Israel; The Holy Land & Petra
Spring 2009
The land now known as Israel is sacred to all the spiritual traditions of the ‘Book’ – the faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Nowhere else on Earth are the universal principles that underlie all faiths, and the schisms that have divided them, in such clear contrast than here. If peace, reconciliation and mutual respect can come to this land which has been a microcosm of our collective shifts, then it can come on a global basis.
In this amazing journey of inner and outer discovery we will visit and attune to some of the most significant – and some of the most secret of the many sacred sites that abound here.
From the Essene sanctuary of Qumran, to the Mount of Olives, Temple Mount and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and the Heights of Megiddo, we will weave the past and present into a tapestry of highest intention and hope for the future. And we will do so during the special Judaic time of the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles.
We will then travel on to Jordan staying with Bedouin hosts in the extraordinary desert landscape of Wadi Rum. We will explore the remarkable Nabatean city of Petra and complete our journey with two days to integrate our experiences and relax at the beautiful Red Sea city of Aqaba.
