Our projects in Rights and Resources (see link) — arts-based education, books, sport, and symbolic reparation — add up to Restorative Justice for the planet and its people. The result is Caminos por Colombia/ Pilgrims for Colombia.
Inspired by pilgrims who for centuries have traveled the Camino de Santiago to achieve spiritual healing, our path is not a place but a peacemaking activity. In countries violated by war and misery, peace has been misinterpreted as a goal, an objective, a purpose, when it should be understood as a continuous and vital journey.
Peace building does not end with political agreements or conventional reparations — money never suffices; legislation depends on often reluctant and sometimes sabotaged implementation; and symbolic reparation hardly helps when it amounts to monuments and plaques. Conventional measures don’t heal festering wounds of damaged land and lost lives.
Healing will come from walking together like pilgrims who learn to love the land and its diverse human guardians.

FIRST EDITION
11-16 DIC.
Magical Nuquí, Chocó, is the convening point for this first of many paths to travel as pilgrims throughout Colombia, walking to discover ourselves and each other. The heart of the country’s Pacific coast invites us to explore breathtaking landscapes and to connect deeply with the world around us. Walking to the rhythm of the ocean and of residents who live in harmony with nature is an opportunity to reflect, and to rediscover our connections with nature and with people.
A journey of discovery:
This is the first of many paths we will travel together across Colombia. At Caminos por Colombia, we invite you to reconnect with the world and nature as you immerse yourself in the beauty and diversity of our land. This journey will open new perspectives and strengthen your connection with the environment and the people who call it home.
