This is SO true and I never thought about it that way - even as a spiritual teacher myself. I never thought about it. This past weekend our weather has been so beautiful that even with all the construction around us - I went and just stood outside to be with the outside. ❤️

It is so common that we don't think about it. Often when these sorts of situations arrise, they do so because of issues of control and exploitation, and I am starting to think this may be happening on a far deeper level than I initially realized.

I loved reading about your Camino and the ways it has informed your spiritual practice. I have a dear friend who is a regular pilgrim and I can’t wait to subscribe and share your substack with her. I hope you’ll check out my substack too. I write about interpersonal communication, but like you weave personal experience into theoretical content.

Thanks, Georgine. I find the more time I spend on and related to the Camino, the more shifts I start to notice, and deepen into, within my own life. This is something I never expected when I initially followed the call to walk, one that initially did not resonate and invited me to focus my efforts in unexpected ways.
