Details of this retreat

The Camino de Santiago has been used for centuries not only by pilgrims looking for miracles but also as a restorative journey for the wounds of life. Both Rachael and Beth were drawn to the Camino as part of crossing a dark night of the soul and have been called to share blessings of their experience with others. Grief is an extraordinary part of life and we’ve created this trip to support those with grief to navigate this soul-shaking experience. The Camino holds incredible blessings and magic for all who walk. For those dealing with loss or life transition, walking this sacred route helps us to deepen our listening so that we can hear what our grief has to offer. This trip is co-led with Rachael Corinne, Red Monkey Founder, and Kristen Nelson, Psychotherapist and Grief Coach. Please contact Red Monkey for more details. ❤️
