THE POST-CAMINO BLUES
We don’t talk about this enough. It’s something almost every pilgrim feels: the emotional and spiritual challenge of returning home.
After all the walking, the quiet, the moments of connection and clarity, it’s jarring to come back to schedules, noise, and expectations. You may feel disoriented. Disconnected. Even a little lost.
That’s not a sign something went wrong—it’s a sign that something changed.
This is sacred ground.
Today I am sharing two audio sessions from the Bringing home the Camino guided journey inside our new La Terraza online pilgrim community:
The post-Camino blues
Why integration matters just as much as the journey
These are the first steps to life after the Camino and the start of your next pilgrimage.
