Campus Programs & Announcements
Philosophy Cafe Our first Philosophy Cafe will take place on Thursday, Oct 29 in McMurran 101 starting at 12:15. Dr. Kip Redick will present a talk titled
A Sensuous Encounter where Journey and Festival Meet
Festivals and pilgrimage offer participants a celebration of lived-bodies in communion with transcendent values. Along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, towns and villages enact festivals associated with their adopted saints. Pilgrims who happen to be in one of these festival locations join the celebration, which intensifies the communion of lived-bodies amongst pilgrims and erases the divide between indigenous people and those on spiritual journey. A similar happening has been occurring along the Appalachian Mountains in the Eastern United States. Though not associated with any particular religion, long distance hikers of the Appalachian Trail have spiritual journey experiences similar to more traditional pilgrims. Several “trail towns” along the Appalachian Trail have inaugurated festivals celebrating the trail. Hikers and town’s folk experience a lived-body communion similar to what happens on the Camino. This talk explores the sensuousness of the spiritu al journey as it happens on the trail and in the festival. Walking though Spain or along the Appalachian Mountains awakens the hiker’s senses to embodied beings both human and extra human, affording a communion of shared encounter. Festivals along the way allow villagers to participate in the journey and hikers to express their newly discovered insights to those fellow celebrants.
