Meet Canadian author Julie Kirkpatrick, who, when she “decided to walk the ancient pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago with her daughter in the summer of 2009, was not looking for a life-changing experience. It was to be a holiday in the fresh air, a break from the hectic pace of her law practice with its endless to-do lists and a chance to catch up with her teen-aged daughter. Thinking it would help to pass the time, she asked 26 friends to set tasks for her – one for each day of the walk. At the end of each day she would write a letter to the day’s taskmaster.
But the tasks came as unexpected gifts, full of meaning and love and what started as a light-hearted diversion soon became a journey into the labyrinth into her life.
Listen to the wind....Immerse yourself in a litany and catalogue of self-love....Be an animal....Think of the millions who have travelled this path....Think of what you’d be doing if you didn’t have your forty year-old fears.... Observe windows
Guided by her tasks and writing with breath-taking honesty, the author leads the reader on a wonderful and beautiful journey full of surprises and tears and laughter.
The Camino Letters tells the story of a woman opening herself to the ever-expanding universe, listening to the music of the journey, walking out loud.”
(quoted from Julie Kirkpatrick’s website: http://thecaminoletters.com)
Julie’s presentation will take approximately 45 minutes after which there will be time for general or specific questions about the camino. Generally there are numerous people in the audience who have walked the camino so good advice can be had from a variety of sources. Anyone who has walked one of the caminos is urged to come to add your information and opinions to the general question/answer period.
All past and possible future walkers, or those who are just interested in the stories are welcome.
