Spring/Summer is a time of movement, adventures, and growth. The warmer weather and long weekends also makes these seasons the perfect time to travel and explore.
But travel is likely still not an option for many as the world struggles to reclaim a “new normal” after several tense (more like intense) months of battling the super-virus known as COVID-19.
People are slowly returning to life B.C (Before Coronavirus) but many are understandably reluctant to venture too far from home.
But here’s the deal—soothing your wanderlust doesn’t have to mean highway miles, airline tickets, or booking a cruise. Travelers can find sanctuary in a pilgrimage in their own backyards and communities…and also from the comfort of their favorite chair, porch swing, or backyard lounger.
Pilgrimage: A Modern Seeker’s Guide by Evans Bowen will motivate readers to turn off Netflix, soak up some culture, and cultivate a more positive mindset. It will also open the reader’s eyes to the fact that, when physical travel may be prohibited, the world is available to us via an internet connection.
Obviously, virtual travel can’t take the place of the real thing, but it can contain spiritual awareness opportunities that we may have never thought of before. Here are some examples:
Virtual Travel from Your Favorite Chair
Museums
- Virtual Tours of Paris Museum Paintings
- National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
- Museum of Natural History
- The Louve
Outer Space
Opera/Concerts
“Life is hard, and if we don’t take the time to hear our own voices and reach out for more meaning, we will be swept up in the world and in danger of losing our lives to society, obligations, and fear.”~Pilgrimage: A Modern Seeker’s Guide
