Our Camino.
The Camino is known as a journey of arrival — a pilgrimage toward something sacred, distant, earned. But in our Camino, we turn that around and challenge the idea that progress is always forward.
When society expects us to move fast, know our path, and stay productive, one of the most radical things we can do is slow down, turn around, and walk with questions instead of answers.
The Camiñø speaks to a generation navigating uncertainty: climate collapse, mental health crises, and a digital world that rarely allows for pause. It offers a counter-movement — a space to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine what community, creation, and change can look like.
The blue arrow.
On the Camino, a yellow arrow leads pilgrims toward Santiago — toward tradition, arrival, and the well-worn path. But hiding along the route, there’s another symbol: the blue arrow. Faint, quiet, often overlooked.
It points in the opposite direction.
Guiding us away from the ‘destination’, it reminds us that meaning isn’t always found at the end, but in the act of returning, retracing, rethinking. On our journey, it stands for reflection over arrival, presence over progress, and questions over conclusions.
By following the blue arrow, we choose to move differently - to lead by listening, to act with intention, and to walk with others toward something deeper than a goal: a shared shift in how we see, connect, and create.
We learn,
and we lead.
The Camino is undoubtedly a powerful learning environment where wellbeing and ecoliteracy come to life. As we walk through changing landscapes, we naturally tune into the rhythms of nature: noticing plants, animals, and seasonal shifts. These gentle, repeated encounters also invite reflection on how our bodies feel, how moods shift, and how movement affects our individual and group wellbeing.
Along the way, pilgrims meet locals and fellow travelers, experiencing firsthand how communities care for shared spaces. These interactions offer real opportunities to practise short wellbeing check-ins, build shared routines, and offer peer support. With limited resources and communal living, we must make thoughtful decisions about our resources and environmental impact.
We learn about sustainability and social ecology as we become more aware of our surroundings, and it teaches us to collaborate with others to change or adapt our social and ecological environments into spaces where we can thrive.
By the end of our trail, we leave with awareness, practical skills, and a deeper understanding of how people, place, and care are deeply connected.
