Walk with me in Spirit

Won’t you join me in Spirit for the upcoming Pilgrimage in the Belly of the Whale & Beyond Retreat (April 22-May 2, 2025) at the Flores del Camino Retreat Centre?

This retreat has been a divine dream come true. The timing, connections, interest in and crafting of this retreat have all felt profoundly Spirit-led and Spirit-fed. I have seen God’s fingerprints and felt God’s presence with every single step of the planning process.

Now, after months of prayerful preparations, it is almost here! I feel both a depth of excitement and peace that I have not previously felt when leading retreats. I know this will be special and I would love to share it together with you in Spirit even if we aren’t able to be together in person.

Throughout the retreat, I plan to post pics, ponderings and prayers on this “Camino Spouts” blog page. I know myself well enough not to promise daily updates (I just don’t quite have the self-discipline for that!) but I will post as often as I am able. :-)

There will be 14 of us gathered in person - coming from Spain, Seattle, Poland, Pennsylvania, France and Ohio. What an absolutely beautiful collection of our global communion of saints! If you would hold us all in your prayers as we prepare, gather and share this sacred retreat experience, that would be such a tremendous gift!

Likewise it would be our honor to carry your prayer requests with us as well. At the retreat center, there will be a special prayer altar dedicated to sharing prayers with one another throughout the retreat. If you have any prayer requests you would like to be included, please let me know and I will add them to the prayer journal on our altar.

If you wish for your requests to remain anonymous, please click here to email them to me.

If you are comfortable sharing your requests with our broader community, please simply share what is on your heart in the comments below. That way, any others who read this post will also be able to lift these prayers in their hearts as well.

More details, pics and ponderings will be coming soon. Thank you so much for sharing this sacred journey together with me in Spirit!

Buen camino!

Your fellow pilgrim, Sharon
