Threshold Journeys: The Essence of Pilgrimage
A pilgrimage is intentional travel designed to escort participants back and forth across the threshold between their day-to-day perspectives and an embodied sense of being in the presence of the Divine. Echoes of Eden holds the felt sense of being in ancient sacred space where personal growth and transformation can happen.
“Pilgrimage is the kind of journeying that marks this move from mindless to mindful, soulless to soulful travel.
The difference may be subtle or dramatic; by definition it is life-changing. It means being alert to the times when all that’s needed is a trip to a remote place to simply lose yourself, and to the times when what’s needed is a journey to a sacred place, in all its glorious and fearsome masks, to find yourself. Always, it is a journey of risk and renewal.” – Phil Cousineau
As pilgrims at holy site, we explore embodied spiritual practices to deepen our self-knowledge, while connecting more profoundly with the Divine. Through the exchange of ideas, dreams, and prayers, we transform our journey into an intentional pilgrimage.
