrimages, vision quests, and solo retreats, this walk became more than a journey through Spain; it became a path to transformation, healing, and spiritual renewal.

In A Pilgrim's Guide to Walking Wisdom, I share eleven powerful insights drawn from this sacred pilgrimage, insights that speak to those seeking a deeper connection to themselves, nature, and the divine. From letting go of the pressures of everyday life to rediscovering joy, purpose, and inner peace, these reflections invite you to embark on your own spiritual journey, no matter where you are or what you seek.

Step by step, the Camino taught me that healing doesn't come from knowing all the answers-it comes from walking with the questions and trusting the path. Whether you're in the midst of grief, seeking a new direction, or simply longing for a deeper spiritual connection, this book is an invitation to walk your own path to wholeness.

Let the journey begin. Solvitur ambulando-It is solved by walking.

2024 edition

Now updated to include newer maps and photos, this comprehensive guidebook to the Camino de Santiago and its offshoots contains all the information needed by modern-day pilgrims wishing to walk the sacred Way of St. James. Overview route planners plus daily stage maps and detailed town plans help sojourners with all the advance preparation they need. The maps feature contour guides to help distinguish the terrain that will be crossed each day, while full information on all pilgrim hostels, as well as details for alternative accommodation, allow travelers to plot adequate nightly stopping points. All reference information is accompanied by helpful spiritual guidelines to support the seeker's inner journey as well as the outer pilgrimage. Otherwise known as the Camino Francés, the main route covered in this volume is the most popular sacred route through Spain, from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago.
