Episode 87 - Victoria Preston on Why We Are Pilgrims

When Victoria Preston reached a transitional point in her life, she decided to go on a pilgrimage. And then she paused and wondered: what was behind that impulse to go on pilgrimage? That set in motion a process that culminated in We Are Pilgrims: Journeys in Search of Ourselves, which explores the central importance of pilgrimage to humans across place and time, ranging from Stone Age Anatolia to her own walk on the Via Francigena. In this discussion, Victoria addresses the inclusive nature of pilgrimage, the power of following in the footsteps of centuries of other pilgrims, and the possibilities for finding solace and hope on pilgrimage.
