North American Unitarian Association

The Camino de Santiago is one of the most ancient and well-worn pilgrimage routes in the Western world. For over a thousand years, people have walked these trails—from all across Europe and beyond—toward the cathedral in Santiago, said to be the resting place of the apostle James.

In today’s hectic world that is constantly bombarding us with chaos, the Camino is a chance to hit pause. Hit pause on social media. Hit pause on politics. Hit pause on life’s demands.

In this session, Penny Ridderbusch will talk about the history of the Camino de Santiago, her experience of walking the Camino, and what pilgrimage can mean for Unitarians.
