Alexander John Shaia on slowing down.

Join me on the Mercy Cast as I reconnect with Alexander John Shaia, founder of Quadratos and author of "Heart and Mind" and "Returning from Camino." In this episode, we explore the transformative power of pilgrimage, the art of slowing down, and the wisdom found in embracing life's seasons. Discover how the journey home can be as enlightening as the journey itself, and why the Camino is more than just a path—it's a way of life. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about finding meaning in the present moment and the beauty of returning home changed.

Highlights and takeaways from the conversation:

• The way home is to go slowly.
• Distraction robs you of the present.
• Pilgrimage is a way of stepping away from your ordinary life to experience change and step back into it.
• What if we looked at the things that we went through as seasons that will change eventually?
• Shaia who is an anthropologist explains how the start of the day for the Celtic Tribes in the area where He now lives started in the darkness.
