A Pilgrim Faith walk...

Have you ever returned from a walk where you felt exhilerated, like all senses were alive...? How about 9 days of walking...not alone, but together with 12 other young people from all nations? Sharing the adventure of each other, backgrounds, likes & dislikes...Discovering together the beauty of the countryside, discussions sharing your faith, a journey of faith...being stretched physically & spiritually...

What can I expect?

9 Days of walking...together...& alone...(don‘t worry there will be plenty of solitary moments)..
Beginning in Ponferrada, Spain to Santiago de Compostela...210 klms...
A day in the life of our walk would look like...
Everyday approximately 25 klms of walking...beginning with an early start..6-7 hrs walk...check in at new accomodation (will be arranged ahead of time)...afternoon with a short siesta and then time of faith inspired teaching..
There will be enough time each day to explore & experience the surroundings & culture of the small villages along the way..
It will be good to have some hiking experience, and to be physically fit.
If the walk gets to intense then it's no problem to take a brake and use the bus/taxi instead of walking.
The retreat is being lead by Christian Schmid, a young antropronuer, adventureous and full of passion for life. Christian has staffed with his wife Sina faithbuilders ministries with Peter and Anne-Marie Helms for this past year.
