Learn how to incorporate the ritual of pilgrimage into your daily life, especially as a tool for grief.
In this solo episode I discuss the benefits of pilgrimage for spiritual growth and for helping with grief. I’ll share with you how I’ve created “mini”-pilgrimages in my own community that have helped me on my own grief journey to shift my energy, honor my loved ones, and deepen my own transformation. You’ll learn how and why you might want to try this ritual for yourself.
This episode includes:
- Why pilgrimages are beneficial
- Characteristics of sacred spaces that inspire pilgrimages

The sacred sites, the pilgrimage places … are where people most passionately give praise and prayer to God. Go there, be present in that divinity, be in love with that love.
