The Renaissance was a period of triumph for the arts and reestablishment of Classical style and philosophy. It comes as no surprise that this artistic rebirth following The Dark Ages began in a land renowned for la dolce vita<\/em>: Italy. Like much of Europe, Italy is a time capsule. Going there, one feels integrated into a past time of great myth, lore, and artistic triumph. It’s a place to truly experience the power of art.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we\u2019ll be visiting Italy on our Mythic Italy<\/em> tour, it\u2019s fitting to explore how the art you\u2019ll be shown there by Phil Cousineau can be a true catalyst for your transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art: Healer of the Soul and Catalyst for Self-Discovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Phil<\/a> exploring the essence of sacred travel, he says: \u201c\u2018sacred\u2019 refers to something that is worthy of our reverence and our respect. The Greeks had this marvelous notion that a profound experience can be impressed into the soul as if the soul were wax. That\u2019s thinking like an artist, like a painter, like a photographer.\u201d Thinking like an artist while traveling allows the art to leave an imprint on the soul. There’s no better place than Rome to allow this process to ensue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rome (where our journey begins) is renowned for its glorious architecture, food, and literature. In his epic poem titled The Aeneid<\/em>, Rome\u2019s great poet Virgil pseudo-historically retrieves the torch of political and artistic authority from Classical Greece and brings it to Rome. The poetry therein cleverly sings of Rome\u2019s founding, and Virgil calls it imperium sine fine<\/em>, or, an empire without end. This helped establish Rome as \u201cThe Eternal City.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While pondering deeply over Virgil\u2019s work and its effects, the power of art becomes apparent. In this \u201cEternal City,\u201d history plays out before its viewer’s eyes. But what can the art do to us? How can it alter who we wish to be on a creative and even spiritual level? 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art takes us outside the confines of our worlds and drops us off into alternate realities. There, we grow creative, empathetic, inquisitive, inspired, and even grateful. We\u2019re placed in a melancholy landscape, for example, while viewing the “blue period” paintings by Picasso. There, we can empathize with the sorrow Picasso faced at the death of his beloved friend. As another example, we experience an inspirational glow of curiosity at experiencing the monumental foundations of Romulus and Remus in Rome. If we look at these things deeply enough, we begin to feel our own creative desires sparking. A thankfulness becomes planted in the soul, and a sense of inspired clarity ensues. But what can this do for us and our return from an artistic journey abroad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embracing the Power of Art for a World That Needs It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking ancient streets, particularly those of a place like Italy, one naturally wonders how our modern world became so deprived of the importance of art. For example, much of modern architecture is no longer designed and built in an inspiring fashion. While Western civilizations of the past depended on art for civil satisfaction and political triumph, modern Western civilization is largely lacking artistic motivations.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roaming the streets of a place with ancient roots, we feel the earth all around us\u2014we feel a sacred wholeness and the inevitable lull of artistic pursuit. We can accurately say that the world needs more people who are willing to follow such a pursuit, especially those who are willing to go on pilgrimages and become inspired.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"power

Going on a pilgrimage<\/a> amounts to an eventual return with a gift for the pilgrim’s community. This is no physical gift for said community, but rather a changed soul ready to partake in service of some kind. In myth and lore of old, the archetypal \u201chero\u2019s journey\u201d often includes \u201cthe hero\u2019s return\u201d in which the hero\u2019s transformation becomes the community\u2019s or even the world\u2019s transformation as well.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To visit mythic Italy<\/a> is to go on a creative, and yes, spiritual pilgrimage. Such a journey among the power of art can reinspire the pilgrim\u2019s creative side or even inspire the very beginnings of artistic endeavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Importance of Embracing La Dolce Vita<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Italy is the place to go to experience the sweet life (called la dolce vita<\/em> by the locals). The phrase itself comes from the name of an art piece, namely, a film by Frederico Fellini. The film is set during the end of the 1950s, a time of post-World War II economic boom for Italy (and especially Rome). Although \u201cthe sweet life\u201d is now often associated with indulgence and worldly pleasures, it has a spiritual component especially when conceived under a mindful context. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the pilgrim, la dolce vita <\/em>has much to do with worldly goods, yes, but the focus is placed on their transformational powers. Also, much of these goods are artistic in nature such as good food, good wine, good coffee, and amusing visual arts. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Italians based in Rome would agree that cum Romanis feceris quod in romam facere<\/em>, or, \u201cwhen in Rome do as the Romans do.\u201d The phrase reveals an essential component of spiritual travel: becoming as one with a culture and place. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of anthropology, there are stories of researchers becoming engrossed in the cultures they study. Many find new sides of themselves and wish to never return home. Others return changed for the better when all they expected to do was examine a culture. Like these anthropologists, we must go deeper than simply analyzing culture from the outside-in. For a sacred journey to ensue, we must fully integrate ourselves in the experience of culture and \u201cdo as the Romans do.\u201d 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While visiting Italy, we\u2019ll be using our senses to become Italian for awhile. We\u2019ll savor the food, coffee, and wines of the region with the intention of merging with a rich, ancient culture. We\u2019ll be visiting cities that contain rich literary traditions such as Florence. We\u2019ll be examining how creative, spiritual power brings about civilizations that continue to attract curious pilgrims long after their fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
