Description
The Gathering Place: A Winter Pilgrimage Through Changing Times by Mary Colwell In the winter of 2020, Mary Colwell embarked on a 500-mile solo pilgrimage along the Camino Francés in northern Spain, a journey that coincided with a time of profound political change, escalating climate and biodiversity emergencies, and global pandemic. This deeply personal and poetic account weaves together her experiences on the worn trackway with stories from a walk millions have undertaken over the centuries. As Mary walked, the modern world intersected with the Camino's ancient path, providing a focus for contemplation and a place for memories and experiences to gather. Her thoughtful and humorous journey of body and soul includes moments of intense spirituality, unexpected encounters, and exquisite descriptions of the natural world in all its complexity and wonder. Through her writing, Mary Colwell offers a unique perspective on the human experience, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. This is a book that will appeal to anyone who has ever walked, reflected, or sought solace in the natural world.
