Walk, Reflect, Transform

Join us for a 13-day walking pilgrimage along the breathtaking trails of the Camino de Santiago. Together, we’ll journey the final 116 km across rolling hills and timeless villages of northern Spain.

More than a walk, this is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with your truest self.
Along the way, you’ll awaken clarity and purpose, nurture your spirit, and form soulful connections with like-minded women walking beside you.

The Experience

This pilgrimage is a sacred inward and outward journey—a chance to quiet the mind, open the heart, and listen to the whispers of your soul.

Each day brings new beauty and insight as we walk 7–17 km through farmland, forested trails, and charming stone villages.

We’ll gather over breakfast to share a meal, connect, and receive a reflection or intention to carry with us on the day’s walk. Throughout our 13 days together, you’ll be guided through The Wisdom Way Method—a transformative approach to cultivating clarity, connection, confidence, and joy.

You’ll also have time for journaling, quiet solitude, and meaningful conversations with fellow pilgrims. In the evenings, we’ll come together once more—over dinner or a glass of wine—for heartfelt sharing, laughter, and reflection on the day’s journey.

This is a pilgrimage of mindful movement and soulful exploration, where the outer journey mirrors the inner one, and where every moment invites you to come home to yourself.

Testimonials

  • "Walking the Camino with Anita and Suzanne was a profound turning point for me. After four years of deep solitude following the loss of my closest friend, I had almost forgotten my true nature. This journey helped me reconnect with who I really am—a social being who thrives in connection and feels most alive outdoors. There was something about the rhythm of walking, the beauty of the landscape, and the soulful conversations that gently brought me back to life. I didn’t just rediscover myself—I remembered what it feels like to be fully me. I’m deeply grateful for this experience and the gentle guidance Anita and Suzanne provided along the way."
    ~ Sylvie Clemente

  • “Despite a few blisters, walking the Camino with Anita and Suzanne was an incredibly rewarding experience. I loved the camaraderie—not only within our group but also with the many pilgrims we met along the way. The balance between shared and solo walking time was perfect. I felt supported by the group and the safe, nurturing space Anita and Suzanne created, while also having the freedom to walk ahead on my own. It was during those solo stretches that I found the space to reflect on what I want for the next chapter of my life, and I gained the direction and confidence I needed to take that next step. I wholeheartedly recommend this walk… and definitely recommend bringing walking poles!”
    ~ Cynthia Van Hoof Barthel

  • “Walking the Camino was a journey through landscape and soul. Over six days and 75 miles, I hiked alongside women I didn’t know, yet we became sisters, bonded by shared struggle, laughter, and quiet support. The camaraderie and the way we supported one another was incredibly moving.

    There were so many aspects of the Camino that made this journey truly special. Each day brought a new landscape, with changing flora and fauna that allowed us to experience the countryside in a way most travelers never do.  

    The trail offered beauty and challenge in equal measure: rolling hills, quiet villages, sacred moments. I’ll never forget arriving in Conques and receiving the pilgrims’ blessing at the Abbey after our final day of walking. Something in me shifted—like I had set down more than just my pack.

    The Camino challenged me—physically, emotionally, and mentally—but through it all, I felt immense joy and a deep sense of pride in completing it. It stripped away distractions and reminded me of what matters.

    I’m still unpacking everything the experience offered me, but one powerful realization that emerged was the importance of making myself a greater priority and deepening my practice of self-compassion. It taught me to treat myself with more compassion and to make space for rest, joy, and self-prioritization—not out of indulgence, but as an act of self-respect.

    I came home lighter, stronger, and more awake to my own life.”
    ~ Patty Monahan
