Mystics of the Rhineland Pilgrimage

Join us this October as we journey into the heart of medieval Europe, a land that gave rise to some of the most luminous voices in Christian mysticism. Our Mystics of the Rhineland Pilgrimage will take us to Amsterdam, Bingen, Cologne, Rüdesheim, and Strasbourg, tracing the lives and landscapes of Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, the Beguines, and others. Through their teachings and examples, these mystics invited the world to awaken to the sacredness of creation and the presence of the Divine in all things.

As Meister Eckhart wrote, “The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.” In this spirit, this pilgrimage will invite participants to encounter the divine vitality that animates both the human heart and the natural world.

Tentative dates for the pilgrimage are October 3-13, departing from and returning to Charlotte, N.C. The journey will include a day cruise on the Rhine River and many stops at places both sacred and historic. Confirmed dates and pilgrimage costs will be announced in early March. All you need to do is register (free of charge) so we can hold a spot for you and, if applicable, a travel companion. Just click the green "Get Tickets" button. By reserving a space for yourself (and, if you wish, a travel companion), you will hear first about our Early Bird registration rate and get notified when registration opens in mid March.

CSW Director Rob Field will lead the pilgrimage, with logistical support from a German educational tour company. This will be the Center's sixth international pilgrimage
