PILGRIMAGE AS LISTENING
Speakers: Emmeline Hardisty, Martin Hugi, Satish Kumar, Zofia Page
Chair: Guy Hayward
Pilgrimage is a practice of listening to the land, ourselves, and one another. In this conversation, the panel will explore how walking as a pilgrim becomes a form of dialogue with place. What does it mean to allow pilgrimage to become not an act of seeking, but of receiving? Drawing on artistic, communal, and ecological practices, the panel weaves reflections on active receptivity.
