What exactly is the Camino de Santiago? I have heard of it, but have no idea....

I will give a great description of the Camino. It is not really a hike, not really a religious pilgrimage...it is something more

Do I need to commit to walking the Camino to participate in the presentation?

No! This is for anyone curious about this 500+ mile pilgrimage across Spain. Whether you want to walk next month, next year or just to live vicariously through others, come see what it is all about.

Do I have to be Catholic or religious to benefit from the Camino?

No! I am decidedly NOT religious. It was a deeply personal and spiritual journey for me. However, I met pilgrims who were experiencing it for so many reasons. One of my "Camigas" was doing it as a physical and cultural experience. Another was Catholic and attended every possible pilgrim mass.

Do I have to be a woman to attend?

No, but the information will be geared toward solo female travelers. The info is great for everyone. I will insure that the group provides a safe space for women to ask all sorts of questions about traveling solo to Spain and walking alone. All creepy vibes will be removed from the group.
