Process and Pilgrimage

Earthlinks UK: From the source of the River Dart on Dartmoor to the Sea

From source to sea, from origin to fulfillment, from potential to expression, this pilgrimage follows the journey of the River Dart. In the way of the river, we reflect on the story of our time and ourselves with the aid of storytellers, guides and soul-poets. We seek the rhythm of the river’s aspiration as it sweeps its course to the sea.

Time: 4 days

Cost: Approx £310
