The fifth of a series of five theme talks on the theme 'To Be a Pilgrim'. Featuring Sarah Tinker and Caroline Blair. "And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home." Wendell Berry. How deep the impulse is to set off on pilgrimage - to take the sacred path toward one's authentic self, to the core of our being. Such journeys may be solitary, yet more often are taken in the good company of others. Our theme sessions this week will trace the ancient pattern of sacred journeys, as each morning a fellow traveller will converse with us, sharing their passions, insights and life experiences. Pilgrimage allows the traveller time to turn inwards and reflect, the chance to ask questions of the self. Where does our spiritual compass point to? How do we recognise our true path? To be a pilgrim is to let go of accustomed ways and instead seek new vistas and visions; what better place than Hucklow Summer School to embark on such a journey.
