In 2015, Beth and Eric Jusino walked out of a cathedral in the historic village of Le Puy, France, down a cobblestone street, and turned west. Seventy-nine days, a thousand miles, two countries, two mountain ranges, and three pairs of shoes later, they reached the Atlantic Ocean. More than two million pilgrims have walked the Way of Saint James, a long-distance hiking trail. Each pilgrim has their own reason for undertaking the journey. For the Jusinos, it was about taking a break from the relentless pace of modern life and getting away from all their electronic devices.

After serving in a scout-sniper platoon in Mosul, Tom Voss came home carrying invisible wounds of war - the memory of doing or witnessing things that went against his fundamental beliefs. This was not a physical injury that could heal with medication and time but a "moral injury" - a wound to the soul that eventually urged him toward suicide. Desperate for relief from the pain and guilt, Voss embarked on a 2,700-mile journey across America with a fellow veteran. Listeners walk with these men as they meet other veterans, Native American healers, and spiritual teachers.

Many Caminos lead to Santiago de Compostela, the renown pilgrimage destination nestled in the northwest of Spain. I'm Anne Lanevschi, and I live in the heart of Galicia along one of the many Caminos that lead to Santiago, in a beautiful landscape overlooking the River Ulla valley, and just over 20 km south of Santiago de Compostela. The Caminos or Ways as they are called have a history that predates Christianity. Why are so many people drawn to walk a Camino? And what is so magical about the experience, even today when it has gained so much popularity? And of the multitudes that do, a small ...
