What happens when you walk 500 miles alone—carrying nothing but a backpack and the weight of grief?

This episode explores the transformative power of pilgrimage, the search for renewal after loss, and the unexpected healing found on the Camino de Santiago. Christine Musser talks with author and artist Maryanna Gabriel about her book Walking the Camino: On Earth As It Is.

Maryanna shares her raw story of grief, the creative process of writing a memoir, and how one woman’s journey across Spain became an act of spiritual alchemy. From moments of exhaustion and uncertainty to flashes of grace, insight, and connection, this conversation invites listeners to consider how movement—both physical and emotional—can reshape our lives.

Whether you're drawn to stories of personal growth, solo travel, or the healing nature of the Camino, this episode is a soulful companion for the path you're on.
