Ep 151: The gift of the long lead up with pilgrim Neil

from YOU on the Camino de Santiago

CALLINGS, EXPECTATIONS, AND OTHER PILGRIM THOUGHTS When you feel called to walk the Camino de Santiago, what are you being called to? And what is this thing, the pilgrimage to Santiago? I ask myself that question a lot, especially when I am on the Camino. And it turns out that I am not the only one asking these questions. In this episode I am talking with Neil from the United Kingdom. Neil has the gift of a long lead up to his pilgrimage, allowing him to contemplate meaning and motivations, and to take his time choosing which route to walk. That might be the biggest challenge of all – which route to walk first, when you suspect you are going to want to eventually walk them all.   MAKE YOUR CAMINO DREAM A REALITY IN 2027 You don't have to start the Camino alone, even if you ultimately want to walk the Camino solo. You don't have to figure out everything yourself just to get packed and to your starting point. Instead, begin your pilgrimage with the Camino Experience and get yourself off to a great start! Let me know you are interested in walking with me from Saint Jean Pied de Port in 2027 here: https://forms.gle/py2bcdQqtqKvJT1e6 You can also drop me an email: [email protected]   HEAR MAURICE'S CAMINO STORY This May I was blessed to have an assistant guide with me and my Camino Experience group in Saint Jean Pied de Port and on the trail to Pamplona. You can hear Maurice's Camino story in season 2, episode 12 and in episode 107.   #youonthecamino #caminodesantiago #firsttimepilgrim #thecaminoexperience #caminopodcast
