Join us for a journey of the heart prepared by Suzanne Doerge, for those who have walked the Camino de Santiago, dreamed of walking it, or are seeking nourishment to walk our own pilgrimages. “While carrying the weight of a lifetime, pilgrims ponder what to leave behind and what to take up in the rest of their lives.” There will be a reading between 1 and 3 pm, offering an opportunity to reflect on what pilgrimage means in our own life.
“Suzanne Doerge offers her profound, lyrical, elegant, and insightful poetry of the Camino journey. Through wonder, delight and effort we walk the Way with Suzanne- footfalls that resonate with our own lives, pathways, challenges, and insights.”
Dr. Heather Eaton, St. Paul University
There is no cost for this event (free will offerings are greatly appreciated)
A light lunch will be available at noon for $10
Copies of Footfalls: Poems of the Camino will be available for purchase for $20.
