This month’s theme: “The Art of Pilgrimage: Finding Our Way Home”
In pilgrimage there is a special relationship between the earthly and the holy. The physical and mental effort required to reach the pilgrim’s goal is a metaphor for our spiritual journey through life, full of hardships, sacrifices and surrender in order to achieve redemption, renewal of the spirit, paradise or eternal salvation. Walk with Melissa as she reflects on the gifts and wonder of the Camino de Santiago and invites you to contemplate your personal spiritual journey to Christ within.
Melissa Schultz enjoys exploring the intersection of Christian mysticism and global medicine. Melissa heard her first call to the Camino de Santiago in 2004, when she made the 800 km trek across Northern Spain from the French Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela. Along the way, she experienced a deep inner knowing that she would one day return to the Camino to fulfill a divine purpose. Melissa spent last year as an English language assistant in Galicia, Spain, where she had several more opportunities to peregrinate and make the initial steps in establishing a retreat house for integral healing.
