Camino de Sand Creek
Join the SCRGP and Wild Wisdom Coaching for our Camino de Sand Creek! The final installment of our Camino de Sand Creek walking series, this will be a long-distance walk along the entirety of the Sand Creek Greenway (13.1 miles). Throughout this series we will explore "pilgrimage" as a container for personal growth. Walking long distances, a physically challenging experience, is known to enhance a deepening in self-awareness as one intentionally moves through a personal growth challenge or opportunity. On pilgrimage, we slow down, reflect, and engage in a purposeful journey to reignite our best version of ourselves so we can offer our gifts to our community.
Certified Rite of Passage facilitator and long-time member of Walk2Connect, Maria Rosa Galter will offer a bilingual (Spanish/English) guided pilgrimage experience along the Greenway to women, and folks who identify as women, on a personal growth journey. Through this experience, women will have the opportunity to build community, and be able to transform a challenge, claim a new identity, or mark and celebrate a milestone on their personal path to their best and highest self.
We encourage folks to sign up for the entire walking series (4 segment walks, one long-distance walk, & a community connection virtual call) but understand that may not be a possibility for all. We would love to have you join us for however many programs you can make. In order to participate in the program we are asking folks to sign up for at least two segment walks, one community connection call, and the long distance walk. For anyone interested in the program, we will be hosting an virtual informational session on Monday June 12th from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Register for the informational session here.
