The Sacred & the Secular in Everyday Life
The stories we love reveal what is of ultimate value to us. Even in their ordinariness, they reveal what we hold dear. The images, the drama, the plots all portray what is in our psyche. In telling and listening to these stories we take a ritual journey through the landscape of our memories, our dreams, our souls. In the end the "sacred" and the "secular" are all aspects of a single unified mystery which is our life story.


What are Storyfest Journeys?
Storyfest Journeys are more than travel and tourism. They are pilgrimages -- journeys into legendary places through histories, stories, dramas, and art -- to Assisi, Iona, Ravenna, Iceland, the Orkneys, Avila, New Orleans, Venice, Santa Fe, Cornwall, Santiago de Compostela, and other destinations both sacred and secular..


And Storyfest Virtual Journeys?

Our virtual journeys are custom one-to-one seminars to prepare you for a rich travel pilgrimage. Explore the stories and creatively craft them to mirror your own pilgrimage through life
