Message from Dr.Barry Kerzin

This fall 2016 we are planning our next sacred pilgrimage in Shikoku. People have consistently come away from these pilgrimages we’ve organized in the past enriched and happy. Our pilgrimage in beautiful Shikoku will provide the setting for our inner pilgrimage. We shall sometimes be in silence, sometimes meditate, sometimes walk, sometimes laugh, and continually unite our minds and hearts with the surrounding beautiful nature. In this way for several days we shall become one with nature, our inner and the outer worlds. Please join us and become free and happy for several days.
