DESCRIPTION:The Anthropocene is “the geological period during which human
  activity is the dominant influence on climate and the environment”.  
  Since World War 2\, for better and for worse\, societies and ecosystems h
 ave moved into the Anthropocene era.\nAn Anthropocene pilgrim considers hu
 man impact on the ecosystems through which they walk\, and how to maintain
  or regain complex ecosystems that include humans but are not completely r
 eshaped by humans.  The Anthropocene pilgrim goes through a holy place - 
 the biosphere/Creation -  rather than to and from a holy place [e.g. Jeru
 salem\, Mecca].\nTheme: In a pilgrimage experience\, people reflect on how
  to know and protect Creation where they work\, live and play.\nOverview:
    The route ends each day in St. Marys churches in Metchosin.  The emp
 hasis is on reflection while walking through Creation\, not on distance tr
 avelled.\nIn 2024\, there will be two days of pilgrimage\, mainly on trail
 s and none on major roads. \n\nFriday\, August 30th:\n\nregister between 
 11:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. at St. Mary of the Incarnation. Parking is available
 .\nAfter registration\, pilgrims are driven from St. Mary to one of the st
 arting points between Metchosin and Sooke\, near the Galloping Goose Trail
 . Pilgrims will walk on local and regional trails to St. Mary of the Incar
 nation church\, 4125 Metchosin Road.\nAt 5:30 p.m. volunteers will serve a
  simple vegetarian ‘pilgrim supper’ of soup\, main course and salad\, 
 and dessert.\nCommunity members are invited to join the pilgrims at the su
 pper. A speaker will lead discussion of different cultural understandings 
 of Creation and the responsibilities of humans within it.\n\n\n\n\nSaturda
 y\, August 31:\n\ngather at Church of the Advent between 8:45 and 9:00 a.m
 . Parking is available.\nThere will be a short Anglican service\, open to 
 all\, at 9:00 a.m.\nPilgrims will walk through Royal Roads University\, al
