SUMMARY:From Path to Page: Write Your Camino Story (Workshop) with Joy Thierry Llewellyn
DESCRIPTION:Location: Central Saanich United Church\nWhere: 7180 E Saanich Rd\, Saanichton\, BC V8M 1Y4\nMap Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1ogBtEtkJ9BKN3cA8\nWhen: Thursday\, November 26\, 2026\, 6:00pm – 8:00pm \nCost: $10\, cash at the door to cover venue rental\nCapacity: 60 \nA Path to Page: Write Your Camino Story is a two-hour workshop for hikers ready to turn their Camino adventures into more than memories and journal entries. We’ll explore story structure\, writing techniques\, and ways to shape your experiences into an article\, a short story\, or book. Expect small group discussions\, laughter\, and handouts\, plus ideas for getting your story onto the page and finally out of your backpack. \nIf you’ve ever thought of putting your Camino memories onto the page\, we’d love to see you at Joy’s two-hour workshop\, “From Path to Page: Writing Your Camino Story.” \nWhat makes a Camino story? It could be watching the sun rise over the Meseta. The unexpected kindness of a stranger. Maybe it was the day you trudged for hours in soggy boots\, cursing\, later laughing so hard at a communal meal you spit out your wine. \nThe idea for Joy’s first novel came on a sweltering morning in 2011. Her husband\, Evan\, and Joy were hiking from Le Puy to Santiago\, 1600 km over 72 gruelling\, wonderful days on our first Camino. \nOne afternoon\, Evan\, a newly retired youth counsellor\, said\, “I wish I could have brought kids on this hike. It would have been healthier for them than living in a group home.” \nHis comment stayed with Joy. It became the seed for Camino Maggie\, her young adult novel about a 16-year-old caught in a break-and-enter. A plot idea can arrive from anywhere. Or anyone. \nIn this two-hour workshop\, we’ll  look at how Camino moments can become the starting point for fiction or creative non-fiction stories. \nJoy Thierry Llewellyn is an avid long-distance hiker who loves living out of a backpack. She was a story editor and screenwriter for film and TV\, and taught screenwriting in Canada\, India\, and China. She’s been a journalist\, wildlife biology technician\, governess in Australia\, spent time in a TIbetan Buddhist monastery in Nepal researching the resident Rinpoche\, stayed in a remote Indian hospital while travelling the world in the footsteps of Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova\, and worked in France on a goat farm in the Pyrenees. Her memoir short story about growing up in isolated fishing camps in Northern Quebec was short listed for the Commonwealth Prize. She now lives on a small BC island where she writes Young Adult novels about adventurous female rebels\, and is finishing a travel memoir\, Lovers of Leaving.
