Pilgrimages
|
What is a pilgrimage? According to the dictionary, a pilgrimage is "a journey to a holy, special, or unusual place taken as an act of spiritual devotion."
The “holy places” that are the destinations of my pilgrimages are immersion experiences into the Nature and Wilderness of Olympic National Park and the Olympic Peninsula. The act of spiritual devotion I invite you to explore is the practice of revealing your own Spiritual nature in the midst of ordinary life. In my mind, Spirituality is not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma. Instead, spirituality encompasses an interconnectedness with all of life and a belief in a unifying force greater than us. As you spend time with the Divine in Nature and practice tools that allow you to expand the roots of your spiritual nature you will gain the skills and confidence to walk with courage, strength and an emerging sense of grace into your own best life no matter what is happening around you. The wilderness calls us to be with life’s messiness, to relinquish our desire to control what is happening, and enter whole-heartedly into life’s unfolding. |
The earth is full of thresholds where beauty awaits the wonder of our gaze." |
