Camino 101 with the Canadian Company of Pilgrims — Halifax
Join us at The Trail Shop in Halifax for Camino 101, presented by the Halifax chapter of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims.
Discover what life on the Camino de Santiago is like and learn about the network of historic pilgrimage routes across Spain and Europe.
Guest speaker David Griffith will present “It’s Never Too Late,” sharing the story of his late-blooming pilgrimage adventures. David first walked the Camino Francés to celebrate his 70th birthday and has since completed the Camino Portugués, Camino Finisterre, both routes across the Pyrenees, and other pilgrimages including Mount Tai in China and Mount Kailash—plus several Camino Nova Scotia routes. Now in his 80s, he sees no reason to stop.
The event is free, but space is limited. Reserve your spot (link below) or call 902-423-8736.
Hike Nova Scotia Dehydrating Meals for the Trail Clinic — Halifax
Join us at The Trail Shop for an in-person clinic with Deborah Peddle-Hann to learn the art and science of dehydrating meals for the trail. This hands-on session will show you how to create lightweight, affordable, and nutrient-packed meals that fuel your outdoor adventures while keeping your pack light.
You’ll learn about different types of dehydrators, ideal settings and temperatures for various foods, the difference between dehydrating and freeze-drying, and how to properly rehydrate meals on the trail. Deborah, founder of Healthy Hiking and Journey to Wellness, brings nearly two decades of fitness and outdoor experience helping hikers build the skills and confidence needed for longer trails and backcountry adventures.
Spots are limited and advance registration is required. Have a question you’d like covered during the clinic? Email Deb in advance at info@journey2wellness.ca with the subject “Dehydrating Workshop.”
Sable Island Excursion
We have partnered with Sable Aviation to offer a once in a lifetime, bucket list experience!
Approximately 300km from Halifax, this remote crescent of sand rises from the Atlantic and is sure to be an experience unlike any other. Home to wild horses that roam freely across rolling dunes, tens of thousands of grey seals basking along the shore, and skies so open they seem endless. With no permanent residents beyond a small research presence, this is a rare chance to witness nature in its purest form.
