When Elyn Aviva was diagnosed with cancer, she decided she had to go for a walk. A very long walk. A walk on a medieval French pilgrimage road, la Via Podiensis. Over a period of three years, Elyn and her husband followed the 460-mile-long Way of Saint James that stretches from Le Puy-en-Velay to the Pyrenees. There it joins the Spanish Camino de Santiago, which leads to Santiago de Compostela.
Join her as she makes meaning out of a life-challenging event and merges her inner and outer experiences step by step. Meet her companions on the way and share in the chance encounters that turn a walk into a transformational journey. Experience the French countryside, architecture, and cuisine through her eyes.
Elyn draws on decades of research and experience to share what she has learned about pilgrimage, spiritual quest, Black Madonnas, medieval history and art, and the power of sacred places.
The book includes charming watercolor illustrations by Kate Lopez.
