  Charles Ross reacted to lt56ny's post in the thread The Camino and maybe not quite 'getting it'? with Love - Red heart.
  
  I have read your posts. You are none the wiser from what he wrote. That is your problem and no one else's. Hector did not receive the experience he expected or wanted. Well maybe in 6 months or a year he will gain new insight and maybe he will...

  RE: 'Getting It'.. I'm the guy who originally posted about the 'IT' and I should clarify a couple of things. 'IT' really has nothing to do with 'spirituality', 'companionship', 'getting from point A to point B' or 'Fix me Jesus'. In this regard...

  I think the closest tie-in between EST, Robo's singing course and the Camino is the oft heard admonition for pilgrims to 'Expect nothing, take what comes and be grateful for it'. An extended walk is much more than '15 Minute Chair Yoga for...

  There was a recent thread about EST (Erhard Seminars Training) which I have to say I have never hear of, but it got me thinking. I undertook some rather 'left field' training about 10 years ago, that may have some lessons for those grappling...

  Charles Ross replied to the thread Perhaps a Hidden Motivation for Walking the Camino.
  
  The responses to what I originally wrote are really interesting, ranging from 'I have no idea what you're talking about', 'if you want to walk, walk!', 'EST? EST Sucks!', to 'yeah, IT! I remember IT'. I was trying to make a connection in my...

  We had such a similar injury in Late March as we were taking a day in Tui. Here is our account of that nightmare: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/injury-that-ended-camino.86004/#post-1241705

  Charles Ross reacted to Shells's post in the thread One month post injury on the Camino with Like.
  
  A few weeks ago, I posted a message about having a bad fall on the Camino Frances, being hauled off the trail by the Spanish emergency services, and receiving unexpected grace and kindness in the midst of personal calamity. Yesterday marked the...

  Charles Ross reacted to Bob Howard's post in the thread What’s your favorite Camino? with Like.
  
  I'm a bit of an outlier on the forum in my enthusiasm for the Frances. There are plenty of Camino Frances repeat offenders, but you would never know it by the relentless bashing of the Frances here, usually in the name of "crowding". Having...

  Charles Ross reacted to Steven Dwyer's post in the thread Perhaps a Hidden Motivation for Walking the Camino with Like.
  
  How very odd to see your message today. Back in the late 70’s I forked over my hard earned money and went to “The Experience”, aka Gay EST. I went mostly because my then employer was sort of pushing it on all of us in the real estate office. For...

  Charles Ross posted the thread Perhaps a Hidden Motivation for Walking the Camino in Why Walk the Camino? Where? When? With whom?.
  
  I've walked most of the French Camino twice and some of an aborted Portuguese Camino earlier this year. I'm considering a walk next Spring and getting some pushback from friends and relatives. My previous walks were with my partner, this upcoming...
