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 who seek depth, meaning, and the courage to walk their own path - even when the way forward is unclear.
Quo Vadis - A Pilgrim's Journey
Camino del Norte 3 - To Lose in Order to Find
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
An unexpected encounter throws me off balance: a woman forces herself upon me and steals my crucifix. Like a vampire's bite, it drains me, leaving me shaken and naked. But in the loss, the shell is stripped away – and the light finds its way in.
In this third chapter of my pilgrimage on the Camino del Norte, I discover that I have come here to mourn Susanne. Music, encounters, and spiritual texts open the path, and I realize that the Camino is not about holding onto what I thought it should be, but about surrendering to the path I am actually given. Again.
A tale of loss, grief, and longing – and of how we sometimes must lose in order to find.
