The Camino
The Camino: A Pilgrimage Of Courage | Shirley MacLaine
3 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
'The Santiago Camino has been traversed for thousands of years by saints, sinners, generals, misfits, kings and queens. It is done with the intent to find one's deepest spiritual meaning and resolutions regarding conflicts in Self' - from the Introduction Shirley MacLaine is far more than a Hollywood legend - for the last three decades she has continued with her brave and public commitment to chronicling her personal quest for spiritual understanding. A truly inspirational woman, Shirley was prompted to take part in the annual pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain after receiving two anonymous letters imploring her to take the difficult trip. In her mid-sixties, Shirley managed to finish the nearly 500-mile trek in only thirty days - a phenomenal achievement. Throughout history, many illustrious pilgrims from all over Europe have taken up the trail, from St Francis of Assisi to Dante and Chaucer. Now it is Shirley's turn. With rich insight, humility and her trademark grace, Shirley MacLaine gently leads us through the range of astonishing and liberating visions and revelations that are revealed to her as she walked the pilgrimage. THE CAMINO promises readers the journey of a thousand lifetimes.

This was so different than I expected. I thought it would focus more on the walk itself, & had no clue about the mysticism inside. Like if Sylvia Brown wrote Wild. That isn't a bad thing, just a surprise. The regression experiences and insights that she had on the trail were quite interesting. Some was a bit much, but if you read between the lines there are some profound ideas there. I especially enjoyed the bit on the Androgyny of the soul.

This is a beautiful book, but unfortunately the content was utterly ridiculous. The book is ostensibly about Shirley MacLaine walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain. In actuality, this is like 10% discussion of her Camino journey and 90% discussion of her dreams and supposed past lives. I gave it 1 ⭐️—I should have DNFed but my mom gave it to me. We‘ve actually been talking about doing the walk, but this book did not give me much inspiration.

Suet624 All I seem to remember of this book is that she occasionally had trouble finding the trail and she was hot and tired. 6y
emilyesears @Suet624 I didn‘t find it a memorable book in any capacity. Surprised you even remember that much! 😜 6y
