In various traditions the fashioning of a sacred art form is itself a "pilgrimage", emulating the journey of the soul back to its source or "centre".
- Draw nourishment from tradition by exploring our ancestors' love for symbol and ritual, Beauty, nature, and the Sacred through deepening your appreciation of their architectural treasures on the Camino de Santiago.
- Deepen your understanding through presentations on the Camino de Santiago and the art /architecture of pilgrimage.
- Visits to ancient petroglyphs and 7th century visigothic monastery of San Pedro de la Nave.
- You will deepen your appreciation through exploring the visible, hidden and symbolic geometry used in traditional art, the principles of geometry found in nature, as you are guided through how to construct some beautiful geometrical patterns on tea - stained paper.
- Collect Camino earths and learn how to prepare and paint using natural pigments.
- This will also be your opportunity to spend some quiet time in nature on the beautiful Camino de Santiago. Go for walks. Enjoy home - cooked meals under the pergola, fruit trees and vine. Share with others by the warmth of the fire each evening, and enjoy the stillness and quiet of the star - lit Milky Way.
