“The judges loved your book very much.”
“Exquisite… I stayed up all night reading it.”
– Georgia Nichols
A story about the transformative power of pilgrimage.
Set on Salt Spring Island, Canada, this is an intimate exploration of the soul, throughout the captivating landscapes of the Camino, with every step a dance between grief and renewal.
““What would it be like to be there? To meet fellow pilgrims? To interact with the Spanish culture? What would my inner process be as I walked in the steps of seekers from over the centuries? A walk of reverence surely, for walking the Camino to Santiago is sacred firmament.”
”
““Pilgrims... will be most appreciative of Gabriel’s rendering of a journey,
that reveals life on earth as it is,
in all it’s contradictions and mystery.” ”
