In the last blog of the season, Kari recaps a few important things about Pilgrim Lost Season Two and makes an honest plea for support as she and Tony look towards Season Three.
All in Pilgrimage
My Tiny Pilgrimage
On the three-year anniversary of moving into her tiny house, Kari reminisces about how pilgrimage inspired her journey towards minimalism and tiny living.
Penance is a Gift
On our last podcast, Kari and Tony discussed the human condition often called “Wanderlust.” Where does it come from? Is it nature or nurture? Does it come from our ego, our hope, or our need for redemption/meaning/acceptance? During the conversation, Tony made the passing comment that one of the things that compel him to wander, like walking the Camino de Santiago, is the concept of PENANCE. In today’s blog, Tony shares how penance can, surprisingly, be a gift.
Living in the In-Between
On today’s blog, Kari reflects on the insight and perspective she gained reading Suleika Jaouad's memoir “Between two Kingdoms.” Suleika’s four-year pilgrimage fighting Leukemia and her recovery journey after surviving teaches us that we can paralyze ourselves when we look at life through a binary of whole or broken. and that healing and forward movement can come when we learn how to live in the space in-between.
A Guide for Taking a Teenager on a Camino-like Trek
In today’s blog, Tony interviews his friend Michael Turner about his experience walking the Camino de Santiago with his teenage son Matthew. Michael shares with us his decision-making process, their preparation, and the incredible impact that this father/son adventure has had on both of their lives.
Best Friends
Finding out someone you love has experienced tremendous abuse is heartbreaking. For the first time in her almost 40 year friendship with our most recent podcast guest, Jill Riley, Kari writes about sitting with this emotional cocktail of regret, anger, sadness, and deep grief.
Out of my Comfort Zone
In this week’s blog, Kari reflects on how one’s comfort zone can change over time, challenging us in ways we hadn’t imagined, especially when we want to live as our best selves.
a Jubilee Year
As 2020 nears its end, it is nigh impossible to make our usual New Year’s resolutions and plans. In the last blog of the year, Kari invites us to lean into the challenging dichotomy of carrying hope while being present to what is.
Creative Pilgrimage Revisted
Last week’s podcast about inspiration and the creative process was so chock full of goodness that we needed to revisit what we gleaned from Grammy-Award winning musician Sam Martin. In today’s blog, Tony highlights the 8 creative practices Sam shared that will help you stay on your own creative journey and avoid burnout.
Better Angels
At Pilgrim Lost, we believe that life is a pilgrimage and all people are fellow pilgrims. But amongst we pilgrims, what is our common story? In today’s very timely blog, Tony walks us through how it is possible to move beyond offense even when encountering vast differences in a fellow pilgrim’s faith and politics to embrace a common story and a higher value.
