Walking a Sacred Path is a transformational program that is offered in two cycles. Each cycle features a different faculty person. Both cycles include one private, after hours labyrinth walk and one public walk in Chartres Cathedral. Cost includes all program: morning seminars, a small group discussion, an opening reception, a closing dinner, a tour of the crypt in English, a tour with Malcolm Miller and leisure hours spent in the enchanting Medieval village that surrounds the magnificent Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres.
Join us in September 2008 for Cycle One with Lauren Artress on The Three Questions of Life, or Cycle Two with Jean Shindoa Bolen on Crossing to Avalon: A Journey to the Sacred Feminine, or both! Add on Labyrinth Facilitator Training for an unforgettable experience.
Pilgrimage:
"The art of movement, the poetry of motion, the music of personal experience, of the sacred in those places it has been known to shine forth. If we are not astounded by these possibilities, we can never plumb the depths of our own souls or the soul of the world.
The force behind myths fairytales, parables and soulful travel stories reveals the myriad ways the sacred breaks through the resistance and shines forth into our world. Pilgrimage holds out the promise of personal contact with that sacred force.
What is sacred is what is worthy of our reverence, what evokes awe and wonder in the human heart, and what, when contemplated, transforms us utterly."
-- Phil Cousineau, The Art Of Pilgrimage: The Seeker's Guide To Making Travel Sacred
