The California Walk

San Francisco to Big Sur

A walk down the coast, in mid-April. Come for a day, come for the week.

A walk down the California coast in mid-April. Five days or so. San Francisco to Big Sur, by way of Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Carmel Valley.

This is a personal trip that I invite people to. It started in 2025. The 2026 walk happened. The 2027 walk is being planned.

The inspirations: the Camino. David Whyte's walking tours. Derek Sivers's walk-and-talks. Being alive, in nature, with good company.

The walks so far

What this is

Not a retreat. Not a race. Not a guided tour.

A walk. A small group. A practice for finding: the people, the land, the conversations, and whatever you brought with you that the trail was going to give back.

Come along

The invite has always been a phone call. If you already have my number, that's still the right way in. If you don't, leave a note on the 2027 page and I'll call.
