Chad has now walked the Francés and Primitivo routes, plus the Camino Portuguese from both Lisbon and Porto. But it's not about how many routes or how many times he has walked. He's not keeping score.

What matters most about pilgrimage? Chad explores this question as well as the role of his shadow on and off the trail.

On his most recent pilgrimage, Chad walked to honor the life of a beloved family-by-choice second son. He shares this story as well as how he brings the Camino back home into his daily life.

Registration is now open for my May 2025 Camino Experience group - only 2 spots left!

Join me as pilgrim Nysie shares her journey from Le Puy, France, to the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Along the way she discovers that bumps in the road are an essential part of the transformation found by walking the Camino de Santiago.

With higher highs and lower lows than every before experienced, Nysie finds her power and comes home strong and even more determined.
