## Resource

Following a three-year hiatus, the Sacred Steps Podcast returns to discuss how pilgrimage can continue to transform you after the journey. After experiencing loss, grief, and devoting time to caregiving, host Kevin Donahue discusses how pilgrimage helped steer his daily reflection and journaling. In the interim, Kevin completed his first novel, The Pilgrims Table , which is now available for pre-sale at http://www.thepilgrimstable.com . THE PILGRIMS TABLE On an October evening in Muxía, Spain – the place medievals called “the end of the world” – five strangers arrive separately at a pilgrim inn. A Boston woman who has just walked 1,600 kilometers away from a 23-year marriage. A young man, eight months sober, finishing his Camino on a bus. A Canadian couple on their fourth Camino, contemplating retirement and what matters most. A Spanish teacher carrying her dead brother’s stone. Their host, a French chef who escaped corporate kitchens, has never walked the Camino himself. A communal meal at the end of their journey leads to laughter, confessions, and unexpected grace. It’s a story about the challenges we carry, the questions we haven’t answered, and the strangers who sometimes see us best.
