Full E-book First published in 1998 and updated with a new preface by the author, The Art of Pilgrimage is a sacred travel guide in book form that is full of inspiration for the spiritual traveler. Award-winning writer and filmmaker and host of the acclaimed Global Spirit "Internal travel" television series seen on PBS and Link TV, Phil Cousineau weaves stories, myths, parables, and quotes from famous travelers with practical suggestions and accounts of modern-day pilgrims to show that there is something sacred waiting to be discovered in virtually every journey. Connecting these voices is a series of meditations that suggest different ways to practice what pilgrims and poets have done for centuries, to see with the ?eyes of the heart.? With over 70 illustrations, this book is for the traveler who longs for something more than diversion and escape. The Art of Pilgrimage shows that every journey can be sacred, soulful, and transformative if it is undertaken with a desire for spiritual risk and renewal. Whether traveling to Mecca or Memphis, Stonehenge or Cooperstown, one?s journey becomes meaningful when the traveler?s heart and imagination are open to experiencing the sacred.Praise for the original edition: "Of all the books I've ever read about pilgrimage, this is the most poetic, personal, and timely. I recommend it to everyone I lead around Ireland." - John O'Donohue, author of Anam Cara"This book made me wish I could retrace my footsteps with Joe [Campbell] when we traveled the world together." - Jean Erdman Campbell, dancer and choreographer"What makes travel sacred? The sense that gods are watching as we walk the myth-ridden heights of Ephesus, yes. The awareness that rocks almost as old as time ride the cliffs above our heads in Wyoming?s Wind River Canyon, almost certainly. I have made pilgrimages all my life. One, along the sea-roads of Charles Darwin, consumed more than 20 years. Then I found Phil Cousineau and now he is my guide on every wandering." - Georgia I. Hesse, founding travel editor, San Francisco Examiner"An excellent guide book . . . . the quintessential traveling companion with its juicy quotations and stories, its ample spiritual insights, its perennial wisdom, and its vibrant enthusiasm for the deep pleasures and rewards of soulful travel." - Spirituality and Practice "If Phil Cousineau's fine book were to have the influence it deserves, tourism might cease to be an environmental blight and become an educational blessing . . . Cousineau's admirable goal is to revive the ancient practice of pilgrimage, or at least something of its spirit, as an alternative to fast- paced, money-driven globe-trotting. The Art of Pilgrimage, a handsome, tastefully illustrated little volume, is based on his own extensive travel experience both as a solitary wanderer and a tour guide. It includes highly ritualized ways of preparing for journeys and recommendations for making every step along the way into an opportunity to feed the soul." - Theodore Roszak, San Francisco Chronicle"Cousineau describes the 'common rites' of a classic pilgrimage as adhered to through the ages, and in the process he suggests ways in which a contemporary traveler can ensure that a trip is a pilgrimage, a life-changing ritual that entails 'a deepening of focus, keen preparation, attention to the path below our feet, and respect for the destination at hand.' Seeking answers to one's own existence? Cousineau guarantees that the pilgrimage approach is the right path for obtaining those answers.' - Brad Hooper, Booklist"Stories, anecdotes, quotes, vignettes, and practical suggestions from travelers and pilgrims throughout history create a guide to building a personal journey by learning to slow down and linger, savor, and absorb each stage--from the first strands of desire to travel through the journey to the return." - Library Journal For Online
