Dan Mullins reveals a magical musical Camino walk in 2026, inviting listeners to join a ready-made Camino family.

Dan Mullins opens the episode by announcing a future musical Camino event in May 2026, inviting listeners to join. He then introduces the episode's guest, Alison Davies, a visual artist from Edmonton, Alberta. Alison explains how she first learned about the Camino from a book in a library, quitting her job a month later to walk it with a friend. She describes her initial Camino as intense and disorienting, helping her heal from a breakup and setting the direction of her life. Alison has since walked multiple Caminos, including ones with her father and husband, noting how her perspective changed over time. Her artistic practice focuses on women in nature and feminism, influenced by the Camino. She discusses the Field of Stars Oracle deck, a 53-card set she created with watercolor and gouache artworks based on Camino moments. Dan demonstrates using the deck by pulling a card that resonates with a personal loss. Alison talks about her art exhibitions, such as Feminine Landscape, and her use of walking as a creative practice. She shares a story where her father had a health scare on the Camino, leading them to an unplanned route on the Primitivo. The episode concludes with Alison drawing a card from her own deck, reflecting on hope and artistic journeys.
