Twelve walks on the Camino de Santiago, and the same discovery each time. Weeks of walking strip away everything that is not essential, until what is left is you.
Reino Gevers joins host Sana to talk about burnout, buried memory, and the difference between covering history and finally sitting with your own.
About the Guest:
Reino Gevers is a South African born journalist, author and speaker based in Mallorca. He covered the fall of the Iron Curtain and South Africa's transition to democracy, and has walked the Camino more than twelve times.
Key Takeaways:
- A hike is something you finish. A pilgrimage is something that finishes you.
- Weeks of walking surface memories the body held for decades.
- Prepare gradually. Fifteen minutes a day beats twenty kilometres on day one.
- Religion tells you what to believe. Walking gives you experience instead.
- Stillness is not withdrawal. It is how you hear what noise drowns out.
- Age matters less than expected. Pilgrims in their eighties and nineties walk it.
