Every step counts! Join us on an exhilarating journey with Maria Koropecky, owner of Ammolite Wellness Coaching and author of 'Closer to Indigo', as we explore her transformational experience walking the Camino in 2019. Maria regales us with tales of challenges faced, friendships forged, and how this once-in-a-lifetime adventure inspired her to pen a novel. We share our own experiences of the Camino, illustrating the impact such a journey can have.
We also venture into the realm of self-publishing and storytelling. Learn from Maria, a self-published author herself, about the freedom this path offers, its increasing popularity, and how it has empowered many voices. She shares her insights for budding writers and explains how she uses storytelling in her coaching work to help others heal and envision a brighter future. We wrap up our conversation with Maria's journey of self-discovery, her book sale on Amazon UK, and the value of chasing your passions. Ready for an adventure? Let Maria's story inspire you to take the plunge.
Maria Koropecky was called to walk a Camino in 2019 just 6 months before the Pandemic hit and she’s so glad she went because it changed the trajectory of her life in astounding ways!
So, there she was in the middle of Spain, walking 20K for 10 days straight, in sunshine and in rain, up and down mountains, for 263 klicks, in a country where she hardly spoke the language, on an adventure of a lifetime!
When she came back home to Canada, she was inspired to write a book. At first, she thought it would be about her Camino, but it turned out to be about her training for her Camino.
Maria is happy to say that she finished writing her novel and has self-published “Closer to Indigo” as an ebook and paperback in 2022!
Meanwhile, she serendipitously came across a content-creating and storytelling grant and took a chance and applied. Happily, they green-lit her project and now she is the host of the TV series, “Saanich: Emerging Land; Emerging People!”
When you watch her story, you’ll see examples of geological marvels, historic architecture and lots of wildlife and will get a sense of who Maria is and where she lives. You’ll also hear Maria read from her novel, “Closer to Indigo” which inspired these locations.
Who knew that a Camino would turn into a book which would turn into a TV series?
