Summer Series Top Ten: When Life Gives You Lemons - Leigh Brennan

Sometimes a long walk makes all the difference. After her marriage broke up, Leigh Brennan, a longtime yoga and meditation teacher, found herself alone. Faced with an overwhelming sense of grief for a life that no longer was, Leigh bought herself a plane ticket and walked the 500 mile Camino de Santiago into a new way of being. 

Leigh returned to the U.S. anxious to stay connected to her newly found Camino spirit. She created a virtual home for pilgrims, The Camino Cafe Podcast. The podcast serves as a place where pilgrims can return to the sense of community they felt as they walked.  She created a vlog show called Good Morning Santiago which features the beautiful destination city of the Camino Routes and  hosts post Camino restorative yoga, mindfulness and debriefing circles for English speaking pilgrims arriving in Santiago.
