Yes, I am! My thoughts are already there every day. I'm so glad and happy for you that you came this far. Good luck with this wonderful initiative in your new home! Perhaps, one day... GeerтPriscillian said:If you are interested in learning a bit more about the Costa da Morte...
Priscillian said:Sil, yes of course you would and would be very, very welcome indeed. I am a four time pilgrim but only have my first and Portuguese Compostela and my Finisterre one (very pretty; Muxia has one too). I would love you to visit. The reason for the Compostela was a difficult one to decide and like most "rules" is very flexible. I also would like to work with small groups of pilgrims who may be planning a pilgrimage or who may have walked a long time ago. The idea is very open to input!
The most important thing is for people to know that here is a place they can talk, or not talk, together or with a therapist (me), meditate or pray, write, re-establish connections, walk by the river or the ocean, read, sketch or paint, play guitar or flute, visit local sites including some extraordinary and solitary beaches and megalithic monuments (today I went to a 6th C BC castro and was the only one there!), garden (I don't have any land of my own alas), cook, go shopping at a local market, go fishing, or work to help restore an overgrown and sad church garden directly in front of the house or help out the locals in their own; if you have any special skills they will be most appreciated. I haven't figured out horse riding yet but I am sure it is possible.
The house is stone, the village is tiny, the people friendly and curious (there is a small bar filled with locals speaking Gallego), the fire is blazing in the stone fireplace and the beds are soft and cosy.
The one thing I do know is that, at least here in the Costa da Morte, Foxy and me are unique: as the original idea was ... pilgrim retreat - and once a pilgrim always a pilgrim, no???
Photos coming as soon as possible.
In the meantime...
