The Sankofa Camino Philosophy
This retreat is rooted in the same philosophy that guides my work at Sankofa Massage and Coaching. It's a living expression of Sankofa, the wisdom that we move forward by learning from where we have been. As you walk this journey, you are invited to meet your past with compassion, gather the insight it holds, and carry it forward with clarity and intention. The Sankofa experience is designed to support you before, during, and after the Camino.

COACHING
Walking creates space. Coaching helps you listen to what arises. As your body settles into the rhythm of the trail, thoughts, questions and memories often surface naturally. Coaching offers gentle structure for that process.
Prepare: Prepare physically, mentally, and set intentions
Activate: Reflect through conversation, journaling, and quiet moments
Integrate: Incorporate what you've discovered into your daily life
This is how the journey continues long after you’ve returned home.
MASSAGE & BODYWORK
Walking day after day asks a lot of the body. Optional massage and bodywork are offered to:
Support recovery
Relieve muscle tension
Restore balance in the body to help you stay grounded and present
When the body feels supported, the journey becomes more sustainable and deeply felt.
Camino Moments & Memories
Tye Burrell, Camino Guide & Coach
Registered Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Certified Trauma-Informed Coach
The Camino de Santiago is more than a walk; it’s a journey that transforms you from the inside out. My first pilgrimage in 2023 on the Frances route was one of the most profound and transformative experiences of my life. Since then, I’ve completed several more caminos and a portion of the Via de la Plata in my spiritual journey. So, I understand the physical, emotional, and reflective nature of the pilgrimage.
With years of experience traveling globally, planning and leading travel adventures, I’ve found my purpose in helping women embrace this sacred path with courage, community, and curiosity. The Camino is truly something special, a journey you must experience to understand.
