Information on the tour including the detailed itinerary, logistics, and costs:
PHIL COUSINEAU is an award-winning writer and filmmaker, teacher and editor, lecturer, storyteller, and TV host. His fascination with the art, literature, and history of culture has taken him from Michigan to Marrakesh, Iceland to the Amazon, in a worldwide search for what the ancients called the “soul of the world.” With more than 35 books including the national best-seller The Art of Pilgrimage and 15 scriptwriting credits to his name, the “omnipresent influence of myth in modern life” is a thread that runs through all of his work.
A fellow of the Joseph Campbell Foundation and a Trustee of Sacred Sites International, Cousineau lives with his family on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco.
