HIKING
THE CAMINO DO SANTIAGO WITH THERESA FERSCH: Consider joining us on
an adventure on Thursday, June 2nd at 6:30pm as Theresa Fersch
shares her adventures hiking the
Camino de Santiago. The entire length of
the Camino de Santiago from St. Jean Pied-de-Port, France to Santiago de
Compostella, Spain is a 500 mile pilgrimage traveled by pilgrims for over 1000
years. It is said to bring great physical, mental and spiritual growth to all
who travel its routes. This grand pilgrimage also provides continuous examples
of kindness, generosity, friendship, and love. This incredibly challenging
adventure gives pilgrims a chance to experience life as it is meant to be.
Theresa will provide a brief overview of what a day on the Camino is like as
well as a narrative of her own personal experiences along the way.
Theresa wasn't exactly an adventurer. She enjoyed spending
time with her husband Brian and her dog Jersey and 'trying new things'
consisted of going to a new restaurant in town. But over the years, her taste
for a richer life deepened. The more she broadened her horizon, the hungrier
she became for new experiences. She learned that with every new experience, she
could better relate to the world she lives in. Soon, 'trying new things' meant
pushing herself completely outside of her comfort zone. This is how she found
herself in the middle of rural Spain hiking the 500-mile Camino de Santiago.
