Episode 115 - Of Clay and Bronze
Sunday, 28 June, 2026
Are some Caminos better-suited to meeting particular pilgrim needs than others? Any Camino can be transformative, of course, but it seems reasonable to offer, for example, that a pilgrim hungry for social connection would be better served following the Francés or the Portugués than the Camino de Levante. What about processing grief? For Chad Estes, a pilgrim from Boise, Idaho, the Via de la Plata was a perfect fit to reflect upon the loss of his father, to write and share stories of their relationship, and to arrive at gratitude for the time they had. In the conversation that follows, Chad discusses exactly what made the Via de la Plata such an accommodating route for this internal journey, the insights he has formulated about navigating grief, and the process he has developed for writing on the Camino. Available on Apple, Spotify, and Youtube. For more information on The Camino Podcast: www.davewhitson.com www.facebook.com/CaminoPodcast
