110 - Melodies of the Soul: A Singer's Journey Along the Camino de Santiago with Kristina Jacobsen

3/3/2024
Embark on a melodic sojourn with the illustrious Dr. Kristina Jacobsen, as she leads us down the lyrical path of self-discovery that intertwines with the historic trails of the Camino de Santiago. Our guest, an accomplished singer, songwriter, and associate professor at the University of New Mexico, unveils the harmony between creativity and walking, revealing how her initial reluctance transformed into a profound pilgrimage of the soul. Your ears will be graced with snippets of Kristina's Camino-inspired tunes, offering a taste of the magic that occurs when music and mile markers merge. From the academic halls of Massachusetts to the heartstrings of the Southwest, Kristina shares her story with us, touching on her collaborations with the Navajo Nation and the evolution of her songwriting workshops. The journey that brought her to create the singer and songwriter retreat on the Camino will inspire the artist within. As we traverse this episode, you'll discover the alchemy that transpires when the pace slows to three miles an hour, and each step, each note, becomes an anthem of personal growth. In the closing chords of our session, Kristina invites creatives of all stripes to join her in an upcoming Camino retreat—a sanctuary designed for reconnecting with one's artistry. With only ten spots available, this intimate retreat beckons musicians, writers, poets, and anyone yearning to stir their creativity amongst the camaraderie of fellow pilgrims. Allow your spirit to be moved by the tales of community, collaboration, and the euphonious echoes of new songs birthed along the Camino's sacred route.

Embark on a captivating odyssey with Andy Holloway and Simon Burn, the pioneering filmmakers of "Somewhere Along the Way," as we uncover the heartfelt narrative of Dan Mullins' musical resurgence on the Camino de Santiago. The Camino's ancient paths have long been a source of transformation, and in this episode, our guests share the profound impact these journeys had on them, from Andy's extensive explorations to Simon's life-altering walk. They reveal the stirring inception of their documentary—a harmonious blend of melodies, the pilgrim spirit, and Spain's cultural gems—and how they aim to immortalize Dan's story, a singer-songwriter breathing new life into his voice amidst the Camino's sacred backdrop and the group of Pilgrims walking with him from Leon to Santiago this coming May. Venture behind the scenes as we discuss the grit and grace of filming a pilgrimage, a labor of love met with both financial hurdles and physical demands. Our conversation shifts to the labyrinth of logistics from the weighty camera gear to the nightly shoots after a day's trek. Andy and Simon open up about their dedication to authentically capturing the Camino's essence, all while juggling their roles as observers and participants in this vibrant pilgrim community.

102 - Finding Harmony in Silence: Dan Mullins' Journey Through Vocal Loss and Creative Triumph

1/31/2024
When life handed Dan Mullins a silence he'd never asked for, it wasn't the silence of peace but of challenge—a virus had stolen his singing voice, casting a shadow over his musical career. But from the depths of that quiet time, a story of resilience and reinvention emerged, which Dan shares openly in our latest episode. It's a testament to the power of the human spirit, chronicling his journey from the devastating diagnosis following the aftermath of a virus to the discovery of a richer, more captivating sound that's now the hallmark of his music. Struck by the profundity of silent moments, Dan speaks candidly about the unexpected gifts that came with his vocal rest. Imagine this: a wellspring of creativity bursting forth as he unearths a treasure trove of old melodies and crafts new songs, each a testament to his undying passion for music. Listeners will travel with Dan on his path of recovery, learning how meticulous vocal exercises and a supportive family and medical network paved the way for a new album inspired by life's intricate tapestry. His narrative is not just for musicians but for anyone who finds themselves at the crossroads between loss and the sheer determination to create something beautiful from it. Finally, we meander through Dan's creative plans, and next Camino walk, to the intimate stories behind his podcast and record ventures. His innovative approach to crowdfunding a new album intertwines the artist-fan relationship in a shared pilgrimage, redefining the journey of music production. To cap it off, we're treated to the world premiere of a touching composition born from a tale of enduring love and sudden loss—a couple's lifetime together ending in a poignant harmony that echoes through Dan's music. Join us for an episode that celebrates the human capacity to find hope, creativity, and connection in the wake of life's unexpected silences.

97 - Kelli Field - Kelli is back to discuss her new novel set on the Camino, “The Grief of Goodbye”, and her adventures of living on and walking the Camino Francés

9/29/2023
***Bonus - Meet Kelli at our upcoming Santiago de Compostela Bookclub meeting on Saturday , October 14th at 8:00pm CEST. Get information to register for the call here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092678497699 Kelli Field is back at The Camino Cafe Podcast and we had so much to catch up on as we walked through the charming old town of Santiago de Compostela. This discussion is a soulful exchange about living on the Camino Francés, her new novel, “The Grief of Goodbye” which is set on the Camino, and life lessons she has learned from both walking and meeting with pilgrims daily. We'll chat about the transformative power of the Camino, as told through the eyes of Kelli's protagonist Tess, a cancer patient who puts her treatment on hold to walk the revered path with her daughter. Kelli’s storytelling seamlessly weaves universal themes, the rich tapestry of Spain, and stories that may resonate from our own life or from pilgrims we met along the Camino. Kelli and Jeff’s life on the Camino de Santiago provides an extraordinary perspective, living at marker 59, they witness a procession of pilgrims on their transformative journey. Each day, up to 3000 pilgrims pass by their home, each carrying their own stories of resilience and transformation. Kelli and Jeff are channeling the Camino's positivity into their plans for the 2024 season, creating a haven for pilgrims, complete with a stationary food truck and cabins. Here’s the link to the first interview we did with Kelli and Jeff a few years ago: Season 1 Ep 33 Septemeber 20, 2021 Kelli and Jeff Dream come true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aQeHSn9VtQ&t=9s Finally, Kelli shares her personal experience with the Camino's challenges and how it taught her the beauty of surrender and the power of patience. The fear of the unknown is a common sentiment among pilgrims preparing for the Camino, but as Kelly reveals, the real lessons and feedback often come after the journey. We round off the episode in the square in front of the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, swapping stories and reflecting on the profound impact of Kelly's book and the Camino itself. So, join us in this soulful exchange about life, love, and lessons from the Camino de Santiago.
