ASSISI, April 9 – 16, 2024

"Pilgrimage to Assisi"

with Thomas Atum O'Kane & Emmanuel O'Kane

Assisi 2024

May Assisi convey to all human beings the scent of pure life.
May Assisi be a place of glorification for all eternity.
St. Francis

The above is the blessing that St. Francis gave to Assisi as he was dying. The qualities of glorification and a renewal in the pure life have drawn pilgrims for hundreds of years to this jewel of a town in the midst of a landscape of sublime beauty. Like the time of St. Francis, today the world is in profound need of remembering the pure life and the Divine Glory revealed in Nature. St. Francis, like Rumi, is a figure that has inspired spiritual seekers beyond his tradition. Assisi has become a sacred place with surrounding centers of various faiths. Pope Francis consciously choose the name of the Saint with the intention of revivifying his much needed message in the contemporary world.

Assisi is also a place of pilgrimage for St .Claire and she vividly embodies the archetypes of the inner guide and light. Together St. Francis and St Claire, in their spiritual friendship, represent the inner alchemical marriage of the masculine and feminine dimensions of spirituality. The mythic elements of their journeys hold many of the archetypical themes we have explored in the various trainings of the Spiritual Guidance Wisdom School. Community was an essential to both St. Francis and St. Claire. We shall share in a pilgrimage group drawn from various countries and Spiritual Guidance Communities. We will journey together in soul friendship and as companions of the heart.

Cost: $1350 USD

NEPAL, TBA

"Nepal: The Eyes of the Buddha"

with Emmanuel & Atum O'Kane

Nepal Montage

Cost: TBA.

Our pilgrimage will take us to the top of the world and into the heart of an enchanting, complex, resilient country. As pilgrims, we will journey together through the mandala city of Kathmandu's ancient alleyways, to the natural beauty of villages in the foothills of the Himalayas, to the majestic mountain lakeside city of Pokhara.

Religion is deeply ingrained into the Nepalese way of living. Together we will visit Buddhist pilgrimage sites, monasteries and Hindu temples that are a living transmission of a sacred place and culture. Nepal is home to one of the oldest forms of Buddhism. It is where Buddha was born and where Guru Rinpoche found enlightenment. It was Nepal that brought Buddhism to Tibet and Bhutan. Hinduism predates Buddhism and remains vividly alive, preserved and untouched by the Mughal invasion of India and subsequent upheavals. These two great religions and ways of life are interwoven and live side by side. Sacred places are often marked by temples or monuments to both religions and deities from both religions are honored and incarnated into each other’s religion. Temples, monasteries, stupas, monuments, and daily rituals fill Nepal from the streets to the mountaintops, and continue to be the center of life. Come join us on this unique magical journey.

With Thanks & Love, Emmanuel
