Ep 128: The power of taking the next step with pilgrim Jill

BEING A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OURSELVES

I love the perspective of the first-time pilgrim. There is so much excitement and anticipation. Eagerness and nervousness. And such great questions! We could talk forever about what it means to walk the Camino de Santiago and what it takes to get ready.

My guest today is Jill from California who is just about to board a plane to go walk the Camino Francés. We had a wonderful conversation, spanning such topics as pilgrim meals, planning your stages, when to take rest days, women’s safety, and using ATMs to get cash.

We also touched on the tender position of being one small person in a big world and how we can connect with others in a way that restores our hope and trust in humanity.

Here is the book Jill mentions in this episode: The Way of the Heart, by Henri Noewen
