A pilgrimage for your soul…
All of these listings are meant to inspire and motivate your personal vision of the spiritual place. I believe these places merge the physical world with the emotional and intellectual planes. They are designed to be visited and experienced. After some passage of time that I imagine not even the artists themselves would be able to predict; the synthesis of the planes of existence creates a spiritual vibration that draws us to them.
