(Mostly) Concluding the Camino Journey


Maru Gonzalez, wearing a jacket and and camping backpack stands next to a sign which reads 'Santiago 576 KM'Dear Friends & Supporters,

As many of you know, I arrived in Santiago on June 25–after 500 miles of hiking–and have decided to walk 200 additional miles before traveling across Europe.

It has been a challenging and rewarding journey and I have grown in ways I probably don’t yet realize. The Camino has helped me more fully appreciate the beauty of simplicity. I have learned to be more patient, less rigid and less afraid of the unknown. I’m learning to embrace whatever life throws at me (without being so reliant on expectations). I am more comfortable in my skin and more resilient than I ever gave myself credit for. I am a better person because of the Camino and this will only make me a better activist.

But even though my journey is (mostly) over, there is still a lot of work to be done. Check out my final blog and please make a contribution to Soulforce. Thank you for your support and encouragement along the way!

Peace, hugs and buen Camino,
Maru :-)
