CAMINO DE SANTIAGO
A journey of transformation with Foster Perry – Kristos Tsompanelis – Marcela Pazos
Some journeys take you through a landscape. And others take you through yourself.
For centuries, the Camino de Santiago has been traveled not only as a route, but as a path of alignment — guided by something that goes beyond what the mind can fully comprehend.
We have designed an experience to walk this path in a different way.
With Foster Perry and Kristos Tsompanelis guiding the inner journey, this pilgrimage opens a space where the Camino becomes more than a physical journey. Their work in consciousness, healing, and inner transformation invites each participant to experience the Camino as a living field of perception, where insights, release, and profound inner shifts may naturally emerge.
Throughout the journey, there will be moments of healing and channeling that are not scheduled in advance. These will arise organically, in resonance with the group and with the field of the Camino itself, allowing each experience to unfold authentically, at the right moment and in alignment with the group’s process.
The itinerary has been carefully designed and will be guided throughout by Marcela Pazos, who is deeply connected to Galicia, the land of her ancestors. Through her knowledge of the territory, its history, and its subtle dimensions, she supports the integration of the experience, weaving together the physical journey with its symbolic, ancestral, and energetic layers.
Together, they create an intentional and uncommon space to travel, feel, and integrate the Camino, allowing what is experienced along the way to continue resonating within you long after reaching the destination.

THE ESSENCE OF THIS JOURNEY
This is not a journey to complete a route, but to enter into a process.
You will walk among forests, villages, and ancient paths, but you will also pass through memories, questions, and inner thresholds. There will be moments of silence; others will bring revelations.
And some may awaken something that does not yet have a name.
It is said that the Camino offers each person what they are prepared to receive. This experience has been conceived to open to that possibility: to walk with presence, depth, and intention, and to allow the Camino to reveal what it has for you.
WHO IS THIS JOURNEY FOR?
This experience is designed for those who:
- Feel a genuine calling toward the Camino de Santiago
- Are open to inner exploration and transformation
- Value profound and meaningful travel experiences
- Are willing to engage with both the outer path and the inner journey
