Site Visits

​
Between classes, we venture out to visit places of worship, visiting at least one site for each religion.

The visits are more than tours. You will meet hosts, encounter communities, ask questions, explore fantastic architecture, share meals, and often observe ritual. In some instances, we will be invited to join in and experience the ritual ourselves (optional, never obligatory). 

Schedule​

​

Through years of practice we have honed our schedule to optimize the combination of excellent guides, arresting architecture, and visits timed to observe ritual and communal life.

You'll explore with a great group of people, savour tasty food and, lastly, you'll love the classes - participants often marvel at how scholarly yet accessible they are.

It's a rich experience - hold on to your hats!
