Hiking the Camino de Santiago for Mind, Body, and Spiritual Renewal

In 5 days, reconnect with your authentic self, with your present, past and your future, and with nature while walking the Camino de Santiago in the south of France

Embark on a Journey of Self-discovery…

…and let Nature be your Compass

Walking the Camino de Santiago can literally change your life – you can find solutions to problems, answers to questions and clarity on the way forward – just as thousands of hikers have before you, for the last 800 years.

Hundreds of thousands (over 200,000 in 2022) of people from all walks of life make their way to Santiago de Compostela via one of the pilgrims’ routes each year.

For most, it is an unforgettable and life-enhancing experience.

Is walking the Camino on your bucket list? On this unique walking retreat, everything will be taken care of for you.

You will sleep in the same bed each night, you do not have to carry a heavy backpack with you, and you will eat healthy, home-grown and homemade food – all you have to do is concentrate on experiencing everything that walking the Camino has to offer.

You will also learn more about walking meditation as a stress management strategy and will have the opportunity to taste some of the region’s excellent wines.

On Monday, Day 1, you arrive in the sun-blessed south of France in time for dinner, walk the Camino on days 2, 3, and 4 and leave after breakfast on Day 5. At the end of at least two of your walks, you will have the opportunity to visit a local wine seller, where you can sample some of the best wines the region has to offer.

The easiest way to get here is to fly to Toulouse, take the train to Auch, and visit the glorious cathedral with its exceptional hand-carved choir – the Camino de Santiago goes through Auch and many walkers stop at this famous cathedral. You can check your luggage into temporary storage at the station. When you have had a scrumptious lunch at one of the sidewalk bistros on the square in front of the cathedral, you take the bus to Nogaro, where you’ll be picked up and transferred to the retreat. The bus station is right next to the train station.

The most effortless way to get here is to rent a car, or take a taxi and the most entertaining and cheapest way to get here is by getting a lift from the carpooling site, BlaBlaCar(dot)fr.

A warm welcome awaits you at this 200-year-old authentic Landaise farmhouse amidst the Armagnac and Cotes de Gascogne vineyards in the sun-blessed southwest of France!

Retreats start on Saturdays at 18h00 and end on Wednesdays at 11h00.
