Hello my fellow pilgrims (current, past and future):
I complete the Camino Frances starting from Pamplona on May 5 - June 3, 2013. I have been invited to make a 20 minute talk at my Catholic church in 2 weeks. I am struggling. Everytime I talk about the Camino I start to blab on and on and on - with great excitement. I am not afraid of the public speaking but I am having trouble pulling together the key points of the talk.
The talk is to a 50+ singles group. It is not necessarily a "travel" group so they are not looking for packing lists, equipment ratings, etc. The words of a fellow pilgrim ring in my head. She said if she knew how hard it was she would not have done it.
I will concludes with some short videos that my husband pulled together. (Fantastic!)
My talk outline so far is:
1. What is a pilgrimage
2. Why be a pilgrim
3. What are some of the major Christian pilgrimages in the world
4. What is the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compestela?
a. What is it?
b. When did it start
c. What is it like today?
5. My personal experience –
6. How can you learn more….
a. The Way movie
b. Books
I am coming to my Camino friends to seek your advice. What is the important description/background to introduce people to the Camino? What are the important points to share in my talk?
This group helped my prepare. Some provided key info during the Camino. Now I seek your help in my post Camino talk.
Peace to you all. Buen Camino.
