Context Travel

I found Chandi's presentation of the history of pilgrimages fascinating and the stories made relevant through the voices of those who undertook a perilous journey to seek miracles, salvation and healing down through the ages.

Chandi gave detailed historical accounts through her research of 12 centuries of pilgrims, showing parallels to today's travelers seeking quietude and having a wanderlust for adventure.

My quest for a deep immersion into the cultures of past and present day, and a desire to seek answers to life's mysteries & challenges, led me to read Chandi's book, "Return to Glow." I was so intrigued, I began to search to learn more, which led me to discover this class and an abundance of resources in the Context Learning curriculum.

I'm learning from the masters, past and present, and am encouraged to forge my own path ahead. I got a lot from just one seminar, and can't wait for the next one.

I am compiling notes for an upcoming pilgrimage next spring. Thank you Chandi for being a beacon of light, and sharing your GLOW!

Mont Saint-Michel is on my bucket list, but with COVID, it may take some time to get there in person. Mr. Wilson brought that experience to life with this tour. I appreciated the history, architecture and actual tour of the abbey and town. It was so well done that I felt as though I were actually there.

An exception lecture on this topic! Ms. Mifsud combined, both historical and spiritual reasons for the importance of this work. I am most thankful for attending this lecture and will follow other lectures by Christina Mifsud.

Really knowledgeable.
Appreciated that she took the time to make them three different ways. Excellent teacher

There are so many pieces of what I heard today from Chandi that are myths or truths passed down from others that were "straightened out" for me .... loved that her experience was first hand and she is passionate about the topic .... one of my favorites to date of all conversations.

A good introduction to Matisse and a relaxing and interesting hands on session making cut-out collages. Pamela was a wonderful host.

Livia Galante is a brilliant lecturer. I loved this seminar for the wealth of interesting detail offered, for the excellent flow of history, society, culture, personal life and explanations that Livia so masterfully weaves into her lectures. As with every lecture and topic offered by Livia I was captivated from start to finish.

It may be difficult to imagine actually feeling a part of a place via Zoom, but our tour guide Dimitra was able to gracefully transport us from our home computers right onto the beautiful island of Crete. For a short while, we were in another place, learning about the history, the land, and the people. Dimitra wove myth, poetry and art into her presentation, bringing this beautiful island to life. I left hungry for Greek pastry covered in honey, a strong cup of coffee, and a desire to visit Crete in person. Quite a wonderful tour, and a lovely, knowledgeable, and engaging guide.

Susan took the listeners on a vaporetto trip to Torcello, and give a short historical background of the island. We then went to Burano and Murano, where we saw pictures of the salient points in each island. Taking us to these islands by boat was a very good idea, as that is how one would get to these places, which are totally linked to their watery surroundings.

It was a very informative and well designed tour

I registered for this course as we were thinking about visiting Crete. After hearing Dimitra's talk we will definitely be going to Crete. She was professional, knowledgable, friendly and able to convey her excitement about Crete. i liked how she divided her presentation starting with geography, then moving onto the history, followed by places of interest and tourist attractions. She was honest about when to go and described places so that one could identify and chose according to ones own personal tastes.

A superb class, given by a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, charming expert on Dante's great work.

Dr. Steer is always wonderful. I particularly enjoyed getting to know Torcello which was new to me. Visiting old friends Murano and Burano was lovely as well. Dr. Steer broadened my knowledge of the history and appreciation for the entire area.
