I am a relative newcomer to the movement that goes by such titles as “Evolutionary Enlightenment,” “Conscious Evolution,” “Emergence,” or simply “The Shift.” It has been galvanized by the “end-of-an-era” prophecies of the expiration of the Mayan Calendar, but it has been around for much longer in the writings of Ken Wilber, Andrew Cohen, Deepak Chopra, Craig Hamilton, and of my latest hero, 83-year-old dynamo Barbara Marx Hubbard.

Many of you have asked us how we—two retired expats living in Girona (Catalonia)—travel. We recently made a very quick trip to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, to meet up with Gary’s son, Greg, who was there on business. We normally don’t make whirlwind visits, preferring to experience a location deeply, but there are always exceptions. We’ve prepared a podcast describing our long weekend.

Our pilgrimage experience unfolds as metaphor: losing the way and finding it again, following the wrong way, looking for signposts, both inner and outer. We recently started walking the Camí de Sant Jaume in Catalonia. This article and podcast are the first in a series that will describe our adventures and misadventures on the Way of Saint James in Catalonia.
