What a delight it was to chat with Camino Pilgrim and Author,  Stephen Drew. His book, Into the Thin: A Pilgrimage Walk Across Northern Spain,  is a very vulnerable account of how the Camino helped him navigate the aftermath of a very dark year where he faced several major losses. Stephen is such a wise guide for all Pilgrims and especially for anyone that has faced loss. Stephen's story really touched my heart and helped me gain a better understanding of my own grieving process. From the start of this interview, you'll hear that Stephen's call to walk was not the typical story we are used to hearing. I hope you will give this episode a listen as I think it will be of great benefit to those who are still processing their Caminos or are considering walking someday. Thanks to Stephen for visiting us at The Camino Cafe. Buen Camino!
