Haworth, England
In June of 2019, we will be returning to England to read Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece, as a sacred text while engaging in one of the most ancient of traditions: a walking pilgrimage. We will go to the Brontë Parsonage Museum, to the village schoolroom where Charlotte taught, to locations that are said to have inspired sites from the novel such as Ferndean Manor, and wander in the West Yorkshire Moors the way that the Brontë sisters did. Each day will include some opening words from Vanessa Zoltan, Harvard Divinity School alum and co-host of Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, and local experts about Jane Eyre and Charlotte Brontë. We will share our meals together, and most days will include either a museum visit or a visit from an local expert. We will have time and space for writing, reflection, reading, silence, ancient reading practices and of course, for walking.
