Being Gathering 2017: Walkabout Modern Pilgrimage, Healing Journeys in the Landscape
Channel: Claude
Date: 2017-07-05

From Aboriginal ‘Walkabout’ to Vision Quests and Sacred Pilgrimages, mankind has always known the healing power of walking and interacting with the land. Modern spiritual and multi-faith pilgrimage is on the rise. In this talk, Angharad shares her insights into the power of what she calls ‘Dreaming the Land’, the act of walking and connecting to the landscape’s stories, history, archaeology, ancestors and spirits, as a way to heal both people and place. Insights are drawn from ten years experience of guiding groups on spiritual and creative expeditions across the wild places of Britain, and offered as a framework for all to re-wilden and undertake dreaming quests across their native or local landscapes.
