Most of the time, I also share a nature-based tool that helps you discover more about yourself.   What to expect? These Camino walks are hikes mainly in nature with some climbs and approximately 10 – 15 km’s. Please bring a backpack with a snack, sufficient water, and wear good hiking boots.   Dates:   Saturday, October 6, 2018 from 6:00 am – 9:00 am – Seroe Pela Saturday, October 13, 2018 from 6:00 am – 9:00 am – Sabana Basora / National Park Saturday, October 20, 2018 from 6:00 am – 9:00 am – Calbas Saturday, October 27, 2018 from 6:00 am – 9:00 am – California Lighthouse   Sign up at 594 4250 or email geasouge@gmail.com.
