Camino Star of the North / Estrella del Norte
Welcome to The Star Camino 2024 - Saturday, September 7, 2024
Walk where you are in support of The Star!
Or join us, Saturday, September 7, 2024 for a special teaching on our local Sturgeon River watershed Click here to learn more: Season of Creation Listening to the Water
You can join to hear about the condition of our watershed and how we can better care for it. Take in a session in the afternoon, where we walk down to the river together, or take in the whole day! Your registration covers the cost for joining in the workshop (lunch included) as well as the walk. After the teaching by the river, we can begin our Camino at 2pm and return to The Star for a time of refreshing snacks, drinks, and socializing. Bring your water bottle, hat, and sunglasses and be refreshed with teaching on the land.
The option remains to either walk in the morning, without taking part in the workshop, or to walk where you are in support of The Star.
Walk a spiritual pilgrimage in support of the Star’s ministries of spiritual renewal through programs and hospitality on the pilgrim path. St. Augustine is quoted as saying, "It is solved by walking." Make your Camino intentional as a way to commune with nature and become more aware of our environment’s needs too, and to ultimately come closer to God.
The word ’camino’ in Spanish means ’path’ or ’way’. Spain is known for its famous "Camino del Norte" pilgrimage, or northern walking path that begins in the south of France at the town of St. Jean Pied de Port and ends at the city Santiago de Compostela. This Unesco World Heritage site welcomes thousands of pilgrims every year for an over 500 mile pilgrimage where spiritual seekers from around the world walk as a way of prayer and penance for their needs or the needs of others and the world. They walk to grow closer in relationship with God.
