In collaboration with Ramakko’s Source for Adventure, Rainbow Routes is excited to host Walk The Way: Stories & Strategies for Your Camino!

Monique Giroux is a pilgrim at heart and a seasoned long-distance trekker who believes the outer journey often mirrors the inner one.

She has walked over 280 kilometres of the Camino Portugues from Porto to Santiago de Compostela, stood on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, trekked the Alps of Mont Blanc, and explored the ancient paths of Machu Picchu. Each journey has deepened her understanding of resilience, preparation, and the courage it takes to begin.

Monique is the bestselling author of Lost Intentionally: The Inner and Outer Journey of a Spiritual Nomad, where she shares stories of her global travels and her transition into becoming a modern-day nomad. With warmth, honesty, and humour, she weaves together practical guidance and soulful reflection.

This special fundraising evening will inspire anyone dreaming of their own Camino pilgrimage—or any long-distance trek including the Sudbury Camino. Monique believes that with the right mindset, thoughtful preparation, and a bit of grit, ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things. You don’t have to be an elite athlete to walk a pilgrimage route or summit a mountain—you simply have to be willing to begin.

Monique will share:

• How to physically and mentally prepare

• What to pack (and what to leave behind)

• Camino planning tips, including routes, accommodations, and logistics

• Lessons learned from walking hundreds of kilometres

• The inner shifts that happen when you choose to begin

Join us for an unforgettable evening of adventure, storytelling, and practical wisdom. You’ll leave informed, inspired, and confident to take your first steps toward your own Camino.
