Walk the world-renowned Camino de Santiago with a small group of women on a transformative journey of physical movement and inner clarity. This 15-day retreat follows the pilgrimage route from St. Jean Pied de Port to Burgos—a path filled with breathtaking scenery, meaningful encounters, and profound reflection.
Along the way, you’ll explore your inner life through the lens of The Work by Byron Katie, supported by daily conversations, journaling, and gentle sisterhood. Whether you're drawn by the walking, the history, the spiritual stillness, or all three, this experience offers space to release, reset, and reconnect.

You’ll receive your Honest Heart journal when we gather in France. Please plan to bring your copy of Loving What Is by Byron Katie, our recommended companion book for the trip.
Settle into this charming mountain village nestled in the French Pyrenees. We’ll gather for a welcome dinner and orientation to begin our shared Camino journey. (D)
Each day, we’ll walk between 8–12 miles on well-marked trails through rolling hills, medieval towns, and peaceful countryside. Your luggage will be transferred for you, so you can walk freely with just a daypack and presence.
Daily rhythms include:
The journey includes meaningful overnight stays in towns like Roncesvalles, Pamplona, Logroño, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, and beyond. While the days are active, the pace is unhurried, and the experience is yours to shape.
We'll walk our final stretch into Burgos and celebrate with a closing circle, honoring the steps we’ve taken both outward and inward. After breakfast the next morning, you'll be free to continue traveling, extend your Camino, or return home.
Your Honest Heart journey can continue after you arrive home. We'll host a group call several weeks after we get home so all can share further highlights and where our Life Camino is taking us. There will also be opportunities for you to continue to dive into The Work of Byron Katie with Aileen and each other.
It's also fun to see you embrace further trips so you can continue to travel with your HHJ sisters!
