Thought some of you would like to read about the women who has walked around the earth 1.5 times as a mendicant pilgrim for the past 12 years. I just compiled 9 of her narratives in one place on this unlisted site.
Also, thank you to the Daily Good team for sneaking in one of Ann, Winter Pilgrims stories a few weeks back. What a delight to wake up to one of the more adventurous ones she shares in my own inbox!

Often, over hour long coffees, Ann will sneak in a story or two from past pilgrimages between the curation of walking routes and other tasks needed to prepare for long journeys on foot. These stories have profoundly shifted my life and how I am of service to others and we've talked numerous times about the best way to share them never really landing on a way until this past summer.
