Portland, OR: Portlandia Chapter, The People You Meet Along the Way with Lisa Swallow

Ask any returning pilgrim about their Camino and their story is likely to include a cast of characters they met along the way: Friends they made, Camino “angels” who helped them through a difficult time, or simply the sense of community and camaraderie they felt. Why? Because human connections shape our Camino experiences.

Through story, audience participation, and a bit of neuroscience, Lisa Swallow – pilgrim, hospitalero, and author of Bringing the Camino Home – will be our guide as we explore what makes our Camino connections so special and how can we find connections like these in our daily lives.

Join us as we bring the Camino’s spirit of presence and kindness home with us.
