7-Day Camino Dreaming Training Retreat for Long-Distance Walkers
Ready to Walk 750+ kilometers?
Whether you’re preparing for the Camino de Santiago or another long-distance trek, our 7-day Camino Dreaming Training Retreat is designed to get you trail-ready – physically, mentally, and practically.
This immersive week blends expert guidance with hands-on experience to help you build endurance, confidence, and the essential skills for your walking journey. You’ll start with a guided fitness assessment and personalised goal-setting session, creating a walking plan tailored to your abilities and aspirations.
Each day you’ll explore diverse terrains on guided hikes ranging from 10- to 35-kilometers (depending on your fitness and desired distances, learning key techniques in pacing, posture, and terrain navigation. We’ll dive into gear selection, teach you how to prevent blisters and injuries, and provide practical first aid and self-care tools for life on the trail.
You’ll also gain essential navigation skills (yes, map and compass too!) and discover how to fuel your body with real-world nutrition and hydration strategies. Recovery is just as important: daily yoga, stretching, and mindfulness sessions will help build physical and mental resilience.
By the end of the week, you’ll have completed a simulated long-distance hike, and you’ll walk away fully prepared – body, mind and pack – for the adventure of a lifetime.
