More specifically (and of interest to us), Elena touches on visiting Rome and Florence. These two cities of great cultural interest are indeed open to travelers, once again standing as ideal hubs for exploring nearby towns and villages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/current-tours\/la-dolce-vita-the-sweet-life-of-mythic-italy-with-phil-cousineau#itinerary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">the itinerary<\/a> for our upcoming journey with bestselling author Phil Cousineau, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/current-tours\/la-dolce-vita-the-sweet-life-of-mythic-italy-with-phil-cousineau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><em>La Dolce Vita: The Sweet Life of Mythic Italy with Phil Cousineau<\/em><\/a>, you\u2019ll discover that Rome and Florence are indeed two highlights of our pilgrimage through Italy with Phil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our journey to Italy presents the perfect example of why it\u2019s an ideal time to visit these lands. <em>La dolce vita<\/em> means \u201cthe sweet life\u201d, epitomizing all we hope to experience within Italy\u2019s embrace. On our tour, we prioritize the heart of Italian culture in its myths, art, literature, fashion, and crafts. These are the things that make up an interesting life well spent, or, &#8220;the sweet life&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things haven\u2019t been so sweet for many of us lately. Many have felt stuck at home, were perhaps separated from loved ones, or even knew people struggling with illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wise men and women are calling these COVID times a collective right of passage\u2014a rebirth of sorts. The times have forced us to go within, to question our lives, it\u2019s contents, and where we want to go next. We\u2019ve learned that slowing down isn\u2019t all so bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Sacred Earth Journeys, we have for years assisted the type of self-discovery and care necessary for these times especially. That\u2019s why a journey as potent as this one to Italy is important to us and our participants. It has the capacity to reignite all that is sweet in life, to assist its participants in staying in the right lane on this \u201ccollective right of passage&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring the Sweet Life in Italy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3710\" height=\"2684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/48094478906_f7f00caa53_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3419 img-responsive \"\/><figcaption><em><strong>Rome, Lazio, Italy &#8211; Scene in Piazza Navona at sunset on a summer day with people strolling. All rights reserved.<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our journey actually begins in Rome. Is that a surprise? After all, Rome is the Eternal City, the vibrant capital and cultural juggernaut of Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With master traveler and scholar Phil Cousineau, you\u2019ll hit the ground running with exciting visits to sites such as the Roman Coliseum, Forum, and the Trevi Fountain. Having a foundational understanding of history and civilization, while visiting places where \u201cthings happened\u201d, is as important to the sweet life as the delicacies such civilizations produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After exploring some picturesque northern Italian towns like Orvieto and Assisi, we eventually make our way to the city where scholars, artists, and scientists rediscovered the glories of the classical world: Florence. Being the heart of the Renaissance, Florence is perhaps most symbolic of our sacred quest into <em>la dolce vita<\/em>, for in this city the myriad pleasures of life are on full display.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We journey to Duomo di Firenze, the Cathedral of Florence, and even walk in the footsteps of Dante Aligheri, the father of the modern Italian language and author of the Divine Comedy, by visiting his thirteenth-century home-museum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling with Phil Cousineau is a massive boon to the mission of visiting Italy as a pilgrim as opposed to a \u201ctypical traveler\u201d. According to Phil, a typical traveler might enjoy an afternoon walking to visit sites and casually snapping some photos along the way. The pilgrim, however, looks \u201cthrough the facade of a culture and into its soul.\u201d This is quoted from <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/F0XikKDksoU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">a charming video we created<\/a> of Phil speaking on the essence of sacred travel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continues: \u201cBy \u2018the soul\u2019 I mean the essence of the place; whatever\u2019s true about the culture, the city\u2026We all long to do that. We long to believe there\u2019s something beyond the veneer of our own lives, nevertheless the veneer of a culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phil believes there\u2019s a sacred component of travel that goes beyond a more classic vision of, for example, monks singing Gregorian chants on their way to Jerusalem. Sacred to Phil is simply something that is worthy of our reverence and respect. By taking a breath, slowing down, and paying attention, we can discover the sacred existing within people, landscapes, and places all around us as well as in the new places we travel to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Italy?
