In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 5: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with community facilitator and creator of WOACA the Camino, Alysa Golden.

Alysa loves empowering women to reach their potential through psychotherapy, coaching, and community development. She has recently added “pilgrim” to her resume as she prepares to solo walk 900km across Spain on the Camino de Santiago this Spring. She created WOACA, the Camino Community, a collective of over 8000 women all over the age of 50 preparing for and walking the Camino. Together, the community wrote and published the book Hearing the Camino's Call: Stories of Inspiration and Celebration from Women 50+ Walking the Camino de Santiago. The group also started The Camino Love Fund, which helps women walk the Camino with more safety and ease through financial support.

Christine and Alysa discuss:

· Alysa’s own call to walk the Camino and the resistance she experienced, as well as the support she’s received in WOACA
· The need for women over 50 to gather and talk about their experience and to prepare for the Camino in a supportive space
· Hearing the Camino’s Call: Stories of Inspiration and Celebration from Women 50+ Walking the Camino de Santiago
· The Camino Love Fund, which helps women walk the Camino with more safety and ease
