A Pilgrimage to Europe: Mystics of the Rhineland Oct. 3-13, 2026
Amsterdam, Cologne, Bingen, Rudesheim, Strasbourg
Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart & The Beguines
FEW SPACES REMAIN
REGISTRATION CLOSES IN DAYS
Join us October 3-13 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, Cologne, Bingen, Rüdesheim and Strasbourg, tracing the lives and landscapes of Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, the Beguines, and others. Through their teachings and examples, these visionaries invite the world to awaken to 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, the pilgrimage will invite participants to encounter the divine presence that animates the human heart, the natural world, and all beings.
The pilgrimage will be October 3-13, departing from and returning to Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, N.C. The journey will include a day cruise on the Rhine River and many stops at places both sacred and historic. CSW Director Rob Field will lead the pilgrimage, with logistical support from Miller Incoming, a German-based tour company with 40 years of experience. This will be the Center's sixth international pilgrimage, and CSW pilgrims frequently report this is one of their most significant spiritual experiences.
