Your Story Is A Gift
Story helps define who we are, makes us laugh and cry, opens our hearts, inspires us to do more, clarifies confusion in our lives and heals and transforms. As a pathway to wholeness, story is indispensable to life, especially when we may not be feeling so complete.
Each free monthly Camino Wisdom Stories event carries a life theme related to the Camino. If sharing stories, finding insights and wisdom sounds intriguing, fun or supportive, please do join this interactive 90-minute online event.

‘A ‘hero’ now is largely about being bold, muscular, rich, famous, talented, or ‘fantastic’ by himself, and often for himself, whereas the classic hero is one who ‘goes the distance’, whatever that takes, and then has plenty left over for others. True heroism serves the common good, or it is not really heroism at all.’
Richard Rohr
Justin Skeesuck comes to mind. In the heroic memoir, “I’ll Push You”, he helped his disabled best friend, Patrick Gray, complete the full 500 miles of the Camino Francés. This was after Patrick had a dream to do the Camino but was unable to undertake the physical journey alone. It is said, that ‘a healthy hero has strength for two’ and that was literally what was required of Justin.
