Hi my name is Marise and back in 2022 I went on a 800km walk across Spain. What I thought was just a vacation turned out to be a transformative healing experience that continued after my return.
I needed change in my life. The world was waking from the twilight zone of the pandemic and I felt a little lost in my life. My kids were leaving home for university leaving me an empty nester. My healing practice was shifting into online coaching and I was ready to reinvent myself. With a blank canvas in front of me, I had no idea where to start.
I needed to move out of the marital home and create a sanctuary for myself where I could immerse myself in my own energy. Without knowing where was moving to, I decided to sell my house. I let myself be guided by my inner compass. It led me to put all my belongings into storage and fulfill on my bucket list; Walking the Camino de Santiago. I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I was not alone. I was guided every step of the way.
Once on the trail in Spain, I experienced the physical challenges of walking 20km a day, I experienced the emotional healing through the meseta, and I experienced the spiritual high and flux of energy flowing through my body as I neared the end.
My goal was set on arriving at the Cathedral de Compostela but to my surprise, it was anti-climactic. The journey did not end there, it continued long after I returned home.
I discovered there is life before the Camino, during the Camino, and after the Camino.
The insight and healing were so great that I was guided to write my story.
I am launching my book in June called Sacred Miles on the Camino.
A transformative Journey from Self-Abandonment to Self Worth.
If you are a woman in transition wanting to reinvent yourself, or how to navigate your inner landscape, or wanting to claim your sovereignty and Self Worth - I think you will gain value in following my journey.
❤ if this resonates with you.
