What can happen to you?



According to pilgrims' priest, Hans-Erik Lindstrøm, a lot can happen to you after a pilgrimage:



  • A feeling of freedom sneaks into your life. You start to question the value, the necessity of routines, structures, goals, aims etc.
  • You free yourself of stress symptoms, unease and inner frustrations. A long, monotonous pilgrim's wandering might help you to slow down.
  • You learn to live with what you have and own. A simple lifestyle goes hand-in-hand with a worry-free life.
  • Your five senses are sharpened. You register and take in whatever you encounter in a new way. You learn to live in the moment.
  • With space for prayer, meditation and reflection, conversations that matter more  take place more.
  • You have a new experience to share with others.
  • You have a new tone in your voice, in your relations with others.
  • The group you share your new experiences with is enriched.
  • Your body enjoys the physical endeavor of the pilgrimage.
  • You get time for yourself and for others.
  • Your inner and outer journeys are better integrated.
