Your Story Is A Gift

Story helps define who we are, makes us laugh and cry, opens our hearts, inspires us to do more, clarifies confusion in our lives and heals and transforms. As a pathway to wholeness, story is indispensable to life, especially when we may not be feeling so complete.

Each free monthly Camino Wisdom Stories event carries a life theme related to the Camino. If sharing stories, finding insights and wisdom sounds intriguing, fun or supportive, please do join this interactive 90-minute online event.

The world needs more pilgrims.’

Ann Sieben

In October 2024 we hosted Ann Sieben as our special guest. We found her to be fun, interesting and a great storyteller.  Watch the video HERE.

When we spoke with Ann it was just before she left to walk the fourth stage of her pilgrimage to visit over 300 churches in France that bear the name of Saint Martin. Ann explains on her website, "I took on this project with a clear structure.  I identified every Saint Martin town in France that I could locate on a map, defining a town as having a mairie (town hall) where I could obtain a stamp. Given the visa constraint, I divided the journey into five circuits, each beginning and ending at his tomb shrine in Tours. The circuits are approximately 3,000 km each, connecting between 56 and 67 towns. At each stop, I meet the mayor or local council and receive their stamp."

By way of background, Ann tells us that, "Saint Martin is a universal hero—a real person who struggled with life’s hardships and became a model of virtue.  He was the first non-martyr to be canonized, recognized for his acts of compassion, tolerance, and justice." To read more about this unique pilgrimage, CLICK HERE.

On the 20th of August, Ann will begin the final leg of this journey, visiting the remaining 67 towns, and she will complete the pilgrimage at his tomb in Tours on November 11, the feast day of Saint Martin.

We are very fortunate to be able to have Ann join us on August 16 for our Camino Wisdom Stories event. We look forward to hearing more about this pilgrimage journey, including no doubt, some captivating stories from her experiences along the way.
