John Gallen will be talking about his recent trip to Spain and his pilgrimage on the Spanish Camino de Santiago. In 2018 and 2021, he walked the Camino de Santiago from France across Northern Spain to the Atlantic Ocean. On the Camino, he discovered that when one walks 15-20 miles a day for several weeks, one enters a state of mind few experience. In Galicia, he reached this summit of introspection, spiritual rejuvenation, and inner peace.
