Excellent read. Highly recommended

In her book “Walking Home – A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed”, Sonia Choquette tells the journey of her healing pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, an 820 km trek over the Pyrenees and across northern Spain.Sonia has been an intuitive coach , author and spiritual teacher for 35 years, teaching people to develop their intuition, heal heartache, overcome obstacles and live life fearlessly. When her brother and father unexpectedly die shortly after each other, all the tools she has been teaching fail to help her.After the initial shock of her loss ceases, she finds herself confronted with raging anger towards her brother and father. Childhood memories surface, ignored feelings, things she just accepted and never voiced take hold and won’t go away. In addition to that the problems in her marriage become more apparent than ever. She and her husband Patrick fail to find a way to communicate. Anger takes hold in their relationship until one day Sonia blurts out that she can no longer live with him.During all that Sonia has continued to work, giving workshops, coaching, if not more than ever. When she is working, she isn’t confronted with her own life and feelings. But one day she reaches her limit. She cannot shut out all the emotional turbulence anymore. Feeling sad, hurt, angry and unhappy, she finally sees and admits it all to herself, realising that she doesn’t want to be this unhappy person any longer.Praying for Divine interventionSonia starts to pray for divine intervention to release the old strangling patterns of relationship as well as her male fighter and caretaker part who jumps in on every occasion rescuing other people, but thereby exhausting herself. She prays to the Holy Mother God to release her from her old life and surrenders to be guided to a new one. Her Higher Self answers with a clear instruction to walk the Camino de Santiago and go alone.On the CaminoShe starts walking the Camino in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France. But before she takes off on Day 1 she says a prayer to be guided and helped to release old patterns, to heal and transform old emotions and to clear her life of all that no longer serves her soul. She continues to say those prayers every day.Her journey on the camino takes 34 days. Sonia very openly shares her adventures, the beautiful landscape and the many many feelings and struggles she faces and goes through each day. She also shares photos of her journey and herself in the book.This walk for her isn’t just a walk on the camino. It is a walk through her whole life and through her inner landscape of suppressed emotions that now have the chance to be felt and acknowledged. With every step she walks on the camino she heals a part of herself. It is beautiful to see how Spirit orchestrates meetings with people just at the right time to say the right words, uplift, help heal or just be there.It is a beautiful, meaningful journey and I highly recommend reading the book “Walking Home” by Sonia Choquette.

Full of laughter and tears,Sonia’s book is a delight to read. Packed with lots of information and tips of walking the Camino too. Thank you Sonia for sharing your experience .

I found this book Brave, Candid and Refreshing.I am a big fan of Sonia's work and have attended her workshops. Like many spiritual authors and teachers of our time, it's easy to look up to her and think she's a modern soothsayer that has it all figured out and is immune to the issues of her readers and clients. As she reveals in her book, this is not the case at all.She is guided to walk The Camino following a triple doozy of life events: death of her brother, followed by the death her father and her own impending divorce. Realizing she must face the music she gets very personal and pulls everything hidden in the basement of her psyche out into the light to be dissected as she places her perpetually sore feet on the Spanish trail.She takes to the Camino armed with 75 Power Bars, a small backpack she wears each day and a much larger one she hilariously names "Cheater" since she pays a shuttle service to transport it for her each day. Sonia is gifted with the archetype of Storyteller. The juicy parts of her books are always the stories and this makes Walking Home quite a captivating read since it's a long story containing many little stories or reflections within it. The book is written in a diary style logging both the daily mundane (but important to a pilgrim) events: breakfast, sleep and weather, along with the daily troubling thoughts, emotional ups and downs, provocative insights and moments of clarity.We've all been there in one way or another and that's why its so good. Sonia is funny and you feel the annoyance of having nothing but crappy toast and bad coffee for breakfast when you are walking miles a day, and you cheer with her when she finds an amazing spread or great company. More importantly you may also resonate with the struggle of acknowledging your so-called negative feelings towards loved ones marred with the shame that doing so brings. Unlike many of us who tuck away those feelings in a judgie file labeled "Not Spiritual Behavior," she actually GOES there. In order to get away from the darkness she has to walk through it and face her shadow. Calmly? No! While kicking, screaming and cursing. The physicality of walking so much along with the burdens she carries inside, including strong past-life memories of the Knights Templar, wear her down and it is this pairing aligned with the mystical energy of The Camino that give way to understanding, acceptance and forgiveness.Unlike every other book of hers, there is not a psychic prediction or reading to be had in these pages. Ironically it may be one that teaches the most and possibly my favorite! I know it will get re-read many times.For anyone that doesn't know Sonia or her work- if you liked "Wild" and "Eat, Pray, Love," You'll LOVE Walking Home.

Hard to put down, this book shares an intense and completely believable experience. Universal in that it tells a story sharing pilgrimage so that it makes sense in every sense to a non pilgrim. Thanks Sonia for sharing your celestial journey in a very human manner. I will be reading this again because it was written so well I couldn't wait to finish so needs to be savoured. Especially the so direct sharings of the author's clear and brilliant spirit.
