An Invitation for Couples: Walking the Camino Together

A mid-year invitation for couples to slow down, walk together, and create space for discernment, renewal, and next steps on the Camino de Santiago.

For centuries, pilgrims have walked the Camino seeking renewal, clarity, and direction. There’s something about the simple rhythm of walking — step after step — that opens space for listening and discernment.

Have you been longing for space to slow down, step back, and reconnect — not only with God, but with each other?

This coming May, in partnership with our friends at The Way Between, my wife and I are facilitating a couples pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, and we’d love to invite you to consider joining us.

The Way Between is a fitting name for this pilgrimage — a sacred space between where you are now and what may be emerging next.

Why the Camino — and why as a couple?

For centuries, pilgrims have walked the Camino seeking renewal, clarity, and direction. There’s something about the simple rhythm of walking — step after step — that opens space for listening and discernment.

Walking this path together as a couple creates a unique opportunity to:

  • Slow your pace and step out of the noise of daily life

  • Have deeper conversations that don’t fit into busy routines

  • Discern next steps during a season of transition or change

  • Reconnect spiritually and relationally through shared experience

Many couples describe the Camino as a reset — not because it fixes everything, but because it creates space to notice what matters most.

A Mid-Year Pause with Intention

Walking the Camino together offers a meaningful way to pause mid-year and ask:

  • What is God inviting us into in this next season?

  • What do we need to release?

  • What do we want to carry forward — together?

You don’t need to have clear answers before you come. The Camino has a way of meeting you right where you are.
