This Pilgrimage

We might not always be able to change a situation, but we can always change our perspective. Listening to understand not to respond is so important when having conversations with people who might have different perspectives to us; it is in these dialogues we can exchange ideas, form friendships and maybe even have our own perspective changed.

Change is something that we all experience. It's inevitable. How can we face change with courage? Today we start our new series by looking at how changing cultures with different languages, food and habits can be an example for how we should approach change ourselves - with humility and respect.

Off the back of our episode last week, we wanted to talk about failure. Rather than being our enemy, failure is an inevitable part of the path to success. To help illustrate this we share our own personal journey with this with Noa sharing about her journey in overcoming perfectionism with singing the songs we are recording for This Pilgrimage. We also talk about Pixar, Switchfoot, Desmond Tutu, punk rock and Tolkien!

In our post-modern age, people seem to gather together around victimhood. Today we discuss this and how in a strange way this could actually be a very strange mixture of Christian influence and our individualistic western culture. The aim of this episode is to encourage and inspire you to not be defined by the negative things that have happened to you, we believe in you!

Over the last few months Noa has been reading '12 Rules for Life' by Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson. In this episode we introduce and discuss some of his ideas. If you would like us to discuss some of his thoughts further, let us know!

This week we are talking about our experience in lockdown. What we've got up to, what we've been thinking about and what this time has taught us. It is moments like these that really make us reconsider the foundations of our lives so we wanted to discuss this today.

In our society we are always on the go... Rushing never seems to result in anything good though. We are slowly realising this and trying to put things in place to live more simply, steadily and sustainably. Building off of our last conversation about adventure in the mundane, we talk about what it means to embrace simplicity in the midst of everyday life. 

Have you ever thought there must be more to life than this? Always seen the grass as greener somewhere else? Or is there a way of living that see's the beauty in the mundane? An opportunity for adventure. We think so and in this episode we discuss what it means to truly live, whatever stage of life we find ourselves.

Hello! We are Fraser & Noa. This Pilgrimage is a brand new project we are starting. It is us creatively challenging ourselves to write music, make videos and of course... podcast!
