[Gocamino] Message from Spain - "Camino de las Estrellas"

[Ferran Blasco]

Dear Camino friend,

 

My name is Ferran Blasco Aguasca. I am writing from Barcelona, Spain. 

 

Let me start saying that it’s really wonderful to feel your passion for El
Camino in your webpage. 

 

The reason for my email is to inform you about a 2 week exploration journey
form Barcelona to Finisterre, following El Camino de Santiago, which I am
organizing for a group of 12 participants. The class will take place next
Fall 2008. Even though there will be some parts of walking, the focus of
this journey is not a walking pilgrimage but a in-depth study of: 

 

-          the practices and energetic technology of the Master Builders
that developed the sites along El Camino (megalithic, romanesque, “mozarabe”
& gothic).

-          the use and development of medieval mandala-blueprints to
conceive and create temples as alchemical machines for personal and
collective evolution.

-          the ancestral practices of spiritual cultivation related to the
Stars and constellations that correlate with El Camino in the sky, the Milky
Way.

 

The overall focus will be to investigate what “El Camino de las Estrellas”,
what’s the relationship between el Camino as a space on Earth, el Camino as
a cosmic river, the Milky Way, in the sky, and how the pilgrim interacts
with, is transformed and transforms Heaven and Earth.

 

Our journey will approach El Camino in the same way I was introduce to it
years ago: from the point of view of the Master Builder, the practitioner of
the energetic arts and the pilgrim. We will move in two minivans, which will
offer us the opportunity to visit some truly exceptional sites that are off
the regular Camino and that most walking pilgrims can’t visit because of
obvious time and distance concerns. Some of these sites incluye the
monasterios of Silos, San Millán de la Cogolla and Leyre, San Miguel de la
Escalada, San Pedro de Siresa in Hecho’s Valley (Huesca) and the visigothic
temple of Quintanilla de las viñas.

 

The journey will be a practical hands-on class with lectures and practices
in English. 

 

The intention of the class is: 

-          For those who already walked and are familiar with El Camino, to
experience it from a whole different perspective.

-          And for those who are new to it, give them a very good foundation
on how to approach sites and a good background of practices during the
pilgrimage in the case they feel motivated to walk it later on.

 

I attach a PDF file with the general information. I hope you find my project
interesting. Feel free to share the information with those you think might
be interested.
