Sacred Places

An illustrated guide to the world and its sacred wonders

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Wellness travellers are seeking transformative experiences – wellness is, by nature, a journey and a quest. The concept of transformative travel is about finding experiences through trips that shift perspective and allow digital detoxing, connection with oneself, nature, communities, and a sense of the bigger picture in life.

Sacred Places is a stunning new coffee table exploration for seekers of unusual and enlightening destinations, suitable for both armchair travelling and as inspiration for future journeys. The book is particularly focused on experiences, alongside providing a full description of each place.

For example, it includes plant medicine ceremonies in South America, walking the Camino Way, visiting Stonehenge on the winter solstice, wild swimming in Iceland's sacred hot springs, and attending silent retreats. Entries also introduce the history and geography of each place, significant stories, ideal dates to visit, as well as myths, legends, and ceremonies associated with them.
