Hello from Chicago:
I am a new member who will be walking the Camino for the first time this summer. My interests in Pilgrimage are longstanding having focused on its therapeutic benefits. I have used Pilgrimage with parents who have lost children in tragic ways, with great healing power. I am presenting a paper at the International conference on Spirituality and Mental Health at the University of Ottawa this April which offers a summary of my work thus far.
My interests at this point are broader having to do with trying to understand more fully "how" pilgrimage works to the extent that it fosters significant change in people's lives, whatever that change might be. So, I am interested in talking to anyone who has something to say on that score. I am currently framing my questions as carefully as possible, so please feel free to offer any thoughts or experiences.
Blessings on the Way.
