We lead walking meditation pilgrimages across the Camino de Santiago in France and Spain. Boutique accommodations, exquisite cuisine, generous hosts.
Each trip is profound. Walk where pilgrims have walked for centuries and connect with your center. The Camino of Santiago has been a potent pilgrimage route from pre-Christian times. The Camino is a living, breathing pathway. It will speak to you through the landscape, your inner journey, your dreams, and your sacred encounters along the way. Walking with intention brings a state of deep balance t
hat attunes you with your body’s natural rhythms and innate wisdom. You will be enlivened by the magic and miracles of this holy route. We will start from a town hailed as one of the most beautiful villages in France, and walk for 9 days in the magical, seldom traveled Basque countryside of Southern France and Spain. What to expect in a typical walking day:
7:30 - 8:30am Breakfast is served at our lodging
8:30am A group huddle of prayer and intention setting as well as logistics and we begin walking
Mid-morning breaks happen as we find cafes, beautiful bridges or vistas
Mid-day picnic lunch is shared on the Camino from olive groves to rustic hermitages
Mid-afternoon breaks also happen spontaneously according to need and weather
4 - 5 pm we arrive in our lodgings at our own pace and get settled into rooms, shower and perhaps have a glass of wine or stroll around the new town
7 - 8pm Dinner is generally a gorgeous 3 course meal with ample wine where we’ll share our insights and observations from the day as well as meet other pilgrims and our hosts
After dinner is time for philosophy, singing, foot massages, reading, writing or just jumping into dreams! You'll walk between 18 and the longest day is 26km daily. A taxi is available for afternoon pick-ups if desired.

Our founder started Red Monkey in 2014, when she discovered that walking the Camino, particularly in quiet, catalyzed a profound sense of calm. Walking meditation has a way of enabling insights, peace, and joy to come shining through.
The Camino of Santiago has been a potent pilgrimage route since pre-Christian times. It is a living, breathing pathway. Walking for 8 hours a day puts your brain into an alpha wave state, creating an opportunity for you to experience renewal, rest, and rejuvenation. If you are open to it, the Camino can become filled with sacred encounters.
Our quiet walks are punctuated with jovial laughter at breaks, lunches, and dinners. This is a meditation path with gourmet home-cooked food, cozy accommodations in bed & breakfasts, and family farms. As a group, we get to share deeply and enjoy the magic of the Camino together. You don’t have to suffer with snorers and dorms to have a profound experience!
We walk uncrowded routes in gorgeous countryside. Our goal is always to give you a deep experience of Nature, the Camino, and your self.
