Aileen Cheatham

Trip Host - Caminos

Aileen’s passion is self-development. Her inner journey began as a young teen when her mother introduced her to the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, sparking a passion for metaphysics and inner growth. In her mid-twenties, she became a student of Dr. Kenneth Wapnick, A Course In Miracles - a self-study course where the central teaching is the practice of forgiveness - and has continued her study for 20 years.

Aileen believes that how we experience the world is directly related to the thoughts and beliefs we hold about it. In 2007, she discovered The Work of Byron Katie. In a short time through this powerful practice, she began to feel more relaxed, flexible, tolerant, and more deeply connected to herself and others. 

Her desire to support others in their journeys led her to become a Certified Facilitator for The Work of Byron Katie and for the last twelve years she has worked to share this simple, yet transformational method of self-inquiry. She offers workshops in the US, Mexico, Europe, South America and Africa.  

Aileen walked the Camino de Santiago, in its entirety, over five weeks in 2021. Setting out from St. Jean, at the foothills of the Pyrenees, she was originally unsure what exactly had drawn her to the Camino. But, as she walked she discovered her calling as a listener to other travelers, and shared the transformative power of the Work with those who asked to be facilitated.

Aileen speaks English, French and Spanish fluently and has traveled extensively, especially in Europe and South America. She is excited to share her passion for travel and inner growth with the women traveling with Honest Heart Journeys!
