0:08.3	Greetings. I'm Jim Finley.
0:11.2	And I'm Kirsten Oates.
0:13.2	Welcome to Turning to the Mystics.
0:28.2	Hi, everyone. This is Kirsten here, and this is a very special episode of Turning to the Mystics and something we haven't done before. So I thought it would be helpful
0:33.0	to start with a bit of context before we officially dive in. In season nine, we explored the way of a
0:40.3	pilgrim by an anonymous author, and that book narrates the journey of a pilgrim in the Russian
0:46.0	Orthodox tradition following the universal path of spiritual awakening. As a part of that season,
0:52.8	we invited listeners to share their own stories of
0:55.8	interior pilgrimage, reflecting on how their experiences resonated with the pilgrim's journey.
1:02.6	It's hard to share how grateful we are for the stories we received, we received so many
1:07.5	incredible stories from our listeners. And while we don't have time to share them all
1:12.7	in this episode, Jim and I and the team read each one, and we're deeply touched. In this episode,
1:20.2	Jim and I will lightly touch on core themes from the way of a pilgrim, and then you'll hear a story
1:26.0	or two from our listeners that relate to the theme.
1:29.6	Jim goes into a lot of details on these themes in season nine, so if you want to hear more on
1:35.0	the themes themselves, please take a listen to season nine. The stories will be shared by our
1:41.5	listeners in their own voices, and we thank them for being a part of our community and for sharing themselves so vulnerably with us here.
1:50.3	So let's get started.
1:56.5	Welcome everyone to this bonus episode of Turning to the Mystics.
2:05.8	And I'm here with Jim, and we're excited to share these stories of pilgrimage.
