Steve & Carol Lytch - Grace, Generosity, & Giving Back
Meet Steve and Carol Lytch! They have a passion for the Camino and for volunteering. Steve is Chairman of the Board of the American Pilgrims on the Camino and the two of them have walked numerous Caminos over the last several years. They enjoy giving back to the Camino Community by volunteering in numerous ways including serving pilgrims at the Albergue Peregrinos Ribadiso. In this interview, we chat about how the Camino provides us an opportunity to open to the giving and the receiving of grace, the generosity one experiences on the Camino, and the Beatitudes of the Pilgrim. This was a deep conversation about spirituality, the power of pilgrimage, and the Camino as a metaphor for life.

The Beatitudes of the Pilgrim
Blessed are you pilgrim, if you discover that the Camino opens your eyes to what is not seen.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if what concerns you most is not to arrive, but to arrive with others.
Blessed are you pilgrim, when you contemplate the Camino and you discover it is full of names and dawns.
Blessed are you pilgrim, because you have discovered that the authentic Camino begins when it is completed.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if your knapsack is emptying of things and your heart does not know where to hang up so many feelings and emotions.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if you discover that one step back to help another is more valuable than a hundred forward without seeing who or what is by your side.
Blessed are you pilgrim, when you don’t have words to give thanks for everything that surprises you at every twist and turn along the way.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if you search for the truth and make of the Camino a life of your life,
Blessed are you pilgrim, if on the way you meet yourself and gift yourself with time, without rushing, so as not to disregard the image in your heart.
Blessed are you pilgrim, if you discover that the Camino holds a lot of silence; and the silence of prayer, and the prayer of meeting with God who is waiting for you

Camino Croatia and Camino Frances with Vedran and Pia
After this interview, all I can think about it walking a Camino in Croatia! I think you'll see why after you meet Vedran Prazen, an eight-time Camino veteran, and Pia Veronika Klinac, a 15-year-old first-time Pilgrim in this interview. recorded in Santiago. Vedran is one of the key people involved in revitalizing the Croatian Camino paths. His personal story is so inspiring from overcoming major health challenges to falling in love on the Camino! His insights on how the Camino is like "getting to peek into the keyhole of paradise" and how the walk feels like an "internal shower" are beautiful descriptions of what it's like to walk a Camino. History buffs will also love hearing about the findings of Pilgrim traditions in Croatian dating back to 1203 AD! Pia shares some delightful insights on what it was like to walk as a 15-year-old, with her Mom, and with the Croatian group. I found her to be wise beyond her years and it was such a joy to spend time with her. I hope you enjoy meeting Vedran and Pia as much as I did!

Customer Reviews
Great episode
Great episode with my friend and colleague Sanjiva and his experience on the trail. This talk motivates me to get on the Camino Trail.
Inspiring stories!
I have enjoyed listening to the many interviews Leigh has done with such a wide and varied number of persons who have journeyed on the Camino de Santiago. Bring back great memories for those of us who have done this pilgrimage ourselves - and a wonderful motivation for those thinking of doing it! Highly recommended !
It’s become a weekly favourite
Thank you Leigh. I had planned to walk the Camino in 2020 after retiring from teaching for over 40 years and then COVID happened. I live in Australia and listened to your interview with the wonderful and inspiring Dan Mullins while I was walking 160 kms of the Centenary Trail near my home city of Canberra. Your story resonated deeply in my soul and I am grateful for your weekly pilgrim Camino stories. I never mind an interview 🙏
