The name "peregrino" in Latin means the one who crosses borders. Christopher Howe left the comfort and security of his Los Angeles life behind to make a pilgrimage on foot to the Amazon. Along the way he discovered that everything in life is within walking distance. Christopher Howe walked from Los Angeles to a location deep inside the Amazon of Brazil, carrying prayers from people he met on the road, praying for them as he walked, exchanging them for another prayer with the next person he met on the road. He uses the allegorical aspects of pilgrimage and "promessa": Walking into the unknown on faith, leaving your baggage and stories behind, and making the symbols of pilgrimage present, powerful, and practical, to use in our everyday lives.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
