93 - 20 CAMINO QUESTIONS WITH REBEKAH SCOTT - PILGRIM, SPANISH RESIDENT, AND CAMINO MEMOIR AUTHOR OF "FURNACE FULL OF GOD"

Join me and Rebekah Scott as we play 20 Camino Questions. Rebekah is an American journalist who has been living in Spain for the last 17 years. She's the author of several books including,  "A Furnace Full of God" a memoir about her life in Spain and living on the Camino Frances route.  This book is a featured selection of the Santiago de Compostela Book Club. Her contributions to the path and the Camino community have been numerous.  During this interview, we chatted briefly about her books and her foundation, Peaceable Projects.

Imagine living on the silent stretch of the meseta section on the Camino, where the hustle of everyday life fades into the background. Rebekah enriches our understanding of this solitude, revealing how walking through it throws into sharp relief those truths that are often obscured by life's chaos. She dives into her love for solitary walks but also highlights the unique bond shared with fellow pilgrims on the trail. We discuss her recent visit to Machu Picchu, exploring her experience on the mystical Inca trail and how it contrasts with the Camino.

She shares her thoughts on preserving the heritage of the Camino while navigating its evolution—how do we protect the path for everyone, regardless of their economic status, and honor its spirit of inclusivity? Lastly, we revel in her insights on the Camino’s magical power to bond people, encourage resilience, and inspire a purpose-driven life.
