I am going for a walk in Newfoundland. This time to raise awareness about independant artists and the co-relation between walking and creativity. I'll travel 103 kilometers from Aquaforte to St John's on Hwy 10 and parts of the East Coast Trail. www.eastcoasttrail.com

 

Las Peregrinas...the women who walk, feature length Camino documentary has been selected to be screened at the St John's Women's International Film Festival in Newfoundland on Thursday October 17, 2007at 4pm at the Majestic Theatre.

 

Anita Shuper, who is one of the women in the documentary and Mai Nakazawa, a 22 year old woman visiting from Japan to learn English will be joining me. Irene Dumas will be walking with us on Monday and Tuesday to film our walk and blog our stories. Our itinerary and the entire journey will be updated on BookShorts site http://bookshorts.com/stjohns_suekenney.htm

If you are in St John's or you know someone who is interested in the Camino, come out and join us on the path. I will be doing a book signing (My Camino and Confessions of a Pilgrim) at Chapters in St John's on Thursday October 18 from 7-8:30 pm. BookShorts film Archtypes will be screened on Friday at 7pm at the Majestic Theatre. Come out and support women in film.  See you on the path. Love and light, Sue
