Retreat Description: I went on pilgrimage to the sacred sites of Ireland and then on another for two months through the sacred sites of Europe (ending at Chartres). I am passionate to share how pilgrimages changed my world view and am discovering that the basic principles of any pilgrimage can enliven our lives. Benet Hill Monastery grounds and forest are perfect for creating the “pilgrimage experience” with many pathways, and areas for silent contemplation and for sharing experiences. We will use the principles outlined in Christine Valters-Paintner’s book, “The Soul of a Pilgrim: Eight Practices for the Journey Within. 

NOTE: Each participant is to bring a backpack or day pack with the following items: a water bottle, walking shoes, a hat, rain gear, a journal book or pages, pen and colored pencils (I’ll have extras), and YOUR LUNCH AND MUNCHIES for the walks. Be ready for surprises!
(If you can’t walk in the woods, I’ll have alternatives for you with the same goals and surprises.)
