For everything, there is a season...

Dear friends and listeners of "Conversaciones con conciencia",

Over two years ago, Alberto and I were offered a one-hour time slot on CHIN Radio Ottawa for a Spanish-language program. What a gift! We could speak about anything we wanted, so long as included some great Spanish songs.

We opened ourselves to inspiration and, after much thought, we came up with the title “Conversaciones con conciencia “, knowing we only wanted to speak to topics and ideas that inspire introspection, contemplation and personal growth. All with a light touch and a dose of humour. All, at the end of the day, meant to bring #love and #light into the world.

We’re proud of the 44 episodes we’ve done, and the many laughs we had and good times we shared with you. The links to all these episodes are at the end of this message.

But for everything, there is a season. We won’t be continuing our show with CHIN, and are now considering how/if to continue with it. One thing is sure: it’s impossible for us NOT to speak about awakening and consciousness! 😁

In the meantime, it’s been an honour and a privilege to be part of the CHIN family. Our thanks to the ever-supportive Veronica Franklin and Francesco Di Candia for giving us this opportunity, and to Wally Rayne for always making us sound so good.

Thank you all for your love and support during those years. Thank you all for listening.

Gracias y buenas noches! 💖🙏

~Mony and Alberto

Do you have to Suffer to be a Pilgrim?

One of the more fascinating conversations that come up during pilgrim gatherings is whether or not suffering is an integral part of #pilgrimage.

In this video, I share some reflections on suffering and how it differs from struggling.

I hope you enjoy it. Please share freely, and give it a Like, if you so feel called.

Buen Camino!

VIDEO and AUDIO - My Story of Love, on Pilgrim Story Hour webcast

Many people know that I am married to the pilgrim who walked from Rome to Jerusalem with me, Alberto Agraso.

But few people know the full story of how we met, and the divinely orchestrated events that conspired to bring us together.

Enjoy our story of love, and buen camino!

VIDEO and AUDIO - The Hidden Camino, episode on Pilgrim Story Hour

During my first pilgrimage in Spain, I met pilgrims who spoke about a "hidden camino", and who were playing an esoteric game called "el juego de la oca" (the game of the goose).

I thought it strange, since this is a child's board game similar to snakes and ladders, and dismissed it.

Years later, I would learn it to be a metaphor for the camino, where the images and symbols point to an inner journey that the pilgrim is walking at the same time as they are walking an outer journey.

In this episode, I share with you the meaning of some of the images and symbols.

VIDEO and AUDIO - Pilgrim Story Hour, Death and Birth

I have long been fascinated by teachings related to the sun.

When I learned that ancient pilgrims also walked a path more ancient and sacred than the current Camino, following the Milky Way or path of the stars, I couldn't help but reflect that pilgrimage was an opportunity to follow the path of the sun, so that our own light may shine more brightly.

I hope you enjoy this short reflection.

Keep shining!

VIDEO and AUDIO - Pilgrim Story Hour, Peek into the Past

While walking in Croatia, I was interviewed by a reporter in English for the evening news.

I was alone then, having separated from Alberto only a week earlier. I was recovering from a severe infection, staying with a priest and community that took me in without question. To this day, I am in awe of, and grateful for, the kindness they showed me.

This is rare footage from my time as a pilgrim, and re-enforces that this was indeed, for me, a journey of inner exploration... and that people are good!

My intro and interview are only 6 minutes. The rest is video of me packing my backpack and walking on the open road.

Enjoy and buen camino,
~Mony

PODCAST and VIDEO Pilgrim Story Hour - Courage

When I began walking alone, many people said, "Wow, you're so brave! Aren't you scared?"

Of course, a certain amount of courage is required to embark on any journey into the unknown, but I have come to appreciate that it's the small, moment-by-moment choices that we make about who we are as individuals that define true courage.

And sometimes, courage fails us.

On this episode, I share a story that took place in Syria and Lebanon, when my courage should have carried me, but didn't.

AUDIO and VIDEO Pilgrim Story Hour - Oh the Rains! :-)

How many times have we walked in the rain, and wished it was sunny?

Or walked in blistering heat, and thought about nothing but the cool rains?

On this episode, inspired by the rains of this day, I share a story about a rainy day’s walk in Croatia.

AUDIO and VIDEO Pilgrim Story Hour w/ Mony Dojeiji - Synchronicities

“Synchronicities”: often dismissed as random coincidences, these messengers of the Universe can help guide and support us in our journeys, if we but open our hearts and minds to them.

On this episode, I share the story of one of the many synchronicities that have guided me during my pilgrimages.

AUDIO and VIDEO Pilgrim Story Hour - The Sacred

Pilgrims throughout the ages and across all traditions have embarked on the quest to touch the sacred, that undefinable something that has power and meaning beyond what is simply physical.

AUDIO and VIDEO Pilgrim Story Hour - Walking Alone

Walking alone is possibly one of the greatest fears pilgrims have on their journeys.

But choosing to walk alone, even if it’s only for a short while, can offer opportunities for personal growth that walking with others simply can’t.

In this episode, I speak about separating from Alberto during our Rome-to-Jerusalem pilgrimage, and the deep lessons we each learned.
