Quo Vadis - A Pilgrim's Journey
Quo Vadis is a reflective podcast about following your calling — and what happens when you step into the unknown.
Drawing on myth, psychology, spirituality, and lived experience, the podcast explores the inner journey behind outer adventures. Each episode moves through themes such as transformation, surrender, purpose, fear, and meaning, inspired by Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.
Hosted by pilgrim, writer, and long-distance hiker Uffe Sveegaard, Quo Vadis weaves personal storytelling with conversations and reflections on what it means to live a life guided not by achievement, but by calling.
While the journey often unfolds through wilderness trails like the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, Quo Vadis is ultimately about the terrain within and how we return home changed.
This podcast is for listeners drawn to depth, mythic language, spiritual inquiry, and the courage it takes to live a meaningful life.

Prøvelsernes vej – Begyndelsen på Indvielsen
Prøvelsernes vej er begyndelsen på Indvielsen – en overgang, hvor helten ikke længere kan vende tilbage, men må gennemleve de udfordringer, der former ham eller hende. Det er her, vores fortsæt bliver testet, her vi konfronteres med os selv og alt det, vi troede, vi var.
I denne episode af Quo Vadis taler jeg med journalist og forfatter Gitte Holtze, som gik PCT’en i 2018. Sammen dykker vi ned i "Prøvelsernes Vej" – et af de mest krævende og transformative stadier på Helterejsen.
Med afsæt i vores egne oplevelser på PCT udforsker vi, hvad det vil sige at stå ansigt til ansigt med frygt, usikkerhed og tab af kontrol – og hvordan denne fase former os og leder til den egentlige indvielse.
