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. If you are dealing with loss or transition, walking this sacred route can help you deepen your listening and hear what your grief may have to offer you. This trip follows the same route as the Basque Camino, yet is specifically designed to give time and space to honor your grieving process.
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 each 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 who get where you are at.
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 so that you can go through your process. This experience is profoundly personal and varies for every woman. 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? Contact us here.
