1 The 2010 Gathering of Pilgrims The Camino Today March 16-23, 2010 San Pedro Center Winter Park, Florida We hope you ll join us in beautiful central Florida in March for our 13th Annual Gathering of Pilgrims. Our theme for 2010 is The Camino Today. Share your Camino experiences. Be energized to return or to set out for the first time. The Gathering is preceded by our popular Hospitalero Training, March There will be an Early Arrivals Reception on Thursday evening, the 18th; and the Gathering sessions begin on Friday the 19th, continuing through Sunday morning the 21st. The Spiritual Retreat follows the conclusion of the Gathering and is scheduled for Sunday evening through Tuesday morning. These are three events requiring separate registration. Our venue -- the modern, secluded San Pedro Center -- is adjacent to Orlando in Winter Park, yet akin to the remote paths of the Camino. Situated on a lake and naturally adorned with lush sub-tropical vegetation, the facilities include motel-style lodging (bunk house for hospitalero trainees), comfortable conference rooms, a labyrinth perfect for losing oneself, and a lovely chapel. The center, operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando, provides our gatherers an ideal environment for learning, fellowship, and spiritual development. Sessions will address such topics as cycling on the Camino, the relationship between labyrinths and pilgrimage, and hospitalero and other opportunities to give back to the Camino. In addition, since 2010 is a Holy Year, or Año Xacobeo, and will bring record numbers of pilgrims to Santiago, we will explore some of the Caminos less traveled. Program details and exhibitor guidelines will be available soon. Please check back frequently for updates and direct all your questions regarding the Gathering to gatherings@americanpilgrims.com or mail to American Pilgrims on the Camino, 1514 Channing Avenue, Palo Alto, CA
