findhorn foundation

I visited the findhorn foundation, a spiritual community, eco-village and international centre for holistic education, to join 'Experience Week' before beginning my pilgrimage.

It was heart opening preparation for the walk and now, two years later, I live and work in the community and this blog also explores my journey beyond the Camino.

centres gathering

My journey has evolved to co-ordinate the 2012 international holistic centers gathering, hosted by the Findhorn Foundation as part of their 50th birthday celebrations.

This is a unique opportunity for members of holistic centers around the world to connect with each other, as we help to unfold a new human consciousness on the planet.

A Wonderful Detour

Taking it Slowly

I listened to the sounds of birds singing as I mused upon the Camino and contemplated the state of my feet.

A little help from the Red Cross

I’d worn my boots all over the world without a problem and thought I’d breeze along the walk without a single blister. How wrong though can a pilgrim be?

The Wines of the Rioja

Walking through the vineyards of the Rioja and sharing wine with fellow pilgrims was a welcome ritual at the end of the day.
