"I am convinced that pilgrimage is still a bona fide spirit-renewing ritual. But I also believe in pilgrimage as a powerful metaphor for any journey with the purpose of finding something that matters deeply to the traveler. With a deepening of focus, keen preparation, attention to the path below our feet, and respect for the destination at hand, it is possible to transform even the most ordinary journey into a sacred journey, a pilgrimage."
-- Phil Cousineau, from THE ART OF PILGRIMAGE
My love of travel and healthy living has led to the birth of my newest project, Rawsome Pilgrimages. Each time I venture out for an extended period, whether in a car, train, or plane, I endeavor to make the most of my travel, as a pilgrimage toward discovery of new and wondrous things along my path. So far, I always come away enriched and enlivened!
Many of you have asked about joining me on my travels to healthy spots around the globe, and one of my New Years revolutions is to embrace this challenge, and invite you to come along. As you may know, I'm an accomplished tour leader (since I was a sprout!) and know how to make "the pilgrimage" delightful and meaningful.
As I already mentioned while celebrating my friend Ibu Robin's selection as CNN's 2011 Hero, I am planning a pilgrimage to Bali in October. Plans are still in the hatching stage, but if you are interested in this trip, now would be the time to let me know of your interest by
sending an email.
All the details for the second scheduled Rawsome Pilgrimage, tentatively slated for Nov 5 12, 2012, to Sedona, Arizona aren't quite locked down, but if you care to join me for a Whole Body Rejuvenation Retreat,
send me an email, and I will keep you informed with all the details.
Thanks for visiting Rawsome Pilgrimages. During the next couple of months I will be developing the Rawsome Pilgrimages website -- please check back!
