Hamilton Camino Pilgrims

06/29/2026

Here’s another amazing example of resilience.

Some of us train for the Camino on the stairs and the HamiltonCaminoPilgrims Coordinator has been privileged to meet Brandon a few times training for the Camino and for other big adventures. He’s a super nice guy. Imagine showing up ,no matter what the weather , for 2000 days and doing 4 sets of these stairs with the push-ups as well.


Awesome dude! 🙌 (David with the backpack 😉)

It was yet another style of engaged conversation amongst peregrinos at the latest Global Pilgrim Salon. We had guests from 3 continents…even though we were competing with the adventurous of summer for most of us…. and the football ⚽️

Muchas, muchas gracias Dave Whitson for leading a highly interactive experiment in civil discourse (see, that was easy… even tackled a last taboo pilgrim-style)

Global Pilgrim Salon Returns — And It’s Going to Be Spicy 🌶️

Saturday, June 20, 2026 — 4:00–5:00pm EDT (UTC-4)

Pilgrims on the Camino are famous for deep conversation — life, death, love, loss and all of it with total strangers. So why does remain the one topic everyone quietly avoids?

For this Global Pilgrim Salon, the Hamilton Chapter welcomes guidebook writer, podcaster, teacher and Camino friend Dave Whitson (last spotted crossing our path roadside in Sicily as he wrapped up his epic walk up and down Italy).

Dave’s bringing his trademark directness and intelligence to a question that matters: if pilgrims can come home wanting to make their corner of the world better, can we also practice talking about the things that divide us — with the same listening, respect, and curiosity we bring to the Camino?

This isn’t a debate. It’s an experiment in old-school dialogue, pilgrim-style. Dave will open with some reflections on “politics avoidance” from the trail, then guide us through a format designed to get everyone talking.

We dare you to stay on the sidelines for this one!

Open to everyone — members, non-members, and the Camino-curious alike.
