Have you ever lost a role that defined your sense of identity?
Maybe through the loss of a job or grieving a loved one?
As you reel with uncertainty, it feels like the ground has come out from beneath your feet, you are no longer who you once were yet are equally not yet who you will become.
Krystin knows this feeling all too well, and in the unravelling of her life, she embraced the Camino de Santiago as a personal rite of passage to bridge the gap, honouring what once was while holding space for something to reveal itself.
Now she shares breathtaking photographs and some of her favourite experiences from her pilgrimage! Her encounters with “the unseen”, some of the amazing people (and dogs) that she met, and the miracles that she experienced along ‘The Way’.
Let an evening of laughter, storytelling and possibility swirl about you!
You may be thinking, “My friend walked the Camino, what’s different about this one?”
After seven years of decluttering and downsizing, Krystin’s beloved dog died and her nest emptied, her grown children had left the Sunshine Coast.
Selling the last of her belongings, keeping only her mattress, desk and six Rubbermaid bins in a friend’s basement, she bought a one-way ticket to Paris.
Unhoused and unemployed, Krystin trusted that if she walked El Camino with an open heart while clearing her mind, she would be inspired as to what was being asked of her in the next chapter of her life.
She wasn’t disappointed!
In the early months of her sobriety, in a country where wine flows so freely, Krystin completed her Pilgrimage entirely alcohol-free, a remarkable feat unto itself given the number of times she was seated with a glass of red wine already poured, waiting for her.
Not speaking any Spanish, Krystin had never travelled by herself before, and most certainly had not left the Americas, just getting TO the starting point was a pilgrimage unto itself.
Then there was a 4500-foot ascent (that she was dreading) awaiting her on the first day of the trek.
