We’ve been in the United Kingdom this past week or so – kicking our heels before we fly to Vancouver in a week to attend the annual Camino Pilgrim Gathering. The Way, My Way will screen there as part of the Gathering, and we have been invited as guests.
From Vancouver we fly to Malta, for a European equivalent. Again the film will screen there to an audience of European Camino leaders.
What have we been doing in the UK? Collecting our thoughts and preparing for the period ahead, which is going to be busy –
I have the Hope film to finish, and we’ll start to ramp up the sequel to The Way, My Way, called The Way, Her Way, which we intend to shoot on the Portuguese Camino early next year.
I’ll release more information abut The Way, Her Way in the next little while, but basically it’s a female perspective on the Camino. More women than men walk the Camino, yet there’s never been a movie produced centred around a woman.
Yesterday I bought a membership to the Royal National Trust. Jennifer and I each day have been visitingng National Trust gardens – and I figured it was cheaper to join rather than pay the entrance fees each time.
We’ve seen some glorious places.
The world is going through some tumultuous changes – and these changes are only going to become more tumultuous in the months and years ahead. My Journey films – on Intuition, Fear, Hope, Purpose, and Death will provide some guidance during these times.
And films of courage, inspiration, and empowerment will be sorely needed.
I have to figure out my place in this tectonically shifting universe – so that I can do all I can to help navigate these troubling times. Right now I’m inhaling tranquility and beauty.
PGS - The Way 
The Way, Her Way. Nice title! Can’t wait to see it.
I’m planning my 15th for spring next year – it will include the Spiritual Variant . I’ve never done that before so it will be a new experience. But, then again, every Camino walked brings a new experience.

I know a man who started the Camino on May 1 and sent him your schedule. He’s marked your August 2 appearance on his calendar and was very happy I had sent it to him! Plus, I just ordered your book and look forward to your Aug. 2 appearance as well!! Continued inspirations!

The below is what I’d read and passed along to my friend on Feb. 22, 2025 – is this no longer the schedule??
The film will have its official premiere in Los Angeles on March 7th. Johnnie Walker, Jennifer and I will do a Q&A after the screening.

Totally off-topic Bill, so sorry — though I’d say that apart from Lando Norris’ outstanding work over the whole weekend, the other brilliant drivers yesterday in Monaco were Leclerc (especially in the final laps when he had a serious chance to leapfrog into 1st place), the very gentlemanly Fernando Alonso for dealing with his motor problems in the best way imaginable, and Lewis Hamilton for being the only driver to actually move up from his starting place on the grid. Brilliant driving !!
