Self responsibility. (please read in full)
In choosing to join this adventure, you are not signing up to a cliched tour. Please be clear, thats not what this is. By joining, you are choosing to accompany a group of men on a sacred pilgrimage. Whilst the Camino is the setting and we have the group to lean into for support, each one of us will be carrying our unique gifts, pains, and life patterns with us as we walk. These patterns our to hold, ours to own and ours to transform.
This will require you to take responsibility for what you want, what you need and to be willing to share yourself throughout the experience. Whilst we are there for support and guidance, each man needs to be willing to metaphorically and literally carry his own pack.
In this sense, we don't work on a model of hierachy. Rather we lean into the collective intelligence of the group, which requires each man to be honest and self responsible for what he needs at any stage of the journey. Ultimately, to enable an authentic adventure to unfold, we let go of the reins as much as possible and welcome the mystery of life to have its way.
And that requires you, me and every man that joins this pilgrimage to put our best foot forward, to embrace self responsibility and meet the challenge of the unknown.
