The latest conversation to drop is with Zoe Clarke-Coats, who amongst many things is a grief specialist.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.
― Albert Einstein

Support this Podcast going by signing up to the Pilgrimage Subscription. I created this platform because I want to share my journey, through the different ways I express myself, as well as establish a space of collaboration, connection and hopefully, community. We’ll begin small and simple, seeing where it goes and what it might grow into. I’m an independent artist (which means I have no record label or financial backing) so the monthly monetary commitment (£4.99 per month) is truly the difference between being able to release what I make into the world and not. It’s a pretty wild time to be an artist, what an honour and gift to be backed by the very people you’re creating for. My commitment in return is to give you my best.

I sat down with my friend Ruth Naomi Floyd who is an exceptional songwriter, Jazz composer and singer and the first African American woman to serve as Founding Director of a university jazz program in the United States.

We're talking about resistance, indifference and the fight to become our most authentic self. TRIGGER WARNING: The passage of scripture we explore (2 Samuel: 11) involved reference to sexual abuse. Join The Pilgrimage Co - www.thepilgrimage.co Series artwork by Elaine Huston AKA The Hand - www.thehandstudio.com Intro music by TWICEYOUNG Additional Reading: Lion's Honey: The Myth of Samson - David Grossman End Blessing written by Jan Richardson https://www.janrichardson.com/bookcircle For me, this is most of all the story of a man whose life was a never-ending struggle to accommodate himself to the powerful destiny imposed upon him, a destiny he was never able to realise nor, apparently, fully to understand. It is the story of a child who was born a stranger to his father and mother; the story of a magnificent strongman who ceaselessly yearned to win his parents’ love — and, therefore, love in general — which in the end he never received. - David Grossman | |||

I had the honour of (virtually) sitting down with John Mark Mcmillan.

| 06 Jan 2019 | #2 A Grief Observed | 00:48:48 | |
Grief is a deeply human and exceptionally unifying experience that is seldom spoken about. After the loss of one my closest friends last year, I wanted to explore the process in conversation and community. My friend Jenni Sanford - Nedoszytko is one of the wisest and most insightful people I know (as well as being a close friend) so we sat down just before Christmas and chatted over a coffee about loss, love and learning to let go.
“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”

Through hardship, healing and a constant pursuit of hope, there's so much soul in what she says. This episode begins part way through a conversation we were having about her leaving home, with a young family to serve in Pakistan. Enjoy! Find out more about my mum: www.lucindasmith.online
