The power and images of the Archetype of Wanderer will be the focus of this seminar. Some of the themes we will be exploring include exile and return, the relevance of uncertainty, and the difficult and sometimes painful journey we must take as a path to Individuation. This seminar will shed light on the archetype of the wanderer and its impact on our own experiences of physical and psychological wandering. Read More
Glenstal Abbey, an active Benedictine monastery on the Southwest coast of Ireland, sits on 350 acres — with streams, lakes, woodland paths and a magnificent walled garden. Surrounding a castle built in the romantic Norman style, and home to a community of monks, Glenstal is world famous for its choir, remarkable collection of Russian Icons, and prestigious public school. Additionally, it houses one of the most important private libraries in Ireland, containing not only significant theological works but a substantial collection of antiquarian books (many dating back to the 15th century), Irish history, Irish literature, biography and art.

The story of exile, whether enforced or voluntary, and return to a place that has changed beyond recognition is an archetype that defines much of Celtic mythology. An exploration of myths of exile and return, and some of the landscape where they take place, will be the focus of this year’s Study/Tour of Ireland. The stories of the Children of Lir, the wandering of Aengus, the mythic voyage of St. Brendan the Navigator, and the theme of dreams as inner wanderings of the soul will provide us with access to a world of powerful archetypal images.
