The Joy & Gift of Water on the Way

One of the gifts of the Camino is the opportunity to appreciate and value life's simple pleasures. There's nothing quite like the feeling of soaking your hot, sore feet in the cold water of a beautiful clean river on a sunny hot day. Or, running low on water and finding a natural spring fountain to fill your bottle, dunk your head or play at splash with companions. When we reduce life to the basics, it's so much easier to feel gratitude and the good fortune for all that we have. And clean, fresh water is a true blessing we ought to preserve, respect and seek to conserve.

Dreams come true.... For years I've dreamed of visiting the incredible Gothic cathedral at Chartres (southwest of Paris) for its famed glass (Chartres blue is a color only found here from an ancient, unknown recipe using cobalt) and its remarkable floor labyrinth which you can walk, like a mini-pilgrimage, if you're lucky during days when it's not covered with chairs.

Circumstances took me there as I was helping my daughter settle in for her 3rd year of university at Cergy-Pontoise outside of Paris. As we drove down we passed through the forests of Yvelines and I felt emotional as I love to read an account on our Camino tour of the felling of trees there in the 11th C by Bishop Suger for his cathedral....

Wonderful when the threads of the journey weave together in new ways....May your journeys near and far take you home to yourself and away to new places!

Coastal Galicia: Water, Walking, Well- Being

Enjoy these images from our recent private group set along coastal Galicia combining walking, water, food & wine culture and breathwork to create a very special journey of wellness, joy and discovery. It's very rewarding to expose people to these beautiful, simple pleasures of life that nourish so deeply.

Remember each day to expose yourself 5 min to natural, early morning/late.afternoon sunlight, drink water & eat nutritiously, breathe well, enjoy good company and if you can, do a cold water immersion. You can do all of these things with us on our Galicia: Water, Walking & Well Being experience.
