“All of us travel two paths simultaneously- the outer path along which we haul our body and the inner pathway of soul.”

What's the Focus
Thousands of people walk The Camino every year. At over 800km long, the path takes intrepid explorers through landscapes of mountains, valleys, deserts and urban areas along the northern territory of Galicia, Spain ending in the enchanting Santiago de Compostela.
James, who was part of Jesus' inner circle of followers, is thought to have walked this path to bring the gospel to the ends of the known world. The arc of the story of James goes from fisherman, to wanting to rule the world, to becoming the first apostle to lose his life for Jesus. As a result, pilgrims have been journeying to Santiago de Compostela since the 10th century where the bones of James are thought to be buried.
The focus of this pilgrimage is 1) to enter into the story of James in Scripture and 2) to flesh out why his life was so completely transformed through his encounters with Jesus. Questions are welcomed and discussion is expected.
Together, we will walk the last 100 miles from O Cebreiro to Santiago de Compostela along the Via Frances. As we walk, talk, eat, and drink with fellow pilgrims, we will traverse the miles and share life together. When the evening draws in, we will share meals accompanied by the rich local wines, and revel in the unique community that this experience creates.
There is also the option of walking the Portuguese central route where we start our journey in Porto and begin our walk from Tui to Santiago de Compostela.
