Pilgrimage is an age-old journey that our desert mothers and fathers have been taking since early years. It's an opportunity to extract ourselves from normal life and embark on a voyage into the unknown, to ultimately come to know more about ourselves and our place in a large and miraculous world. It is the seeker within us that is willing to go where the call of spirit might be calling us to go and explore. So many unexpected treasures can be unearthed on pilgrimages both far away and the ones we take closer to home.

On today's show, Charlotte-based Spiritual Explorer/Yoga Instructor, Amanda Brutus-Phillips, shares her pilgrimage stories through India, Peru, and Egypt, while being an entrepreneurial married mother of two daughters. She talks about the significance of being a spiritual nomad and the way that pilgrimage can affect us and those we love long after we return home.
