Walking with Grief on the Camino de Santiago
Special Retreat for Those Living with Loss and Transitions
The Camino de Santiago has been tread for centuries not only by pilgrims looking for miracles, but also as a restorative journey to heal from the turns along life's path.
The sacrifice of our walking is synonymous with transforming our grief into meaning. This transformative journey waits for those who are called. As we walk together for 12 days on the Camino, we will support each other in the healing path of Grief.
The Camino is where we find the other side of grief, an awe inspiring joy and gratitude for life, a new found power and the gifts that come from honoring our loss.
Your guides along this journey were each drawn to the Camino while crossing through their own dark nights of the soul. Their trips were so transformative that they were called to share the Camino with others.

Because your guides have firsthand experience of the ways that life can shake you down to your soul, they make your outer journey as nourishing as possible. You will be set up with wondrous accommodations, generous hosts, delectable food, and a supportive tribe of peers.
Red Monkey handles all the details so you only need to focus on walking.
Your guides are available to walk beside you and hold a supportive container. This experience is profoundly personal. So while your leaders don't act in the role of therapists, they do act as "midwives of grief"-- as one past participant described it. They will encourage you to call upon your strength, aided by the mysterious power of walking the Camino itself. The pace, as you traverse your inner landscape, is all your own.
Grief is a powerful transformational process. Are you ready to give yourself the time to experience it?

Testimonials
"In 2015 I walked the Camino with the intention to literally walk for my partner and to walk with my grief in order to transform it. The result was a palpable renewal and a sense of both inner and outer strength. I came away with so much joy and appreciation for life and was so grateful for the process, that I am now hooked on walking the Camino."
-B., Life Coach, Boulder, CO
"Walking the Camino with Rachael was a beautiful, fun, profound and life-changing experience. The pilgrimage trail tested me on every level: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. But it changed my life. You WILL gain a sense of deep appreciation and deeper love for yourself, which will bring more ease, joy, and self-esteem to your life. You just need to show up, walk, and be ready for a life-changing experience."
