Associated Residency Program

We invite you to join our artist-led guided walks, mindful retreats, and walking studios on the picturesque trails of the Camino de Santiago in the north of Spain. Our unique offerings are meticulously curated to provide a blend of cultural exploration, personal reflection, artistic encounters, and community engagement in a group setting. Delve into the rich tapestry of Camino de Santiago's history as you embark on a journey of self-discovery with like-minded individuals.

Our walks include interactive workshops where nationally and internationally recognized professional artists facilitate artistic traditions, fostering a deeper connection between participants and the vibrant culture of the Camino. Enjoy the serene ambiance of our mindful retreats on the Camino de Santiago, designed to provide a respite for the soul amidst the ancient paths that have beckoned pilgrims for centuries. The camaraderie built during these group experiences along with the shared rhythm of walking, enhances personal reflection and community engagement on this timeless pilgrimage route. Discover more about our offerings and embark on a voyage of self-discovery with Drawn to the Camino, where every step is a meditation, and every encounter an invitation to explore, create, connect, and reflect.
