"A pilgrimage is praying with your feet", writes Ian Morgan Cron in his book Chasing Francis. Pilgrimage is a different way of looking at life and pilgrims strive to find this way. Darrel Harvey embodies the "pilgrim way". Some of Darrel's story reached far and wide in the form of a letter in the middle of an epic canyon trek. Join us for a conversation about embracing life as an incredible journey.
