I’m so delighted that our sweet journey to Italy (April 3 - 13) is finally going ahead! There are two spots open if you can join us…

THE PLAN: We’ll relish the elusive ingredients that make for la dolce vita, the sweet life. We will visit great art masterpieces, brilliant architecture, the Venice archipelago, Northern Italian hilltop villages, and the medieval cities of Rome, Assisi, Florence, Verona, and Parma. Our travels will be framed by daily conversations of “The Great Beauty” that is at the heart of Italian culture in its myths, art, literature, fashion, and food.

You’re invited to join me on Tuesday, Oct 26, at 6PM CT / 7PM ET / 4PM PT for a FREE online event on “The Art of Pilgrimage” hosted by Barbara's Bookstores.
The Art of Pilgrimage has just been released in a 3rd (almost 25th Anniversary!) edition —perfect timing, as we see travel opening up again, and (according to Nat Geo) more people now than ever before are planning special journeys, or pilgrimages.
I’m proud that it’s still in print, and has become a beloved book to so many for both sacred and secular travel, offering a template for garnering more meaning and purpose, love, and beauty of our journeys.
So please join me on Tuesday to talk travel! Sign up is easy and you can join from ANYWHERE. You’ll also be supporting Barbara’s, my favorite indie bookstore in Chicagoland! Click the link:
