Pilgrim Lost

Today's guest is Bryson Guptill, an ambassador of the Island Walk on Prince Edward Island.

Imagine a Camino experience in North America, walking around Prince Edward Island on marked paths, with views of the crashing surf, lighthouses and the land of Anne of Green Gables.  Bryson has worked to create this experience for pilgrims like us.  Listen and plan to add the Island Walk to your bucket list.

Join Tony and 3 special guests as they explore all the ins and outs of walking the Camino de Santiago from the perspective of peregrinos who are heading over many hills, but not quite over the hill. It’s a lively conversation about preparation, trepidation and all out joy from this amazing experience

Meditation-in-motion, as in the case of long-distance trekking, is very much the process of moving in and out of discomfort, fear and resistance.  Join the conversation with Camino Guide, Dr. Jeremiah Gibbs of the University of Indianapolis who is a long-time journeyer along both the Camino de Santiago and the Appalachian Trail.  A veteran of taking more than 100 first-time pilgrims on long treks and all the transformative themes therein.

Dr. Gibbs is also an avid trainer of Camino pilgrims online through his practical teachings on packing, prepping and planning.  Learn more on his sites below.

Dr. Douglas O'Heir, podiatrist and trekking from the French and Spanish Caminos and the Appalachian Trail, shares his expertise and studies on healthy trekking and specifically foot care: shoe selection, body knowledge, preparation exercises and insights into building a first aid kit. In addition to this conversation, he also provides some must-have reports for free for everyone in our community. This was a dialogue that I needed. I hope it is for you as well. Listen and learn.

On today's special episode, Cherokee descendant Dr. Randy Woodley, renowned author and scholar in the realms of culture, justice, theology, indigenous traditions and earth-care, joins Pilgrim Lost to share his encouragements on how we can engage and transform through connecting with the non-human world: plants, creatures and the soil.  Our conversation covers numerous topics from walking practices, our non-human neighbors, earth greetings, mystical encounters and he even gives his perspectives on the historically problematic term "pilgrim".

Today's conversation is shared with Jeremy Vallerand, CEO of Rescue Freedom International.  At PL we intertwine our pilgrim story with our friends and we discover that the strangers we pass along The Way are in fact characters in our story as well.  Jeremy takes the time to show how our story can and does include strangers on the other side of the world: the marginalized, the oppressed and the enslaved.  He also shares his passion for climbing/trekking adventures and how he founded an Adventure Philanthropy organization called Climb for Captives.

Please join this rich conversation.  Also, please follow the podcast and soon our YouTube page, share these conversations with friends, comment on posts and write us with your questions, pilgrim dreams and podcast ideas.
