Not a tour.
Not a luxury retreat.
Something different.

On the way up El Alto del Perdón (Hill of Forgiveness), most walkers have a perspective shift: the things we carry are heavier than we realized.

That’s where mindfulness practice begins. And along with that awareness of what’s actually present comes the power to create something new.

You may be running on empty, navigating a difficult transition, or simply carrying a level of stress that no amount of rest seems to touch.

The Hill of Forgiveness offers eight days of walking the Camino Francés through Navarra and into La Rioja, practicing the evidence-based tools of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. The landscape is the classroom. Each day, the trail teaches you to notice what’s happening in your body and mind, to face challenge with steadiness, and to respond to your life rather than simply reacting to it.

It is a structured, expert-led experience designed to change your relationship with stress — while El Camino offers what it has been giving to pilgrims for a thousand years.

These are skills you keep. You will arrive in Logroño not just rested, but restored. And with the tools to meet what comes after with more clarity and resilience.

Is this you?

You do not need to be a meditator. You do not need to be a hiker. You need only to be willing to walk, to slow down, and to listen.

Every day has its own rhythm, and its own invitation.

A DAY ON THE HILL OF FORGIVENESS

Morning begins with movement and a grounding meditation as the route opens ahead. The landscapes shifts daily, through ancient stone villages and Roman roads, open vistas of vineyards and fields. The walking itself becomes the practice: a daily opportunity to develop awareness of body sensations, to notice the mind at work, and to practice meeting each moment as it actually is.

Evenings are shared — a meal together, a group reflection circle built around the day's MBSR theme, time for the day to settle. Then space: for journaling, for wandering, for the particular quiet that only comes after you've been moving through something all day.

A schedule outlining a morning routine, including breakfast and departure, grounding walking meditation into sunrise, morning mindfulness practice on the trail, cafe con leche and midday pause, arriving at day's destination, mindful eating as a shared group meal, evening reflection circle, and personal journaling and rest.
