Episode Details

What happens when we choose to walk not simply to get somewhere, but to be changed by the journey itself?

This week I'm joined by Guy Hayward, co-founder and Director of the British Pilgrimage Trust and co-author of Britain's Pilgrim Places. Since 2014, Guy has been quietly helping revive pilgrimage across Britain through the simple but profound invitation to 'bring your own beliefs', reminding us that pilgrimage belongs to everyone, regardless of faith or philosophy.

Together we wander through the archetype of the pilgrim, exploring why walking with intention transforms not only the landscape around us, but our relationship with ourselves, with strangers, and with the more-than-human world. We talk about the curious openness that emerges on the road, the unexpected conversations that seem to find you, and why moving at walking pace allows the world to reveal itself in ways we'd otherwise miss.

Whether you've walked hundreds of miles or never considered yourself a pilgrim, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover the quiet magic that's been waiting beside the path all along.
