A Pilgrim’s Tale: Walking the Camino de Santiago

The author describes his experience of pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, an opportunity to rediscover the self, to heal, grow and learn in ways that defy modern learning methods. It is learning with others through movement, direct contact and engaged communication. The simplicity of life while walking the trail, the discomforts and the common goal trigger a sense of community that reawakens an openness towards nature and other people.
