I was delighted to be invited by Dr Heather Warfield to contribute to her Psychology of Pilgrimage podcast.

We discussed my pilgrimages to Rome and Istanbul, and particularly my walks through the Great War battlefields of the Somme and Gallipoli. I had great uncles who fought in these campaigns and these walks were important parts of my pilgrimage experience. I was also able to share my reasons for setting up the Hearts in Search of God project, and for organising the national Jubilee walking Pilgrimage of Hope. It was a great pleasure to talk with Heather.

The Psychology of Pilgrimage  podcast invites you to embark on an extraordinary journey that explores pilgrimages in all forms, amplifies the voices of pilgrims, and communes at the crossroads of scholarship and practice. Episodes are published on Tuesdays. More details at www.youtube.com/@PsychologyofPilgrimage
