Visions of Beauty: a pilgrimage to Russia
August 3, 2020 - August 15, 2020
$10000
Join Dr Natalia Pecherskaya (President, SRPh (Centre for Scientific, Educational, Religious and Philosophical Programs), St Petersburg – www.srph.ru), together with Krystal McCallum (Gippsland Travel) on this pilgrimage of peace to Russa, taking in Moscow, Tver, Great Novgorod and St Petersburg.
Participants will be encouraged to learn about the notions of ‘Beauty’ and ‘Peace’ and their progression throughout the ages. Rich understandings of Russian values, in the light of these notions, will help to highlight spiritual, cultural and historical developments in Russia during the past ten centuries. Engagement with Russian traditional icon painting will help to clarify particular perceptions and visions of ‘Beauty’ through insights into the values of Russian Orthodoxy.
Pilgrimage cost includes return flights, shared accommodation, bus and train transfers, Russian visas, metro transport costs, entrance tickets to museums, palaces, monasteries, lunch, some evening meals, and administration costs.
Please contact Margaret Broadbent rsm on margaret.broadbent@mercy.org.au for more information, including the pilgrimage itinerary, and/or an expression of interest form. Expressions of interest must be submitted by 16 August 2019.
