Benjamin Silverman: many times a pilgrim

Camino’s End: Stories from the Celtic land at the end of the Saint James Way

In this episode I am with Benjamin Silverman, who has been and is many times a pilgrim. He tells us how he started out walking the Camino and aspects of its transformative power throughout the 30-day journey when he decided to walk the Camino from the French border. Benjamin also opens the door onto other Ways or Caminos he has explored…. like the ‘transhumancia’ or shepherds crossing the country in search of greener pastures and what surprises that held for him. Finally, after revisiting the Camino over the years, he decides to explore the region at Camino’s End, and he walks us through some of the magic of that experience in getting to know the land around Santiago de Compostela.
