Power and Spirit

Washington, DC pilgrimage

This pilgrimage through the Nation’s Capital is a unique opportunity to experience sacred Washington, DC as seen through the extraordinary lens of power and spirit. Discover the history, culture, and spiritual lives of this nation's leaders and servants.  Explore the paths that connect these stories back to you, your daily routines and how this may all connect with a Greater and Wiser Story that threads through all our spirits. Experience the timeless universal concept of pilgrimage, a journey with the purpose of discovering the sacred, in a contemporary way to return home with a renewed vision and understanding heart.

Discover the source of authentic power and leadership as we guide you through a landscape seeped in history and rich in images of the human and universal spirit. Unlike any other tour of the area, this is a journey specifically designed to experience the sacred stories of the people and place and to connect it with our own stories. We begin by feeling the immense power and strength of Lincoln as we stand diminutively in the shadows of his statue and words. The power of his words still echo through time and our thoughts as we hear, “Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” 

As we move through this landscape, we may ponder and reflect on what formed his true power and leadership as we stand before a small bronze statue of Lincoln on his knees in humble prayer or thought. The power of the idea that all men and women are created equal still informs democratic thought in the USA.  How does that form us today with our daily choices when we see a homeless or displaced person? We continue the day exploring several other sites as we hear the stories that have formed and informed us as individuals and as a country. Join us for a journey that will stimulate the mind with history, inform the heart with stories of the individual human spirit and transform the soul with the power of a greater universal spirit.

On this one-day journey through sacred Washington, DC you will:

• Encounter in a unique way several treasured sites, some of which may include the Lincoln Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, the National Cathedral, Roosevelt Island and Capitol Hill.
• Hear the unique stories of the history of this nation and the people who formed it and our collective thought from various professional resources.
