It was over 600 years ago when Dante, the prolific Italian epic poet and pilgrim, decided on going on a pilgrimage from the mythological forest of his mind into the unknown. In the process, he ventured through the terrifying underworld, yet also acquainted himself with the heavenly spheres. This was all with the guidance of the poets and heroes who helped him become a hero himself. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And although Dante\u2019s literary pilgrimage resides in the layer of reality we call \u201cmyth,\u201d it has much to teach us about going on a pilgrimage ourselves<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mythology, Travel, and the \u201cSoulful Journey\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phil Cousineau, who\u2019s soon to lead our \u201cSweet Life of Mythic Italy\u201d journey, says something remarkable in his beloved book, \u201cThe Art of Pilgrimage.\u201d Phil writes: \u201cIf the journey you have chosen is indeed a pilgrimage, a soulful journey, it will be rigorous. Ancient wisdom suggests if you aren’t trembling as you approach the sacred, it isn’t the real thing. The sacred, in its various guises as holy ground, art, or knowledge, evokes emotion and commotion.\u201d 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To truly embark on a soulful journey<\/a>, we mustn\u2019t avoid our own layers of hell whether they\u2019re mental or physical. There\u2019s something to be said about the strenuousness of a long hike or road trip as opposed to, say, an all-inclusive holiday getaway. This is particularly true when the journey contains points of interest along the way such as \u201choly ground, art, or [some form of] knowledge\u201d as Phil writes. Yet with the right mentality, any journey can be a \u201csoulful journey.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, our upcoming journey through Italy will immerse you in what makes for la dulce vita <\/em>or \u201cthe sweet life.\u201d Food, wine, coffee, and dreamy medieval landscapes will fill much of the itinerary\u2014so what makes this journey more of a pilgrimage than your average holiday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy is a land where things happened. It holds the seat of what was once the Roman Empire and houses a plethora of significant art and mythology. After all, without Rome\u2019s beloved poet, Virgil, Dante (whose home is in Florence) may have not chosen to brace the underworld and break new mythological and vernacular grounds. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting a place drenched in unknown mythology, architecture, history, and lifestyle can be a challenge to both the intellect and soul. It\u2019s often easier to remain lost in the forest of our minds. But like Dante, we must venture forth into new territory, to see what there is to see and meet who there is to meet, so might we expand and return from the pilgrimage with gifts and knowledge to benefit our communities at large. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going on a Pilgrimage is Taking the Journey Embedded in Our DNA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The great mythologer Joseph Campbell shed light on recurring themes and archetypes present in many different stories. These myths and legends span myriads of different cultures and time periods. He came to know mythology, in his own words, as \u201cpsychology misread as biography, history, and cosmology.\u201d 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The striking similarities between myths of the ages (e.g. the hero\u2019s journey, recurring characters, and motific phases of the pilgrimage) certainly reveal what\u2019s lingering inside the psychology and soul of humans: the sheer importance of pilgrimage.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what can one do to turn an ordinary journey into a pilgrimage?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek Places of Peace and Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"going

Martin Gray\u2019s brilliantly illustrated book Sacred Earth: Places of Peace and Power<\/a> <\/em>is an invaluable resource for finding the sacred wherever you may be traveling. Whether it be the neolithic stones of Cornwall and Wiltshire or the holy churches and mountains of Mexico\u2014you\u2019re sure to find a piece of the holy wherever you go. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pilgrimage, however, isn\u2019t only about reaching a destination to admire its glory, history, and ambiance. It\u2019s about revealing an inner glory to build and expand on after your return. This is what we\u2019ll cover next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create Intention Before and While Going on a Pilgrimage <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why are you traveling? If you’re going on a pilgrimage, hopefully your intention is to become inspired and to enter more fully into life rather than escape it. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilgrim is he or she who leaves their day-to-day lives in search of healing, meaning, and inspiration. Further, the ultimate goal of the pilgrim is to bring these gifts home to enrich and recreate their realities. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re planning a journey to England and wish to transform your travels into a pilgrimage. Your plan is to head to London for a visit with an old friend and to cradle your senses in the cafes and old streets that help make up la dulce vita<\/em>, if you would. Now, however, you wish to bring deeper awareness to your journey, to come home inspired and energized rather than unchanged. At this point, you\u2019re willing to speak with your friend about what type of journey you want while hoping for shifts in itinerary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out your friend is a good host. He mentions some points of interest throughout London including Westminster Abbey and St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral. You feel your deeper, artistic side ring with delight, a side of you that has been waiting in earnest to sprout from the forest of your mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace, Rather Than Avoid, Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Travel and seeing things requires risk, finances, and vulnerability. And while Phil cleverly teaches that sacred travel causes both \u201cemotion and commotion,\u201d we can also say that travel can be a sacred form of \u201cmotion,\u201d steered not only by our highest triumphs but by our darkest fears and agitations as well.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great way to embrace discomfort is by studying the way we perceive experiences, particularly ones we\u2019ve decided to coin as \u201cnegative.\u201d For example, is forgetting a vital item at home actually a loss or just an excuse to explore an intriguing shop in town to find a new one? Are the streets swamped with dangerous drivers and traffic an excuse to become frustrated or, rather, a prolonged opportunity to appreciate the surrounding scenery?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pilgrimage is not to be seen as a straight, narrow path to the divine. Instead, enjoy getting lost in the woods. This is your chance, like Dante of Florence, to carve a brand new path untrodden by the rest of humanity!
