Pilgrimage or hiking?
From the idea to the journey... where do I start? To where? Can I do it? What do I take with me?
Is there a difference between pilgrimage and hiking?
You certainly can’t say that in general.
However, depending on the pilgrim's current life situation, pilgrimage can be an existential experience that sets things in motion in one's own life, activates dormant inner forces, and provides impetus for change. The external path also sets internal processes in motion.
So pilgrimage can change something - perhaps you become a little more the person you are inside.
The time after returning from a long pilgrimage should therefore not be underestimated. Many things that were thought, felt, and initiated need to be further considered, developments clarified, and decisions possibly implemented.
Time and energy are needed for this - and perhaps also a conversation partner who has had similar experiences.
Contact with a group of returned pilgrims could be a good way to do this.
Maybe also in our club.
