2026 Contemplative Walking Retreat for 7 Days Along the Le Puy (Camino de Santiago) Pilgrimage Path

Begin in the afternoon in Le Puy-en-Velay and complete your journey in Conques, France. Includes 7 days of walking and 8 nights of accommodation. We’ll walk a breathtaking section of the Le Puy Camino—part of the ancient Via Podiensis, a historic pilgrimage route in rural southern France. This path follows the GR 65, one of Europe’s most beautiful long-distance walking trails. We’ll walk 9–15 miles (15–24 km) per day at a gentle, personal pace. This retreat prioritizes presence over speed—there is no need to “keep up.” The group’s rhythm is spacious and supportive. Limited to just 4 participants for intimacy, reflection, and depth. The retreat is lovingly guided by Jeffrey Keefer, Ph.D.—Camino pilgrim, EcoSpiritual Guide, university chaplain, and educator.
