The cathedral
of Chartres is
one of the most mysterious and beautiful places on earth.
Taking this pilgrimage from Paris ending in the
middle of the labyrinth at Chartres
is a very special experience. The way from Paris
to Chartres is
particularly nice to walk and manageable for everyone.
We will use public transport on some short distances. Three walking days with
approximately 25 km each are scheduled. We spend three nights in a hostel right
next to the cathedral in Chartres.
Gernot Candolini will introduce you to the
wisdom of the labyrinth and to the unusual symbolic language of the Gothic time
and especially Chartres.
Paula d’Arcy
will share her insights of womanhood on the road. She will particularly speak
about the mystery and meaningof the “black Madonna”.
The trip will be
a chance to meet people from other countries.
Paula will get ~10
people from overseas, Gernot ~10 people from Europe.
To be on this trip together will connect people to share an extraordinary piece
of their walk on earth, linked into their spiritual search and being connected
to the fruitful history of medieval thinking. Our journey always circles (like
a labyrinth) around the great themes of our life which have to do with being
grounded well (like a black Madonna) and reaching high into heaven (like a
gothic cathedral).
