June is here and so is a very special guest — , retired Episcopal priest, spiritual director, and pilgrimage leader. Amy and Karla just returned from walking the Camino de Santiago in Portugal, and this month they are unpacking all of it — the walking, the transformation, the unexpected, and the mess in between.
