While on pilgrimage in Nepal, I had the good fortune of running into dharma teacher Scott Tusa. We took the opportunity to sit down and reflect on the themes of pilgrimage, practice, and parenting—and how these seemingly separate aspects of life are deeply intertwined on the spiritual path. In this conversation, we explored the monastic and householder paths, and how we both share this experience—having lived as monastics and now bringing our practice into the everyday realities of parenting. We also talked about how to approach pilgrimage with intention and how to carry that view into the rhythms and responsibilities of daily life.
