What is a pilgrimage? While it may have many different definitions, a pilgrimage is always at least two things: a literal journey and a spiritual journey. Mythologist Joseph Campbell spoke about The Hero’s Journey and how we are the “hero” of our own everyday pilgrimage, and that, along the way of our adventure, we face great joys and challenges, but eventually return back “home” as transformed and more authentic human beings. While the practice of pilgrimage traditionally involves journeys to far-off sacred sites, it’s also a journey we are all on in everyday life—journeys of faith, journeys in relationships, and journeys of discovering what we love and who we really are. Ultimately, Everyday Pilgrimage is a journey toward wholeness and healing. Come join us, fellow pilgrim!
