From the moment that I learned about the Camino and pilgrimage, I knew that it was different from a walk.
I immediately understood its sacred nature and the gift it offered me to explore inwardly; to connect again with my sacred nature.
In this interview, I share my reflections on this inner...
This is brilliant, Howard (@hfenton). Thank you for taking the time to watch our conversation and to share your reflections. As you so wisely point out, there are no fixed responses to what it means to be a pilgrim. There are no hard and fast rules, or even categories. We are all enriched when...
What does it mean to be a pilgrim?
This was the topic of discussion at this year's Canadian Company of Pilgrims AGM.
I had the honour of facilitating and being part of a panel discussion with George Greenia (Professor Emeritus and Founder of the Institute of Pilgrimage Studies at William &...
Thanks so much for your comment, my dear Ingrid. We so often undervalue the power of what's happening in our minds and in our hearts to carry us forward. I'm happy the words served your journey! <3
At a recent Camino 101 gathering (virtual), I was asked to speak about preparing the mental, emotional and spiritual elements of pilgrimage. Many of these ideas I present in my book WALKING ALONE, A PILGRIM'S GUIDE TO THE INNER JOURNEY.
This is the video: .
Unlike physical preparations, there...
What a wonderful synchronicity, Caroline! I'm so glad that the book has led you to connect once again with such a deeply meaningful prayer... and for you to sing it! What a a gift. I love how the Camino brings us just what we need in the moment. Thank you for taking the time to share this with...
My gratitude for your comment, and apologies that it is so late in coming! I am rarely on this forum, but I will be sure to check in more often. Buen camino!
Michelle, I just saw your post and wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing it! I realized today that I never posted the book here, and had logged in specifically to do so when I saw your post. Thank you again <3
One of the biggest requests I have had for my book WALKING FOR PEACE, AN INNER JOURNEY is to record it as an audio book. Thanks to COVID, I have had ample time to do so!
The book is the memoir of my 5000-km, 13-month pilgrimage from Rome to Jerusalem, walking with Alberto Agraso.
I have been...
Hello Jinaa, I walked from Rome to Jerusalem in 2001-2002. I would be happy to answer your questions.
As I am sure you are aware, there is no "official" path to Jerusalem as there is on the Camino. Certain parts are becoming more organized, thanks to the efforts of local associations. The via...
Hello boramoya,
The "inner journey" never ends, as I'm sure you know. If you are interested in walking to Jerusalem, there are now wonderful online resources and Facebook communities to help you prepare for such a pilgrimage.
In Facebook, there's the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Jerusalem...
As I understand it, the Abraham Path goes from Ur (or Sanliurfa, Turkey) to Jerusalem, and what they are trying to do is build a path to promote local economies and tourism. The Jerusalem Way is trying to stick with the original paths that pilgrims traditionally walked, which did not necessarily...
