Pilgrimage of Calling Back the Soul
Held at the NY Open Center May 2019
Alastair McIntosh, Ph.D., is a leading Scottish activist and Quaker whose life’s work lays out the spiritual basis for social and environmental change. His books include Soil and Soul: People versus Corporate Power, Spiritual Activism: Leadership as Service, and Poacher’s Pilgrimage of which it has been said, “I felt that I had been led to holy ground.”
We live in an era where many things discourage and give cause for fear. But what is this life for? What might be the calling of these times, the calling of cosmic consciousness, the everyday prophetic calling written on the subway walls? In this sharing, one of Scotland’s leading spiritual and ecological activists will walk us though the stages of departure, initiation, and return. Drawing on his acclaimed book, Poacher’s Pilgrimage, McIntosh will deepen a reflection that he opened during the Open Center’s pilgrimage in 2017 to his home island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.
