We don’t talk about this enough. It’s something almost every pilgrim feels: the emotional and spiritual challenge of returning home.

After all the walking, the quiet, the moments of connection and clarity, it’s jarring to come back to schedules, noise, and expectations. You may feel disoriented. Disconnected. Even a little lost.

That’s not a sign something went wrong—it’s a sign that something changed.

This is sacred ground.

Today I am sharing two audio sessions from the Bringing home the Camino guided journey inside our new La Terraza online pilgrim community:

These are the first steps to life after the Camino and the start of your next pilgrimage.

Join La Terraza, where pilgrims gather to share in the spirit of the Camino de Santiago. https://thecaminoexperience.com/laterraza/ 

Enrollment is open from noon on Tuesday, November 4 through Friday, November 14, 2025.

Join your host, Nancy, and pilgrim and author Jen Manglos for a reflective and contemplative gratitude walk on Friday, November 28, 10 am to noon, at Carkeek Park in Seattle, Washington. Free.

Not in the Seattle area? You can host your own gratitude walk! Nancy and Jen will provide the reflective guide to share with your walkers.
