In this episode, Steve Rindalh from Warriors On the Way talks about leading pilgrimages to Santiago to help heal ex US Servicemen and Servicewomen from PTSD & Moral Injury. 

He also reveals the daily routine that allows him to carry only 6kg on his back, the little trick he uses to maximise the psychological impact of leaving behind a past burden on the Camino de Santiago and the city break you should schedule to replenish supplies and re-energise after days in the Camino's mountainous wilderness.

After the interview, David sent some additional information that he'd forgotten to share... Here's what he wrote:

"Some more tips about the Spiritual Variante. The beginning of the walk on Day Two is called the "Ruta da Pedra e da Auga" (The Way of the Stones and Water" ). 

It was my single favorite day of walking along all of the Caminos that I completed. 

Also, pilgrims should take the boat trip from Villa de Arousa to Pontecessures on Day 3 instead of walking. The boat ride replicates the way taken by Saint James disciples on their way to Compostela, and it is considered to be the origins of all caminos. 

It includes the only Via Crucis located on water anywhere in the world. The Spiritual Variante is definitely worth it, and it should not be missed."
