Sacred Steps: Why We Still Walk the World’s Holy Paths
September 21 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Speaker: Dina Sorokina. Cost: $15; free for fall subscribers and SU students and employees. In an era of hyper-connectivity and deep social division, millions are turning to an ancient practice: the pilgrimage. Drawing on firsthand experiences from the Camino de Santiago, Japan’s Kumano Kodo and Shikoku pilgrimages, and the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, this lecture will explore the modern evolution of the sacred walk and the complex economic realities of ‘sacred tourism.’
