@Domingee I can delete the thread if you would really like me to: but its a great post. We all do it ( well I do, and you do) we talk about Camino to our friends, our acquaintances, people we meet at bus -stopsconfused and then somebody we thought knew us well sticks us in front of an audience and says 'go on then'.
Pretend its the night before you get on that 'plane or bus or train. Remember how panic stricken you felt? And then remember that bit as you descended from Monte Gozo and you saw the spires and cried. And then remember all those bits in-between when you laughed, cried or just sighed with relief. And then tell them about that moment, those moments. Or just say 'walk, eat, sleep, repeat is Camino' and sit down to applause.
I can delete this thread if you really want me to but I think there are a lot of us who have tried to explain and maybe they will now try to help you explain.

Re-reading my post I realise now that it could be read as sarcastic. I do hope that I have not accidentally offended you. Completely the opposite to what I intended. Your journeys have been remarkable and you will have so much to offer. A little nervousness before public speaking is absolutely understandable. If I have made matters worse with my cack-handed levity please accept my deepest apologies. My good wishes were and are completely sincere.
Wow! Anemone have you got a source for that? And I only ask because from my own tradition pilgrimage was / is purely from personal choice. The decision to 'go' is all that is required. I am aware that in medieval England the peasantry would require written permission from their fiefed Lord or the Parish Priest to leave the Parish/Domeigne. Probably the origin of the credencial . As we always lived outside the Pale we were not bound by those rules. Family didat set the bounds of our aspirations not gender.You could start by explaining how back in the Middle Ages a woman had to get permission from her husband to walk to both Santiago and Jerusalem, but men only had to ask for permission to go to Santiago!

Adeline Rucquoi's Mille fois à Compostelle, page 74. It's out of Alfonso X's First Partida, titulo VIII, Lwy 9 of Las Siete Partidas in the Liber Sancti Jacob, Lib. I, ch. 17, page 94.Wow!

I have done a couple of presentations for different audiences on request, and have a Powerpoint presentation, but it is in Norw. I can easily translate and let you have it, so you can modify to your own needs.
Actually, for my first presentation I took my backpack loaded to the weight I carried. People were very interested to lift it and try it on. I could send you a doc with the stats I used last year - let me know if you want me to send it.
Yes please Magwood, thank you soo much!
