About this episode
James Burke returns to share the story of his transformative 500-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago.
James Burke is a contemporary Bard and music producer with a devotion to the throbbing Now. A pilgrim of the in-between, he is at home on the paradoxical path of Christ yet drawn to the wisdom of the old pagan Earth, and his work explores the reconciliation of these estranged worlds. Through writing and song, he inhabits the thresholds where myth and daily life meet. James returns for Part 2 to tell the full story of his 500-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago — the desperation that drove him there, the woman who broke his heart open, and the soul encounter that changed everything.
