Pilgrimage, art, and the quiet persistence of paths walked by millions before us — and the ordinary days that unfold along the way.
Yuliya Schreib is an artist and author whose work explores the intersection of pilgrimage, embodied knowledge, and the landscapes that shape us. Walking ancient roads — the Via Francigena, the Camino de Santiago, the Kumano Kodo — she has found that the path teaches what no book can: that the body remembers what the mind forgets, and that ordinary days are where transformation lives.
She lives between Porto, Portugal, and wherever the next path leads.

A memoir of pilgrimage and presence — what happens when you walk an ancient road not to arrive, but to be changed by the walking itself. From the limestone paths of southern Europe to the cedar forests of Japan, this book follows the ordinary days that accumulate into something sacred.
More details coming soon.
The medieval pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome — 1,900 kilometers of history written into the landscape.
The Way of St. James — a thousand years of footsteps converging on Santiago de Compostela.
The sacred trails of the Kii Peninsula — where Shinto and Buddhist traditions meet in moss-covered stone and cedar shadow.
