Wisdom Along The Way: Twelve True-Life Camino Tales With An Inspiring Twist

"An Important Addition to Camino Literature..."

We're all making our way somewhere, whether it's on the pilgrim path to Santiago or, more broadly, on the path of life. Wherever we're heading, we're probably carrying too much in our emotional backsack. In these wise and witty stories, based on NLP coaching principles, Elaine Hopkins shows us how to lighten that load.

"A wonderful, unique Camino book – unlike any other I've read. Highly recommended!" – Lydia B Smith, Producer/Director, Walking the Camino.

"The unique hallmark of this book is the way Elaine draws out the lessons of the Camino, which, if we all applied them to our lives, would make the world immeasurably better." – Johnnie Walker, Camino guidebook guru.

"We spend so much time preparing for the Camino logistically and physically, but hardly any (if any at all) preparing ourselves emotionally and mentally. This book fills that chasm beautifully. It’s an important addition to the Camino literature."– Roni Jackson-Kerr, academic and pilgrim.

Elaine Hopkins has spent most of her life being confused. No surprises there: she didn’t discover she had dyspraxia, a condition that affects coordination, balance, memory, and speech, until she was 59. Determined not to let this label limit her, she decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – and changed her life forever.

Five years and 5,000 km on the Camino later, Elaine is no longer confused. She now spends her time walking, writing, and speaking in her quest to spread the word that we can all be more than our labels and conditions.

As a coach and hypnotherapist, she’s more than qualified.
