These are genuinely GOOD people helping anyone and everyone to better understand the effects of and meaning of accomplishing a Camino. They are there to listen, to counsel, and to support the mind and the soul. I heartily recommend stopping by for a session, or just a visit. I did.

It was lovely to sit and chat over a cup of tea. :)
