This interactive lecture focuses on re-discovering our true nature through pilgrimage and retreats in your own backyard, home, or community. Sometimes money, time, and/or circumstances do not afford us the opportunity for pilgrimage or retreat, but that should not stop us from finding time to delve inward.
Many different retreat and pilgrimage ideas will be discussed, as well as step-by-step directions on how to organize, schedule, and facilitate a personal pilgrimage, even if it is for a few hours. Ideas including the use of finger labyrinths, walking labyrinths, spending time in nature, creating art, reading, writing, or journaling, meditating or just sitting still will be discussed.
Participants will leave with a plethora of ideas and a plan for organizing their own private pilgrimage or retreat.
