Returning from the Camino: Lessons from a Life-Changing Journey - Paperback

by Theresa Fersch (Author)

In 2015, Theresa had the remarkable privilege of hiking the Camino de Santiago from the French Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. When she arrived in Santiago and gazed up at that magnificent cathedral, she did not realize at that moment that the end of her Camino was just the beginning of her journey. While the 38 days spent hiking were empowering and inspiring in their own right, it set into motion a sequence of events that positively altered the course of her life. The pilgrimage bestowed onto her life lessons and gifts which took years to fully unpack and process. For some, the Camino and experiences that follow can help shape who they are as a human being, how they see the world, and illuminate what type of life they want to live. Returning from the Camino: Lessons from a Life-Changing Journey explores the transformational nature of the Camino, the struggle returning to "real life," and provides a practical look at how ultimately the lessons gifted both during and after the adventure can be applied to all aspects of life in the most positive ways.
